<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello. My name is Mouad, I use the
petition management plugin called Wordpress Petition Plugin<U><STRONG>
</STRONG>on my </U><A href="http://www.3areda.com">www.3areda.com</A><U>
website. I will present you with the following needs and you report to me the
estimated cost<STRONG>. </STRONG></U></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT size=2 face=Arial><U><STRONG>Please take into account
that this website hosts petitions not for profit at all, with me being a self
financed university student. The profits from the adsense ads that appear
on the website have now reached to only $19 since I opened the service like
two years ago :D</STRONG></U></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><STRONG><U><FONT size=2
face=Arial></FONT></U></STRONG> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>There are couple of bugs in the plugin, and other MUST HAVE
modifications which shall make the plugin the really perfect plugin for
petitions.<BR><BR>I have reported all these to James, the developer of the
plugin, as feedback comments on his freecharity.co.uk blog, which he
has approved as should-have. But some of them (my comments) got deleted for no
obvious reason (to me), and others are still there. In any case, I would like to
draw your attention to the following: They are very simple but I will explain to
you in details in order to fully express the situation, and pardon any language
mistakes as I am no native speaker of English :)</P>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR><STRONG><SPAN
style="COLOR: red">BUGS</SPAN></STRONG></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><STRONG><SPAN style="COLOR: black">1- The "first petition
bug", as I call it</SPAN></STRONG><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><BR>There is a bug in the Petition Management section of the
Wordpress admin panel. If I choose a specific petition of the ones I created,
from the dropdown menu in the top of the page, and then choose either to "Resend
all [unconfirmed] emails", or to view the "next 10 [signatures]", (see attached
image no 1), that command I choose is executed Not on the petition I selected
from the menu, but on the very first petition that I created. The url of that
command is :
<BR><BR>http://www.3areda.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fcpetition.php_manage&resendall=yes&po=8<BR><BR><BR>What
I do to override this is, after I am obliged to resend confirmation emails to
the first petition, if I re-choose the petition I want from the menu (in the
page that appears directly after the resend process, which shows a message
"confirmation emails resent"), the command is again executed but now for the
petition I want. That means that I have to resend confirmation emails to the
first petition everytime and then , from the page loaded after the sending is
done, I can resend to the petition I want.<BR><BR>The url that appears upon the
second resend command
is:<BR><BR>http://www.3areda.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fcpetition.php_manage&resendall=yes&po=8<BR><BR>The
same applies for the "next 10 signatures" link, as well as viewing a custom
number of signatures in each page. To do any of these, I have to go through the
first petition first. Imagine, if I click next 10, it shows signatures from
11-20 of the first petition, even if I was in the window of the petition I want.
Now I can choose the desired petition from the dropdown (again), and now it
shows 11-20 of that petition. If I click Next 10 again, it again shows 21-30 of
the first petition, untill I rechose the desired petition from the dropdown, and
so on. <BR><BR>This is frustrating when dealing with signatures and deleting
spam or improper comments. <BR><BR>I wish you understood what I meant to say
:)<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">1- In the signatures
management page on dashboard, There should be checkboxes near each
signature in order to carry out bulk actions. Imagine, a number of spam
signatures in one petition. I have to click "delete" on each of them, the page
reloads, and then I can delete another one, and so on. The same applies for
erasing a comment. If there are checkboxes, one can "select all" or select the
ones he want removed, and execute "bulk actions" like, delete on them. Just like
in wordpress. Can you imagine how wasy that will make it ? </SPAN></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">If that can be done
from the wordpress post which shows the petition, that will be really
really great, you know, like the "WP Ajax comments", which enables an admin who
is logged in, to edit, delete, or hide any comment directly from the index of
his blog without the need to enter the admin panel only to delete one spam
comment.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">2- Numbers should be
added to signatures too, both in the admin and in the blog index. In the recent
updates of the plugin, it is said that this is available, but its not,
actually.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">3- The manual
confirmation of unconfirmed signatures, it is also said that this is available
in the recent updates, but its not. If that is added to the "bulk actions" list,
it is really great too. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">4- Verification
method should be optional between either email confirmation, or "answer this
question". Email confirmation is very tricky for unfamiliar users, and emails
are very likely to go to junk. If I choose my own question which users have to
answer, it will be great and troubles free. </SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

wish you to consider. When I was setting my first petition, I added the
