Any plans for an update?

  • I’m enjoying the plugin and it works well for what I need to do.

    Suggestions for next update:
    1) The admin menu displays “BuddyPress Invitations” instead of “Invite Everyone” which is the plugin name. Make these consistent as “invite Everyone”.
    2) Move Invite Everyone setting out from Settings.
    3) As part of settings, allow footer %%ACCEPTURL%% link to be modified. Right now it points to a “register” page that is useless.
    4) The entire footer received by email is inconsistent with the settings. Would be nice to have more control. The “unsubscribe” at bottom of email requires a login to the site, so this is of no use because by definition I am sending invites to people that are not members.
    5) If the setting is set to where the member cannot change the body of the text, you could allow limited HTML.

    I am really hoping a new update will be available soon as this is a great plugin with no other reasonable alternative.

    Regards,

    Hi there,

    Thanks for taking the time to post.

    > 3) As part of settings, allow footer %%ACCEPTURL%% link to be modified. Right now it points to a “register” page that is useless.

    The value of this URL can be filtered, using the invite_anyone_accept_url filter:

    
add_filter(
  'invite_anyone_accept_url',
  function( $email ) {
    $url = ''; // build your own URL
    return $url;
  }
);

    You say that the “register” page that is useless. I assume you mean that you have disabled registration on your site? Invite Anyone has a feature built in that should make the example.com/register/[email protected] URL format work even if registration is disabled on your site. If this is not working, perhaps you could provide some more details on your setup, and the exact behavior you’re seeing.

    > 4) The entire footer received by email is inconsistent with the settings. Would be nice to have more control. The “unsubscribe” at bottom of email requires a login to the site, so this is of no use because by definition I am sending invites to people that are not members.

    The email should contain a link that allows users to opt out of future emails. This opt-out email doesn’t require a log in. The URL should look something like: example.com/register/[email protected]. If the URL is not working, it could be linked to your problem with the registration page. If you’re not seeing this link at all, it could be due to some other email with email templates. I’m not aware that there are any “unsubscribe” links in Invite Anyone emails at all.

    > 5) If the setting is set to where the member cannot change the body of the text, you could allow limited HTML.

    This is a good suggestion. I’ve opened a ticket at https://github.com/boonebgorges/invite-anyone/issues/169 to track it.

    I’m continuing to maintain the plugin to ensure that its basic functionality works and that it continues to be compatible with the latest BP and WP. However, I’m not currently building new features. This might change down the line if a client wants some new features.

    Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

    My apologies for the late reply. I was at a tradeshow and am just now coming up for air.

    I see you’ve already made some of the changes and wanted to say thank you!

    3) I have a complex registration that uses 4 separate forms depending on the class of membership. My “registration” page is actually https://www.gmeta.org/membership/join-us
    This is why I need to set a different place to send invitees.

    4) Based on your answer for 3), I’ll provide more info on 4) since they may be related.
