We have a simple and enjoyable project for an experienced Wordpress plugin designer. The desired end result is an easily-installed Wordpress plugin for encouraging blog visitors to submit a comment or a blog post. On completion of that task the visitor will then gain access to a download page where they will be able to access a free gift as an incentive.
Here are the main features required:
--------------------
Blog Post Submission
--------------------
- A simple form generator like TDO-Miniforms that will allow the site owner to create a form for users to fill in. When this is submitted by the visitor it is saved to the Wordpress control panel as a "draft" post for the site owner to check/publish.
- The visitor is then sent to a "thank you" page to thank them for submitting an article.
- The ability to create a post template so that all the relevant information from the form is formatted correctly ready to be published.
- When the post is published by the site owner, the visitor then receives an email informing them where they can download their free gift.
- On this page the visitor can download their reward as well as being encouraged to share their post on Facebook.
------------------
Comment Submission
------------------
- A simple form generator to extend the basic functionality of the Wordpress commenting system so that it allows additional fields (such as comment title).
- The visitor is then sent to a "thank you" page to thank them for submitting a comment.
- The ability to create a comment template so that all the relevant information from the form is formatted correctly ready to be published.
- When the comment is published by the site owner, the visitor then receives an email informing them where they can download their free gift.
- On this page the visitor can download their reward as well as being encouraged to share their comment on Facebook.
We think based on our previous experiences of Wordpress plugin development that this should be quite a quick and easy project bearing in mind we are only adding basic extra functionality and that the free TDO-Miniforms plugin can be used as an example of much of the functionality we desire.
