Why WP Community Links is the best social voting plugin for WordPress

Flexible plugin architecture

Most of the available social voting extensions are themes. Extending WordPress functionality using themes is a clumsy way to implement social voting features. What if your site already has a nice design? You would have to customize the social voting theme instead to replicate your existing design elements.

WP Community Links is a plugin, which means it works independently from your theme. You don’t have to worry about starting from scratch.

Customizable templates and API

WP Community Links comes bundled with many template files so that you could modify the way the plugin pages look. It’s no different from working with WordPress theme templates. There are also dozens of helper functions, action and filter hooks so that advanced developers could extend and customize almost every element and detail of a page.

Utilizing cutting-edge features of WordPress 3.0

WordPress 3.0 introduces many new features that make your administration life so much easier (Navigation Menu, Custom Taxonomy etc.). WP Community Links takes advantage of these features to provide a consistent and user-friendly interface.

Adding new categories, tags, and items to the navigation menu is easy and painless.

Customizable user area

Unlike other social voting themes and plugins, WP Community Links does not allow users to use WordPress wp-admin area to post. This reduces security risk, and also let you customize the dashboard and submission form on the front-end.

Integrated Akismet spam filtering and reCAPTCHA

WP Community Links uses Akismet API to identify spam contents. You can also enable reCAPTCHA, which further ensures that your social voting platform is not abused by malicious users. All the constraints are configurable in the admin panel (e.g. maximum number of submissions per hours, maximum number of login attempts etc.)

Facebook integration

WP Community Links lets your visitors log in using their Facebook account. This eliminates the registration barrier and encourages your visitor to contribute more. When your users submit their content to your website, it will be displayed on their Facebook news feed (if they give the plugin permission to do so), thereby increase your site’s exposure.

Enthusiastic support

WP Community Links is an awesome plugin, and it has awesome support as well. You are provided with very detailed documentation, video tutorials and a support ticket system.

As you’ve already experienced by now, receiving support on CodeCanyon is not quite a smooth process. As a result, I use an external ticket system to handle support. I won’t even bother to ask whether you properly paid for my plugin before processing your support tickets on Codaset, because after all, improving the plugin is what matters.

Of course, you’re still welcome to post your questions and problems on CodeCanyon discussion board. It’s just a bit more difficult for me to keep track and prioritize issues on the discussion board.

WP Community Links customization service

If you want to customize WP Community Links on your existing website, but don’t have access to a developer who could help you do that, don’t hesitate to contact me. I will give you a price quote for my customization service. Hiring me to customize your installation means faster delivery, more stability and excellent support. If you use my customization service, you’ll automatically have free access to my future awesome WordPress premium plugins as well!

Form Processor (Forms)

With form processor you can convert a static form into a working form in less than 5 minutes. For the moment it has 2 buildin handlers to send the form content with mail or to save the content in a CSV file. But with a bit of PHP knowledge you can easely write your own handlers.

Look at the example video and see how easy it is to use and implement.

Features

  • Convert static forms to a working one
  • Form validation (email, url, required, phone, number, date)
  • No coding knowledge needed to make your contact form work
  • Form structure doesn’t matter

Installation

Place the following before your form element:

<?php include("../FormProcessor.php");
$Form = new FormProcessor();
$Form?>setHandler( "form_email_process", array("to" => "youremailaddresss", "emailfield" => "Email"));
$Form->start();
?>
<div id="frmsuccess">Thanks for sending us an email!</div>

The frmsuccess element will only be displayed when the form is valid and submitted. And place the following after the form close element:

$Form->stop();

Add email, url, required, … classes to the form fields depending on what type of field it is. For example if an email input field is required you add the required and the email class to that input field:

<input name="Email" class="email required" type="text" id="Email" />

And now you have form that works.

Simple Sanitize (Miscellaneous)

Use this PHP Class to safely access user input like GET and POST variables. Set it and forget it! This class automatically sanitizes your data in various ways. Current options include “strict”, “html”, “mysql”, “both” (html and mysql), or “none”.

Each sanitizing level handles data a little bit differently. “strict” will return input with only alphanumeric characters. “html” encodes all html-entites. “mysql” escapes all special mysql characters (no mysql connection required). “both” runs the html sanitizing and then the mysql. “none” will give you the data as it is.

Optional maxlength parameters included! Before you sanitize a string, you can define the max length (for strings) or max value (for numbers). Strings will be cut off at the maxlength before it is sanitized, and numbers won’t be allowed past that value.

Arrays are supported! This class will recursively sanitize any array it runs into. That means you can return the entire $_POST variable with each and every value sanitized the way you want it.

Force data types! You can force any value you retrieve to be an int, float, or boolean.

Touch Dialog Box (Miscellaneous)

To preview from a mobile device, remove the frame in the live preview, or click here.

UPDATED 08 /06:

– Added mouseover behavior.

Touch dialog box is a jQuery plugin to be easily used to add quick links, mainly to touch enabled sites, although the plugin can also be used in regular desktop websites.

It uses no images, only CSS3 effects and JavaScript, making it a simple to use plugin, as well as a lightweight one.

It allows the developer to add simple actions to a popup dialog, which can be customized in color and font. It also has 2 available show effects: bounce and fade.

It can be used for multiple purposes, but it should be noted that, due to the small size of a smartphone screen, it can hold only a few links.
A common example can be a “share” button: you can make the dialog appear with “Facebook”, “Twitter” and “Email” as options. You can also use it in a touch enabled control panel and call actions such as “Add”, “Edit” and “Delete”.

MOBILE BROWSER COMPATIBILITY :
The plugin has been tested in the following mobile browsers: iPhone Mobile Safari, Android Browser (HVGA and WVGA ), Palm Pre Browser, Opera Mobile for Windows Mobile 6.5, Opera Mini for Android and iPhone. In Opera Mini, there are no animations nor CSS3 styles (shadows and rounder borders).
