• Hey. First off I’d like to say thanks for the great plugin. It’s perfect for my needs but I have a few features I’d like to request.

    1.) If you select a logo to appear on the giveaway page you can add a link to it. Otherwise there is no way of getting back to the main site.

    2.) Custom URLs. I’d like the URL of my giveaway to just be mysite.com/giveaway. That means I don’t need to change over all the links each time I create a new one.

    3.) The embed doesn’t work too great. The text is a little messed up and there is no title making it hard for users to understand what it is. (see http://imgur.com/a/XC8hx)
    4.) More mobile friendly. The share buttons don’t rescale too well because the text is too big.

    5.) I’ve an idea for a completely new feature which would put your plugin far ahead of any others which is adding extra requirements for entry. For example users would have to follow on twitter / retweet / like to be entered. Being able to set up which requirements display and in what order would also be helpful. (Same for the share buttons. I mean who uses pinterest? xD) Also for displaying these requirements I’d really appreciate the option to display them one by one. For instance I want users to follow me, retweet and then enter their email. Instead of displaying these requirements in a list you’d only know you had to complete another step after you’ve done the first. Like once you’ve followed the button fades out and a retweet button appears. Maybe we could also set custom amounts for each one? And another small thing is having a button at the bottom saying something like ‘Register using email instead’ as not everyone has twitter / facebook. (I don’t think it will be necessary to track their social accounts as everyone will have to enter their email which is obviously what we use for contacting them. These requirements are just for extra points)

    6.) Be able to customize the text more and hide elements like different social network sharing buttons.

    Obviously implementing all this is a heck of a lot of work and some features are less important than others. What I mean is if you don’t like any of my suggestions then just ignore this post. I really love the plugin so please don’t think that I’m having a go at it. I just want to see it grow into something more awesome! 🙂

    Thanks! 🙂

    Hi @jacktheadmin, thank you very much for all those ideas!

    Each idea is a good one, I just have to see if it’s something possible to create for this plugin and my vision of it.

    Ideas 1), 3), 4) & 6) are fine and I’ll look into them. For the idea 2) Custom URLs, I will have to see if that is something for this plugin. You can always create redirect URLs to get people to the right giveaway.

    The idea 5) is a big one. It is similar to one I was thinking of, but just in the terms of getting new points (entries). Facebook Like & Twitter Follow is something I am looking into creating for getting ‘free’ extra entries. I am also thinking of implementing custom points for each social share.

    I did not think of excluding social media, but sure, this is also a nice idea and I should look into enabling that also:)

    Thank you for the time you have took to write the ideas down:)
