    First of all, this plugin is amazing, and sooo good to be true!
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    I have a couple of questions.

    We want our users to be able to add Campaigns more rapidly, so we want to automate most of the creation process.

    1) How can we generate URLs automatically from the title? (the same way shortcodes does) (ex. if the Title = First Post, URL = first-post) – and is there a verification loop in the code, which checks if the name is available ?

    2) We want to be able to centralize the ‘user goal’ amount. So we want to make that field constant for all campaigns, with a non-editable/fixed input field. How can we achieve this? Which part of the code / file has these variables?

    3) We need videos in each campaign, and as far as I saw from the previous forum post here, you said it’s impossible to add videos, unless you’re adding them to the cause itself. We have a theme which gets youtube video links automatically and embeds them right away. I’m hoping this may work(haven’t tried yet), but if it doesn’t, is it possible for me to edit/add a customized input field, which has youtube’s standard embed code in it, so if someone types the link of the video, the plugin can then add the rest of the embed code to the link ?

    4) How can we list recent campaigns like posts in the front page ?

    5) Is it possible to add categories or tags to campaigns ?

    6) – (Haven’t tried yet) If someone searches for a campaign using the internal search, would it return the campaign? OR the cause ? OR both ? or not return anything at all ?

    -We’re planning to launch the project in September; as soon as we’re up running, we would love to donate and also contribute code to your work.

    Again thank you so much for this amazing plugin!
    It saved us a lot of time!

    Oh for the 5th question,

    Maybe I can create multiple causes, and use them as Categories.

    But now the question is :

    Would it be possible to list campaigns of causes ? like wordpress does in category pages ?
    (ex. Cause A has 5 Campaigns, Cause B has 10 campaigns, I just want to list Cause B’s 10 campaigns)

    In regards to your questions:

    1) Right now the plugin is wired to require the users to fill in a url value and there is no way to turn it off. The value the user puts in is validated when a user clicks on the Ok button in the Create Campaign popup. If the name is already in use, the user is informed.

    2) You can’t make the user goal non-editable, but you can specify a default goal value in the cause. This value is then put in automatically into the goal field on new causes, but users can override.

    3) You can add custom field types using filters. Once you have added a custom field type you can create field(s) in the personal fundraiser options page using that custom type. The shortcodes are:
    pfund_field_types, pfund_<CUSTOMTYPE>_input, pfund_<CUSTOMTYPE>_shortcode and pfund_render_field_list_item. For example:
    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

    4) That depends upon your theme, but in theory you could code your theme to do so.

    5) You cannot current add categories or tags to campaigns. If you want to list the campaigns for a particular cause, if you go to /causes, you will see a list of all of your causes. If you click on a particular cause, it will take you to a page that lists all of the campaigns associated with a cause.

    6) Again, this depends on your theme and what kind of search it is employing. In theory you should be able to have a search on your theme that does search causes and/or campaigns.

    2) maybe a hacky way – <input … readonly=”readonly” > ?
