 * Looks like this is going to be a lifesaver but two issues
 * 1 – the server has been down for a while (8th Dec)
 * 2 – you really should avoid using “my_” in a production release.
    in wp_enmask_admin.
   php I had to change the “my_plugin_menu” to “enmask_plugin_menu” as it was clashing
   with one of “my” plugins ;oP
 * I’m hoping you get the server issues sorted out.
    I was on the understanding 
   this was a cloud service though…
 * thanks

 * Hi,
 * I’m looking for this kind of functionality in a plugin too.
    (avoiding having
   to edit htaccess is nice)
 * As the original OP asked, I’d like that anybody who tries to access /wp-login.
   php?…
    will be forced to /members-area/ which has my own front end login.
 * All the other plugins just turn wp-login.php into a pretty url such as /login/
   
   So I guess a simple pretty rename, one entry per line separated by “|” would 
   be nice. Something like wp-login.php|user-login/
 * Other simple but must have things that could be added to this script are
    Allow
   Ajax use of the admin folder even when logged out (that’s where it lives and 
   some plugin writers who use Ajax expect the user to be logged in whereas others
   allow for those not yet logged in) and Setup an easy redirect for sight migration
   as per these examples
 * somesite.com/content/lang/en -> somesite.com/content/
    somesite.com/content/lang/
   de/ -> somesite.net/content/ or somesite.com/content/lang/de/ -> de.somesite.
   com/content/ even somesite.com/content/lang/de/ -> theothersite.com/products/
 * I’ve coded that this manually in htaccess for now but to add this level of tweakability
   would make this plugin very SEO helpful.
    I’m splitting a clients multilingual
   website into two seperate sites and need to retain search engine ranking.
 * Oh and fix trailing slash is the other must have
 * thanks

 * hey Andy,
 * thanks for the follow up!
    good to hear that you have put some safety checks 
   in.
 * I’ll be checking back to see how this turns out.
    currently I’m hacking my own‘
   CRM’ by hooking shopping cart and messaging plugins together maybe your plugin
   will have a place when we go for _version 3_ next time
 * here’s an idea of what we are looking at
 *     ```
       - shop owner can broadcast a message regarding an order
       message who: all account holders who are in Canada
       limit by: open and unshipped (current) orders
       message: CA post office is on strike - your order will be delayed
       ```
   
 *     ```
       - customer/shop owner can message one to one on an order
       subject: "regarding order # ->
       (drop down menu for customers order history)"
       body: textarea input
       ```
   
 * currently rolling my own but would welcome whatever you can add on your CRM base
 * cheers

 * thanks to the person who did the work for us
    just be aware that this is a hack
   to include in your theme functions and not a replacement for the plugin
 * note that there is an error in the hack at line 50
 * `$output.=wpfp_cookie_warning();`
 * should be
 * `$output.=my_wpfp_cookie_warning();`
 * hopefully the author will release a new API compliant version soon

 * yes this is because of the following reasons
 * in **wp-favorite-posts.php**
    function **wpfp_list_favorite_posts()** is calling
   the template file in this manner before **$content** is being checked for shortcodes
 *     ```
       if (@file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/wpfp-page-template.php')):
               include(TEMPLATEPATH.'/wpfp-page-template.php');
           else:
               include("wpfp-page-template.php");
           endif;
       ```
   
 * this means that before the $content is parsed, whatever is happening in the template
   file is causing the favorite links to be generated ahead of the content rendering
   thereby circumventing the ability to place the favorites inline as a swap out
   for the shortcodes
 * looking at the template file itself, we can see it’s set up to **echo** it’s 
   contents as opposed to generate a **return** string
 *     ```
       <?php
           echo "<div class='wpfp-span'>";
          ... code truncated for posting here ...
           echo "</div>";
           wpfp_cookie_warning();
       ?>
       ```
   
 * I’m sure the author could change this – I’m currently hacking away at the code
   to try and strip the template into rendering and layout sections so that I can
   include the rendering inline as opposed to ahead of all content but other things
   are taking my time
 * for pointers something along the lines of
 *     ```
       <?php
   
       $wpfp_echoStr = '';
       $wpfp_echoStr .='<div class="wpfp-span">';
          ... code truncated for posting here ...
       $wpfp_echoStr .= "</div>";
   
       //if(wpfp_cookie_warning())...
       //generate your warning strings and tag on to output//
       //do the same for remove links etc//
   
       $wpfp_echoStr .= '<div class="wpfp-userinteration">';
       $wpfp_echoStr .= $wpfp_userinteration;
       $wpfp_echoStr .= "</div>";
   
       ?>
       ```
   
 * understand that you will need to work out when and how to call $wpfp_echoStr 
   for inclusion – I’ll report back if I get around to it
 * great plugin btw!

 * oh it’s a beta for sure, a public beta (a big difference to that and a private
   beta)
 * for a public beta this is pushing the envelope when you are allowed to not only
   delete user data without confirmation but delete all that user’s data (posts/
   comments/uploaded non database content such as images etc) without a confirmation
   before committing and no ability to roll back after pulling the trigger.
 * and the fact that admin can delete himself and all his settings from the DB is
   definately not public beta ready.
 * let’s not forget that this plugin is supposed to be a customer relations (support)
   plugin.
    until they remove the database kill switch it’s not worthy of any realworld(
   public beta) applications.
 * don’t get me wrong – looks like its going to be a great plugin – but lets remove
   the kill switch before we go public – I wouldn’t release a car for public beta
   if the brakes didn’t work – a private beta in closed circles where people are
   briefed about the brakes not working is fine.
 * pitty the fool who doesn’t know who Mr. T is (tounge in cheek) and that a beta
   without feedback is not a beta ;oP

 * well I had to do a complete database restore…
 * pity the fool who uses this plugin for any realworld applications
 * harsh words yes – but little did I know that deleting user ‘admin’ would delete
   all his image uploads as well.
 * I shudder to begin what the paid/extended version of this tool does
 * please do tell, what else do I have to check up on?
 * Beta testing has never been so much fun ;o/
