Must Fix
The following is a list of things that must be fixed:
-
Update to post-RC2 API
-
Ensure the button doesn't show up when viewing in an album, only when looking at a photo
-
Update the results:success dialog
-
Add BCC for the admin.
-
Add keyword (to/from) to admin settings
-
Make it appear in the sidebar maintenance page.
Wish List
- Maintain a list of most popular eCards
- Per user, a popular recipient list
- Allow eCards to be sent at a future date. (Hopefully danneh will be able to implement module-level cron so I can get this in)
-
Admin option to send non-watermarked image if image is watermarked.
-
Add a reCAPTCHA to the form (similar to the comments module)
-
Tweak the button on the sidebar. If someone has a postcard or envelope icon that can be used, please let me know.
-
The term "eCard Settings" under Admin > Settings should probably be "eCard settings" (lower case 's') to follow the rest of the naming conventions in G3.
-
Send to multiple recipients
-
Send a copy to yourself
-
Limit the size of the message to XXX chars
-
Option to send thumbnail vs resized image
