Please note I had to remove some our new features from this public list, there are some inner workings and filters/checks we won't be telling anyone about
Version 2 will be finished before the end of September, and there are some additional updates I will add on to the end of the list once they have been finalized witht he Dev. team.The spec was originally written to ask my team what was possible and to get a quote, so that why it may read funny at various point despite some editing!
Changes and new features for Members
General Changes (to whole members area)
1. Internal messaging system. For example, when Network Creator denies new site, they should be able to send a message to site own to explain why. We should have a dropdown list of reasons why site could have been denied, and also a small area for the Network Creator to add notes. This will be in a lightbox.
2. On profile/member home pages, we will have a feed where new messages are displayed. This is different from the email notification system.
3. Constant link to Wordpress sites. We can remind you about updates/warnings in the message area. We will force the plugin to auto update.
4. Changing 15 items per page display, particularly on the sites pages. Drop down menu at bottom of tables, "Number of items to display: 10,20,50,100"
5. Allow people to control all their WP settings for all sites from FBN dashboard. Maybe we need a new page/area for this. This is because when we make image posting, we want to allow user to opt out of images if they want to.
6. When page is refreshed, keep previous settings (sorting, filters), like when searching for a member, and deactivating, or approving a site but the page reloads the full list of sites in network, not the ones that need approving. It means you have to do filter "pending" again. It's annoying!
7. We need to have more network info shown on the invite/join-to-network pages. If member goes to network through invite link, he cannot see details of network!
New Network Creator settings for http://fightbacknetwork.com/network/new
1. Make it possible for network creators to specify content length. For example: Minimum content length (in word count), drop down menu 200,300,400,500,600,800,1000,1200,1500. Default for existing networks will be 400.
2. New option: Link Isolation: Yes/No. This means whenever a post is sent to this network, we check to see if any of the domains linked to, match any other links sent out from other networks. The default will be "no", and all existing networks will be set to "No".
3. New "Allow Link Reports" option. Default will be "yes". If this option is set to "No" then posts on this network will not show a URL on the members "My Posts" page. It will say "No link reporting" instead.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/my_sites
1. Make WP code button copy like bit.ly, no confirm prompt, just one click copy.
2. Maybe adding a little icon of a pencil or something like that next to site name in order to edit it. This means allow members to change site name (not WP URL) of existing sites.
3. "View WP API code" text could be small icon instead, to save on screen space.
4. We need a new section called (a whole new page) "Posts on my sites". This will be a table that shows all posts sent to that member's sites. Each row in table should have: site name, network name, category, post title (which is link to post), and "Report" button, which will send message to admin to check post.
5. We need to have searches and sorting for this page, so user can search by WP url, or name, or by "not connected" etc.
6. We don't need to show WP Connected At, or Created At columns for members, only do this for Admin.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/join-network-grid
1. On network grid, make check box for "Show FBN networks only."
2. Default display for networks should be largest networks (most current sites) displayed first.
3. We need to make display better for small screens, perhaps removing the arrow graphics to make more room.
4. Still, on this page, for column "Unique IPs", there are some empty table cells!
5. When member tries to join network, but PR check fails because of proxy. Instead of giving user incorrect error message, system will just try again, or prompt user to try submit again.
6. When Network Creator selects many categories, they all show in network grid, it looks messy, we will have scrolling inside "category" table cells.
7. Do NOT show networks with 0 confirmed sites in the network grid.
8. Add "Quick Search" bar, text search which will return results that match in Network name or category.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/post/new
1. Image posting needs update to plugin so images are downloaded locally. Maybe we need to change file names too.
2. Enable image posting (max of 3 <img /> tags).
3. Limit posts to one link to each linked domain. So, it member makes max 3 links in post, all 3 links must link to different domains. Some members make 3 links all to the same place in the same post! We can't allow this.
4. Enable youtube video posting. (max 2).
5. If "tags" is left empty, randomly choose 3 words for post content to use as tags, excluding words like "like, the, and, is a" Maybe make it so it only pulls words longer than 6 letters long.
6. Make "source" tab the new default tab. Above Tiny MCE box, make message "PLEASE NOTE: The Default Editor is HTML mode, please click "editor" to change to WYSIWYG editor."
7. Instead of having 2nd cron job run automatically, can we hold posts in queue for moderation. If post is not checked by admin within 24 hours, it posts automatically. This means we need page in admin screen where we can approve/deny post, and give a reason why to member. If denied, posts must be stored so member can edit and resubmit.
8. We need system to check duplicate content. We use copyscape, but what if Member posts same post 5 times in a row, how can we know it's duplicated content?
9. When post is made, must check if allocated blog allows images/videos. If not, we need to strip those out of article content.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/my_posts
1. Add new "delete post" button with "Are you sure?" Prompt.
2. Reinstate link disengaging for members. At top of this page have "Purge links" button, next to drop down of all networks user is a member of. This means, if a network is discovered, Member can select network, and then hit "purge" button, to delete all of their links from that network. Make sure the function prompts users to confirm.
3. Have "Download Link report" button, offer 2 formats: plain text and CSV. Plain text just returns a list of post URLs
4. Change "Not Used" to "Scheduled".
5. New status: "Correction". This is if admin has denied post, member can edit post and resubmit. Link need to go back to new post editor, with previous post loaded in tiny MCE.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/site/new
1. When member adds site, we need to make a test post and check that the posted URL is correct. Some users have been using WP plugins to disable outbound links in published posts. We need to make sure the site does not do this. The test should wait 5-10, then check if posted link exists without the rel="nofollow" tag. The test should wait 5-10 seconds because some members are cookie stuffing and clickjacking sites. This is against the rules of the networks.
2. We need a bulk uploader. So probably a textarea box, each site on a new line. So member can copy paste large list of sites. Each site on a new line. Maybe limit bulk uploads to 20 at a time, if list is too large prompt user that list is too big.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/my_networks
1. On network manage pages, we want the list of networks to be sorted with "pending confirmation" at the top by default.
2. Next to "manage" button, we need a link to submit sites to network, this will be the same as clicking "join" or using that networks invite button. This means members does not have to go to network grid to join their own networks.
New features for http://fightbacknetwork.com/my-profile
1. I got this email: "Hi Mikey, I've submitted 5 sites each to a different network and they're all accepted by the networks, but my profile is still showing 0 post quantity remaining today. How to exactly know my dailiy credit?" Profile number will update correctly after site submission.
2. Affiliate system on this page. For example. "This is your affiliate link, earn 50% commissions!: http://aff.com/hfsda673rb" More about payment and affiliate system further below.
