I'm sure everyone's list of these fields is slightly different; in my case, I'm considering running a contest with uploaded photos and thus would like to collect name and email from the anonymous users who'd like to supply it; I'd also love a simple checkbox so the user can specify that they'd want to be added to a mailing list. So, my 'wish list' fields are:</p> <p> * Name (so Anonymous uploaders can enter a name, which could then be displayed in the gallery and included in the moderation email)<br /> * Email (so Anonymous uploaders can enter an email address, which could then be included in the moderation email and used to respond to Anonymous users once the photo is moderated)<br /> * 'Add to Email List?' checkbox, the results of which would be included in the moderation email<br /> * A checkbox to make these optional would be helpful, too. For example, if you selected the inclusion of a 'Name' field, you could check the 'required' box, which would update the label to say 'Name (required)' and also would prevent submission of the form until 'Name' was supplied. Alternately, if you left 'required' unchecked, the label would say 'Name (optional)' and would enable submission of the form without this value.</p> <p>Widget Updates</p> <p> * A link to the gallery the photos came from<br /> * The ability to choose whether clicking on a thumbnail displays the photo or takes you directly to the page/post containing the gallery<br /> * The ability to place a little text above and/or below the mini-gallery (so you can provide a little explanatory text)</p> <p>As a non-coder type, I'm sorry I can't provide anything but ideas; but thank you again for your creation of this outstanding plug-in! </p>
