WordPress.org

Actually these questions are not asked frequently. I am just making them up. I just figure you might have these questions. If you have any real ones, make my day and drop a comment either on the WordPress plugin directory or on http://www.spacebabies.nl/ecards/.

Where are the ecards stored?

They are stored as Posts in your WordPress database. They are actually a type of attachment.

What about abuse and spam?

Abuse and spam are a problem and this plugin is trying to deal with it.

It has built-in protection againt spambots who are roaming the web and submitting forms like demented zombies. (did I really use demented zombies in a FAQ? guess so)

It also checks the fields rigorously for valid e-mail syntax.

However at this stage it does not offer a captcha field (one of those images you have to decypher). I will probably add one of those in the future, but we'll see how it goes. If spam is a problem for you, do let me know.

What's planned for the future?

Lots of stuff.

I will use PHPMailed instead of the built-in php support for sending email. PHPMailer is an off-the-shelf component for emailing that's more secure and versatile.

The list of ecards (sent/pending) will also be displayed in a future version, allowing you to monitor the plugin.

Support for your existing WordPress users is planned too, so they don't have to enter their name and email address.
