## Description

This plugin provides easy way for adding widget to show number of support statements
in Finnish citizens’ initiative. It also adds a link to kansalaisaloite.fi where
the initiative may be signed. It receives initiative information from kansalaisaloite.
fi Open Data API so all the information is fresh.

Plugin handles citizens’ initiative states correctly.

If initiative is more than month old and has less than 50 support statements, the
due date and signature link will not be shown because signing is no longer possible
in kansalaisaloite.fi. Initiative more than six months old and with less than 50
000 support statements is treated same way.

Citizens’ initiative sent to Parliament will show message saying that the initiative
has been sent to Parliament and signature link will not be shown.

**Usage**
 Navigate to the ‘Widgets’ dashboard, drag and drop ‘Kansalaisaloite’-
widget to the desired place and set initiative number to get started. Initiative
number is the last part of initiative url in kansalaisaloite.fi, example kansalaisaloite.
fi/fi/aloite/**1**.

In widget settings there is input for title, if it is empty widget title will be
title of initiative. There is also opportunity to choose whether the widget uses
Finnish or Swedish title of initiative. Signature link uses this same choice so 
that if Swedish is chosen, link will point to Swedish version of kansalaisaloite.
fi.

**Future plans**

 * Add possibility to show progress bar for visualizing the number of support statements
 * Add shortcode support to get number of support statements into content

**Languages**

 * Finnish
 * Swedish _by [Lotta Söderholm](http://lottasoderholm.org/)_
