    Hi,

    For creating a petition that shouldn’t just define people by name, I would need to change the “First Name” and “Last Name” fields and only leave one called “Identity”.

    I would also like to know if it would be possible to change the “BCC” into something closer to “I accept to receive news from [organization] in the future”

    Could you please help me with this?

    Thanks a lot !

    Unfortunately removing one of the name fields is likely to cause problems without some code revision. The values need to be passed through to the database. It may be possible but it is not something I am willing to undertake for a single user.

    BCC stands for Blind Carbon Copy and it means to silently send a copy of the email to the person signing it. That is very different to the field about signing up for newsletters which is another field.

    Thanks for your quick response. Would it be possible to just change the labels of “First Name” and “Last Name” to “Identity” and “Activity”? This would do the trick without having to remove any fields or change the form itself.

    For the newsletter sign up, is this a field that it would be possible to add? Or is it included somewhere already and I’ve missed it?

    This is possible but a little tricky. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/SpeakOut/languages/speakout-fr_FR.po and replace those two phrases with what you want.

    It then needs to be compiled to a .mo file and uploaded to the same directory. If you can’t do that contact me via https://SpeakOut.123host.net.au

    The problem will be that when I next upgrade that language file your changes will be lost.

    I managed to change them with your guidance. Thanks for your help ! If you upgrade that language I can simply do the same change again, right?

    Regarding the BCC: because we don’t want to send emails anyway, is it possible to simply remove it?

    There is an option in the petition settings dashboard > SpeakOut! > petitions > edit at the top to not send emails. You can also remove the BCC field.

    Hi,

    Removing the emails sending option does not remove the BCC field. I cannot find any other option on this page allowing me to remove it. Could you please be more specific on where I can find this option? Sorry for bothering…

    Thanks for your help !

    All good, thank you. The translation confused me.
