wp-web-push's Issues

Add a warning in the admin pages to remind the user to set the GCM specific options

Show number of clicked notifications in the dashboard widget

Test the plugin with WP_DEBUG on

It's required to pass the review to be published on the Plugin Directory (https://wordpress.org/plugins/about/faq/)

Use bigger TTL for push messages

Handle 'pushsubscriptionchange' event

Fix warning in wp-web-push-main.php

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-web-push/wp-web-push-main.php on line 144

Add icon to notifications

We can use https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_site_icon_url/, but it has been introduced in WP 4.3.

Add explanatory sections in the settings page

The most important one would be the GCM section.

Send a notification when a new post is published

A simple basic notification for now (without a dynamic payload).

Generate code that subscribes to push notifications in public pages

Remove plugin DB table and options when the plugin is uninstalled

Store endpoints in the WP DB

Set up unit tests

Improve the short description in the readme.txt file and in the plugin info comment (in the main plugin file)

At the moment it's maybe too short.

Send message with payload

Implementing push payload encryption with PHP isn't an easy task (because the standard PHP openssl library is missing a lot of functionality).
We could implement this with a GET request in the push event.

Verify nonce

I added the code as part of 1c3fb66, but it isn't working.

Support localization

Actually respect the user choice about the 'New Post' trigger

The user can decide to select/unselect it, but we're going to send a notification either way.

We should add a check in on_transition_post_status to make it return early if the New Post trigger is disabled.

Don't make all the notification icon options mutually exclusive

For example, users might want to select "Post Thumbnail" and, if there's no thumbnail attached to a post, "Site Icon".

Allow setting the behavior on notificationclick

We could give different options:

1. Focus/open tab
2. Custom JS code?

Allow setting the behavior for when to prompt the user for registering

E.g. we could let the user configure a minimum number of visits before the user is asked to register.

Add build status badge

Check what's the minimum supported WordPress version and add it to the readme

Add statistics about the subscription process

Handle subscription in a sane way

Currently we're re-registering every time the user open the site 😄

Count the number of notifications closed

Allow setting what to show as the title of the notification

By default the title should be the title of the blog and the body the title of the blog post.

Don't prompt the user to subscribe again if he's denied the permission (or removed it from the prefs)

Admin UI to manage settings

Remove registrations from the DB table when the push service replies with 404

Add a long description to the readme.txt file

Allow users to enable/disable the subscription button

Generate service worker code in public pages

Change license to GPLv2

Improve README

It can be generated with this: https://generatewp.com/plugin-readme/

Open site when clicking on notification

Support selecting an icon from the media library

Check if we can support WP versions >= 3.0.1 < 3.5

See also #33.

I've run into a few issues while installing those WP versions on my system, perhaps the plugin wasn't working because of that.

There's a problem in the HTTP class on WP 3.0, so if we want to support it we need to write our own class.

Support GCM

Allow setting what to show as the body of the notification

Add current_user_can and is_admin calls where necessary

It isn't clear to me whether these calls are actually necessary in some settings, we should investigate.

For example, should we check current_user_can('manage_options') in WebPush_Admin::options()?

Support Google Chrome

Improve default behavior on 'notificationclick'

Currently, we focus a page of the blog if there is one open or we open a new tab to the home page of the blog.
This could be confusing to users, we should only focus/open the page of the newly published post.

Use a nicer notification icon

Allow for configuring what prompts a notification

We should provide the user a listing of events that could occur to which would prompt an event. Example:

• New post
• Updated post
• New comment
  ....

Add some screenshots to the readme.txt file

• Prompt from Firefox
• Prompt from Chrome on Android
• Notification from Firefox on Linux
• Notification from Firefox on Windows
• Notification from Firefox on Mac
• Notification from Chrome on Android
• Dashboard

Send notification after subscription

Automatically run unit tests on Travis

Allow users to manage their subscription

E.g. a panel where an user can unsubscribe, re-subscribe, choose the categories he's interested in, etc.

Add statistics in a box in the dashboard
