Adding Address to Signature List

At the moment it is intentional that people’s full addresses are not able to be published.

Can you explain why you might want to display this personal information publicly?

We are collecting signatures for a community meeting. The members are recognized by their address within the community. The address is actually more important than their names!

OK, I understand that.

So why do you need a petition (that is intended to send a message to a target) instead of simply using a contact form to collect and display the results.

One of my intentions with this plugin is to try to maintain high integrity so that it is trusted by the site owners, the people who sign and the petition target.

I understand and fully support the need to maintain high integrity.
In our case, we need to collect 10% of signatures of all residences, so we need a clear record of those signing on. We already have a directory of all member names and addresses, so including addresses would not give anything that isn’t already available. We need addresses because some addresses have people with multiple last names, and we can’t count them multiple times.

We need to collect 300 unique and valid addresses — not unique names or unique emails. I added Address as a Custom Field — and that seems to work.

Great thanks for the update.

The thing with these sorts of requests is that they are often very specific to a single site. I want to avoid spending lots of time on coding something that is unlikely to be used. ??

Yes — my request probably isn’t a common one, and I can understand you not wanting to spend time coding exceptions. My solution seems to work anyway and your responsiveness is much appreciated. A great plugin and deserving of 5 stars!

Thanks so much for the review.
