Feature Requests

Hello Philsbury,

I would like the Dutch translation added to the releases. I have to copy my own .po file every time after an upgrade. And I don’t mind to contribute to this translation.

Hi @remcovansanten,

Translations are handled outside of the plugin by the WP translation tools. There is an NL version though I don’t think it’s 100% complete; You can add it to your WordPress by going to wp-admin/update-core.php and then the last section is to get translation files.

If you want to contribute to the translations that would be great, you should be able to do so here:

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to see support for BuddyPress (ie. if their set age during registration or on their profile is below the min. age they don’t get to see adult content and the ability to mark uploaded media and statuses as age-sensitive) and marking specific categories as users need to be over the minimum age requirement.

Thanks,
Nathan P.

@whiteeagle1985,

Thanks for the suggestion, I had a very quick look into what may be required there – I think it’s going to need a bit of thought – e.g. who controls the date of birth when registering – and the plugin will need to know what fields to pick up.

Definitely something I’ll look at though. Version 2 of the plugin is coming up so it’ll probably be once that is stable.

Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,

Firstly, thanks for your work on this plugin!

It would be great if we could add additional content in to the page for age-gate pages that require more HTML content beyond the wp_age_gate_additional option in settings. I thought it might be possible to achieve this with a shortcode.

I think an even more flexible method would be to add some hooks and filters so we could add dynamic or static content and perhaps modify other things beyond the settings available through the plugin dashboard.

Cheers,
twf

Hi Phil
I’d like to add my thanks for this plugin ??
I have a quite heavily customised image-based site, and would like a function I could call to see if the user is able to see NSFW (not safe for work) images (although it could have other applications).
I could then code my query to filter out gallery images that were inappropriate for the context, so they just wouldn’t appear.
Ideally, the function would call the confirmation dialogue screen if that hadn’t been passed.
Just an aside – some users may be age-qualified, but – if they’re at work – may choose for those images not to appear – I’d like to avoid the situation where the images are passed through the user’s work network.
Cheers,
Drew

Can you please add the ability to change Yes/No text with my own.
Also please add the ability to change “Remember me” text.

This will allow for local translation or “tone of voice” variations. Thanks for your great work!

@kaytellehoelgmailcom – I’m amazed I never even thought of that!

@muttznutz – that sounds quite complex over and above what this plugin is really for. I think a simpler solution would be to add a flag for each media item itself and then have a toggle like the old google safe search. I think a secondary plugin for that would be fairly straight forward. I’ll have a look into is at some point

@twfdev – hooks and filters will be the way to go with this for sure I think

As a general update on the state of the plugin, it’s been deconstructed to a fairly large extend and is being put back together in a slightly more manageable (for me!) way. This will fall under the 2.0 banner along with some fairly hefty changes to presentation (custom css editor being one thing that’s been requested a few times). I’m hoping over the Christmas break to make some of these things finally a reality.

@philsbury
Thanks ??
Yes, I can add flags to the images, and I was hoping to just have a boolean test against those (I can put that in my theme).
If you don’t mind, I’ll maybe have a go at it myself – I’ll let you know how I get on.

@muttznutz I’ve had a quick stab a it, if you use the Github Updater plugin, you can install it via that using philsbury/nsfw, or you can download a zip here

It basically puts a checkbox on posts/pages and in the attachment upload to flag content. You can the get an array of IDs to a post__not_in or similar by calling get_nsfw_ids() in your theme file.

Feel free to branch and alter, was just something for me to have a play with. Also chuck any issue on GitHub rather than in here.

Hope it helps,
Cheers
Phil

Thanks @philsbury that’s super-fast ??
I’ll have a dig around in it and let you know how I get on.
Cheers,
Drew

I’d like to record the date of birth (and age) entered in the User profile. Is that possible?

This way, registered users wouldn’t have to keep confirming their age.

Hi @burtonlo,

The basis for that is there, you can check age at registration and then ignore logged in users. However, this assumes two things: That you are using the standard WordPress registration form and that all registered users are above the age you want.

I’m working on V2 this week that will be addressing some of these requests, or at least laying the ground work to be able to extend the plugin itself to work with others, so if there’s a particular registration form you’re using, let me know.

Thanks
Phil

Like I said before @philsbury, I use BuddyPress for my website’s registration form. I always use the Date field for the Birthday/Birthdate question.

@philsbury, we’re using WooCommerce for our customer registration needs, no other plugin/interface for registering users.

Exciting to hear about V2! If there are ways I can help/support you, let me know! This would benefit us greatly, and is an urgent need for sales of certain products in California.

I looked for a Pro/Paid version of Age Gate, but didn’t see any… happy to support you that way if that’s an option.
