simple, very beautiful but absolutely must grow

    The plugin is simple and it works very well, tested on the latest version of wp. If will be developed a little more, it will become absolutely 4 or 5 stars! In my opinion it lacks:
    1) ability to modify resources in bulk, for example, suspend or delete resources in block
    2) more themes and graphics configurations? But it isn’t necessary …
    3) …

    However, I repeat: beautiful and functional, 3 stars perhaps are few, but I will give 4 if I in the future i will get the chance to make changes to entire resources blocks.

    PS: 3) more elasticity with image..

    EDIT: 06/05/2013
    I had promised, and since I think that the road is the right one, I correct my rating: 4 stars now

    Thanks for the feed back…a few questions:
    1. Perhaps the ability to control resource visibility or even delete entirely based on the chapter or section they are assigned to?
    2. I really like this idea…a major goal for me was to eliminate the need for the user to be a good designer…but having a few other “themes” is a great idea.
    3. ?
    4. can you expand on the idea of more elasticity with the image?

    [little edit: at the moment i’m writing i have not installed last version]

    Ok, i try.
    1) I think it is very easy to assign resources using drag and drops, so it doesn’t need anything, it is not so easy when you have to delete a resource. For example I installed the plugin and created a lot of resources to test it, with various configurations, files, links, videos … Finally I decided to use it and I had to cancel the tests one by one.
    3) … I know that in I had something other to say … oh yeah! enhance the image management (elasticity in the images).
    I Try to expand the third concept: when I assign a picture to a resource tile icafe remembers to me: “You must select a picture with a width of 400px or less”. It will be useful if icafe automatically reduces the image and only if I click the image will be show in real dimension. Other considerations are linked to the point 2, such as “Images should be 180 x 110px “… i think that in different themes we will have different dimension.

    OTHER: It is possible for me to translate it in italian (back to library, Respurce links and something other strings in the backoffice)? What do you think to make it … uhm like “translation ready” in the future?

    Just a final consideration: you create icafe like a online organizer for books (in the menu for admin we have “manage books”), i also find it very helpful to organize projects, documents and various resources. I think your works is very flexible, I renew my GOOD JOB!

    Thanks for the feedback.
    1. I agree…I think there are quite a few places where the admin side can be made easier
    3. The plugin does resize but sometimes the images don’t look as sharp if they are scaled. My intent was to provide the “native” size to the user…I should make the wording more clear.
    Translation…Absolutely! I need to build it into the plugin first…right now it is not possible. I will add this to a future version.

    Thanks for the ideas!
