Suggestions for the plugin

Hi,

First of all, good job on the plugin, it looks great.

However, I do have some suggestions. I know you worked hard to get to this point, but the freemium aspect rubs me the wrong way. As of now, unless I’m missing something, there’s no way to test any of the APIs without investing in some tokens. I think you should include some so we get an idea of how Geek! fetches data. It’s also a better strategy if you want people to pay for this feature.

There are criticial issues when manually adding Games too (haven’t tried other post types yet):

If you enter only the Title, you get the following error (with bad localization): ‘You have to enter a making year for the game’. I assumed this meant a release date, so I went ahead and added one, to no avail. Because it was actually for the Year: field, which isn’t clear at all. Like, why do you have both a Release Date and Year? Then, you need to add a Cover, which is not always available with newly announced games.

When I completed the requirements, the save function bugged (infinite loading). Right now I’d say this feature is broken (edit: tried with Movies and it worked, so this might be limited to Games).

• You should mark required fields with an asterisk (*)

Something else I noticed: image uploads get weird syntax, e.g. geek-4e036af6-01c1-4de8-bd8a-c2d1bcf7198d. I’d rather see title-cover or something a bit more readable for search engines.

Thanks!
