Hi. I really like this extension. It works out of the box, the documentation is good, and it adds a lot to my site.
After spending some time with it, I have some suggestions:
1. Number Conventions (1): In the United States, we use a different numbering convention than in some other countries. For example, we separate dollars from cents with a period (.), like this: $1,000.00. In some countries, they use a comma (,) not to separate the thousands from the hundreds, but as we Americans use the period. When I set up my test campaign, I entered: "20,000". After saving, it was displayed as "$20.00". I think this formatting is going to throw off some of my countrymen as it did me. May I suggest for a future release incorporating a number formatting option to accommodate these differences?
2. Number Conventions (2): In the same area, the campaign goals do not use a comma to separate the thousands from the hundreds. (E.g.: $20000 rather than $20,000). May I suggest this be a part of the number formatting options discussed above?
3. List of Cities:The list of cities from which to chose when creating a campaign is not complete. I noted in California (USA), many smaller cities are not included. I understand why--the list would be very, very large. May I suggest leaving this field blank so that people can enter the correct city? Currently, we are forced to select one of the options, which if not accurate will cause confusion with campaign supporters.
4. Pay Now button: When clicking on the Pay Now button, the user is taken to the Paypal (or other processor) website in the same browser window. My preference is for a new window to open so the window on my site remains open and active.
5. Copy Feature: It would be a time-saver if one could copy and then edit previous campaigns.
6. Automatic Repeat Donations: My site's users would love a feature where their supporters could sign up for repeated, periodic donations. I understand Paypal has this capability and I'd love to see it reflected in jGive. This feature should allow donors to select the amount and period (e.g., $50.00 per month), the duration (e.g. 12 months, or until the supporter changes his preference), and the ability for the supporter to cancel the on-going contribution, perhaps with a link in a confirmation email.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
