Ignition Crowdfunding v0.7.0

This release wires the free Better Sharing plugin into Ignition Crowdfunding, giving creators and backers a share widget on every meaningful surface. New accounts now go through an activation-link verification flow, and guest backers can claim their account from the pledge confirmation email to set a password and unlock their pledge history.

  • Better Sharing integration — A new Sharing tab under Ignition > Settings turns share buttons on per location: campaign sidebar (active and preview), the post-pledge confirmation page, the backer’s pledge detail view, and the creator’s dashboard campaign detail view (active and preview). The settings tab includes an install/activate panel when Better Sharing is not yet available, and per-location deep-links to the block layout and the email template Better Sharing uses for “Share via email.” See Sharing.
  • Campaign tokens in share templates — Better Sharing templates used by Ignition can substitute {{ campaign_url }}, {{ campaign_title }}, {{ campaign_goal }}, {{ campaign_raised }}, {{ campaign_percent_funded }}, {{ campaign_backer_count }}, {{ campaign_description_excerpt }}, {{ campaign_image }}, and {{ site_name }}. See Sharing — Tokens.
  • Email verification for new accounts — Users who register through the auth form receive a “Verify your email” activation link and must verify before logging in again. The login form, dashboard, and verification page all surface a Resend verification email action when the link expires. See Email Verification.
  • Guest account claim — Pledge confirmation emails sent to guest backers include a Claim my account call to action. Guests can also request a fresh claim link from the auth form. Setting a password through the activation link upgrades the account, removes the Guest marker, and logs the user in. See Email Verification — Guest account claim.
  • Daily cleanup for unverified accounts — A new daily cron job removes pending-verification users that have no pledges after 30 days. Accounts with pledges are never removed by this job.
  • New action hooks — igcf_email_verified, igcf_account_claimed, igcf_unverified_user_deleted, igcf_sharing_pledge_detail, and igcf_sharing_campaign_detail. See Actions reference.
  • New filter hooks — igcf_better_sharing_is_installed and igcf_better_sharing_is_active for overriding install/active detection in the Sharing settings panel. See Filters reference.
  • New scheduled event — igcf_verification_cleanup runs daily and fires igcf_unverified_user_deleted before each deletion. See Scheduled events.
