No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/georgestephanis/secret-santa/archive/refs/heads/master.zipReadme
Secret Santa
This is a plugin to run a Holiday Gift Exchange among users of a given blog.
To use, just add a shortcode to your post! [holiday-gift-exchange event="holidays-2017" state="1"]
You can then change the state param to advance the exchange.
State 1: Collection of signups State 2: Signups closed, waiting on assignments State 3: Assignments public, participants can message their senders and recipients, without spoiling who is who. State 4: The big reveal! Participants can see who was sending to them, to send their thanks.
Extensible
We use this internally at Automattic with special filters in place to pre-populate user mailing addresses and whatnot.
We also short-circuit any wp_mail calls in the plugin to message folks via Slack instead (I think, it's been about a year since I looked at that bit of the code)
Building Styles
Until I integrate a build tool, styles can be compiled via:
sass admin-page.scss > admin-page.css
sass gutenblock.scss > gutenblock.css
