The plugin automates the entire process from application to review submission, making it easy to manage reviewer teams and track compliance. #### Key Features * **Campaign Management**: Create and manage multiple ARC campaigns with custom post types * **Secure File Delivery**: Protected downloads with unique tokens and watermarking support * **Reputation System**: Track reviewer performance with automated reputation scoring * **Application System**: Allow reviewers to apply for campaigns with social media verification * **Review Tracking**: Monitor review submissions across multiple platforms (Amazon, Goodreads, etc.) * **Embargo System**: Prevent reviews before launch date * **Automated Reminders**: Email reminders for review deadlines (Pro feature) * **Dashboard**: Frontend dashboard for reviewers to manage their ARCs * **CSV Export**: Export applicant data for analysis (Pro feature) * **Manual Reviewer Management**: Add reviewers manually to campaigns (Pro feature) #### Free Version Includes * Campaign creation and management * Secure file downloads (PDF, EPUB, MOBI) * Basic application system with Goodreads verification * Review submission tracking * Reputation score calculation * Frontend reviewer dashboard * Welcome email notifications * Amazon and Goodreads retail links #### Pro Version Features Upgrade to Pro for advanced features including: * Multi-stage email automation ( 4 reminder stages) * Advanced retail links (Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes& Noble, etc.) * Additional social media fields (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)* Manual reviewer addition * CSV export functionality #### How It Works 1. **Create Campaigns**: Set up ARC campaigns with book details, files, and deadlines 2. **Reviewer Applications**: Reviewers apply through the frontend with their Goodreads profile 3. **Approval Process**: Approve or reject applicants based on reputation scores 4. **Secure Downloads**: Approved reviewers receive unique download links 5. **Review Tracking**: Reviewers submit their review URLs which are tracked automatically 6. **Compliance Monitoring**: Monitor review submission rates and deadline compliance #### Reputation System The plugin calculates reviewer reputation based on review submission rate: * ** Super Fan**: 90-100% submission rate * **Reliable Reviewer**: 70-89% submission rate * **Good Reviewer**: 50-69% submission rate * **Average Reviewer**: 30-49% submission rate * **Bad User**: 1-29% submission rate * **New User**: 0% (no reviews yet) #### Security Features * Unique download tokens for each user * User permission verification * Nonce protection on all forms * Input sanitization and validation * Direct file access prevention * Watermarking support for PDF files #### Developer Friendly The plugin includes extensive action hooks and filters for customization: * `rs_arc_user_approved`– Fired when user is approved * `rs_arc_review_submitted` – Fired when review is submitted*` rs_arc_reminder_sent` – Fired when reminder email is sent * `rs_arc_deadline_missed`– Fired when deadline is missed * `rs_arc_file_downloaded` – Fired when file is downloaded ### 1.0.1 * Fixed issue with Pro badge display * Fixed issue with CSV export button display * Fixed issue with social media field display * Basic email notifications #### 1.0.2 * Security: Added strict nonce verification for secure file download requests to prevent unauthorized access[cite: 733, 734]. * Security: Implemented early data sanitization (`sanitize_text_field`, `wp_unslash`, etc.) for all `$_POST`, `$_GET`, and `$_REQUEST` inputs[cite: 733]. * Security: Applied late escaping (`esc_html`, `esc_attr`, `wp_kses_post`, `esc_html_e`, etc.) to all output variables, options, and translation strings to prevent XSS vulnerabilities. * Security: Stopped processing the entire `$_POST` stack directly; the plugin now only processes specific required fields. * Changed: Updated generic JavaScript object names (e.g., renamed to `rs_arc_manager_admin_vars` and `rs_arc_manager_public_vars`) to avoid conflicts with other plugins or themes[ cite: 261, 809]. * Fixed: Removed non-compliant trialware/license checking functions and replaced them with standard class existence checks (`class_exists`) for premium features to fully comply with WordPress.org guidelines[cite: 832]. * Tweak: Overall code optimization and formatting improvements for better performance and stability. #### 1.0.3 * Security Fix: Added missing nonce validations across all form submissions, AJAX handlers, and input calls to prevent CSRF vulnerabilities. * Security Fix: Implemented strict user capability (current_user_can) and user ID verification for the secure file downloading process to prevent unauthorized access. * Security Fix: Applied late escaping (esc_html, esc_url, esc_attr, wp_kses_post, etc.) to all echoed variables, options, and generated data to strictly prevent XSS vulnerabilities. * Compliance Update: Completely removed all trialware, license checks, and locked“ Pro” features from the free version codebase to fully comply with WordPress.org Plugin Directory guidelines. * Update: Cleaned up the settings and campaign dashboard by removing premium-only fields, up-sell banners, and restricted UI elements. ### Development The plugin is actively maintained and regularly updated.
