We were so close to releasing the module this past weekend but have hit on another roadblock which will prevent us from releasing the module as expected.
As many might be aware from following the module, I have introduced captcha capabilities in the new version which will prevent bots from submitting feedbacks on your site that uses the feedback module.
This captcha feature was taken straight from the core and is basically the same implementation as what the core has done when you sign in or register to create an account on a dnn site.
What is happening with the feedback module is that when the captcha capabilities are turned on with a child portal, it is automatically logging the user out of the website (even if he/she is logged in). The only user that does not see this problem is the Host account. This obviously is a problem for the module in general and I am trying today to determine the root cause for this occuring.
With working with other team members/core members, I was also informed that captcha is also having similar problems on child portals so I'm not 100% positive that the problem lies with the feedback module as per say or whether it's part of a core issue.
Needless to say, this will hold back the release of the feedback module till we can determine a suitable fix.
In the mean time, I was also given the permission to get some beta testers the current build as we have it in the hopes that we can a) figure out what's going on and b) determine if there's any other bugs that need to be fixed.
I am looking for at least 3 beta testers and already have 2 signed up (Tobias and Peter). If there is anyone else interested in beta testing the module, please drop me a note at smehrotra_AT_webacuity.com and I'll get you a copy of the module ASAP.
