## FAQ

### How can I see who is subscribed for what?

Subscriptions are stored in the database and are not directly accessible via an 
interface.

If enabled via the plugin settings page, **a log file will be kept** with all user
and mail actions. This log is kept within the plugins directory on your server (`/
wp-content/plugins/th23-subscribe`) and named `log.csv` (for easier readability 
use eg Microsoft Excel to open it).

The file contains the following columns:
 * User ID * User login * User mail * Action*
Content (post/ comment ID) * Timestamp (machine readable) * Date/ Time (human readable)*
IP address

The file is protected from access via the browser by an htaccess rule from the public–
you can simply access it via FTP, while it will be hidden from everybody else!

### How can I input field placeholder instead of labels for the visitor form?

The plugin **provides both description options** for the input fields and adds them
to the HTML output.

You can simply use CSS eg via your theme to show placeholders instead of the labels
by adding the following:

    ```
    /* widget and overlay: th23 Subscribe - form label/ placeholder */
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form label[for^="th23_subscribe_mail"],
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form label[for^="th23_subscribe_name"] {
        display: none;
    }
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form input::placeholder {
        opacity: 1;
    }
    ```

### How can I (initially) hide the name and terms field for visitors?

This is best achieved with a combination of **added CSS and JS to your theme**, 
assuming that jQuery is available (WP default). By using the following example code
the fields will “slide down” upon a user focusing on the e-mail field.

CSS:

    ```
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form .th23-subscribe-name,
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form .th23-subscribe-terms {
        display: block;
        visibility: hidden;
        opacity: 0;
        max-height: 0;
        transition: max-height .5s, visibility .3s, opacity .3s;
    }
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form .th23-subscribe-name.show,
    .th23-subscribe-visitor-form .th23-subscribe-terms.show {
        visibility: visible;
        opacity: 1;
        max-height: 200px;
    }
    ```

JS:

    ```
    $('input[name^="th23_subscribe_mail"').focus(function(){
        $(this).closest('form').find('.th23-subscribe-name, .th23-subscribe-terms').addClass('show');
    });
    ```
