📋 What’s New

We’ve completely overhauled the Word Request system. You now have full control over approving, rejecting, and managing word requests from members.

🔍 Duplicate Checking Added

Members can no longer request words that already exist or are already pending review.

What This Prevents

• Already decoded: Prevents requesting words already in the library
• Already pending: Prevents requesting words already submitted (unless rejected or approved)

👥 Admin Approval System

A new Word Requests page has been added to the admin panel, giving you full control over all incoming requests.

📍 Where to Find It

Erectionary → Word Requests (new submenu item)

📋 What You Can Do

• View all pending requests with status, user, points, and date
• Apply bulk actions to multiple requests at once
• Take single actions on individual requests
• Track request status through the full workflow

📊 Status Tracking Workflow

Every word request now follows a clear status path from submission to completion:

⚡ Admin Actions

Bulk Actions

• ✅ Approve — Moves requests to “In Process” and notifies users
• ✅ Complete — Marks as “Approved” and notifies users
• ❌ Reject — Refunds points (full or percentage) and notifies users
• 🗑️ Delete — Permanently removes requests

Single Actions

• 🔓 Decode — Opens the Add Word page with all request data pre-filled
• ✅ Approve — Moves request to “In Process”
• ✅ Complete — Marks as “Approved”
• ❌ Reject — Refunds points (full or percentage)
• 🗑️ Delete — Permanently removes request

📬 Notification System

Users and admins now receive notifications at key points in the request workflow.

🔔 What Gets Sent

• Admin notification — Email sent when a new request is submitted
• User notification — Email sent when status changes (pending → in_process → approved → rejected)
• User inbox message — Message stored in member’s dashboard when request is decoded

📁 Files Updated

🎯 Final Status

⚡ What Still Works

  Please login to request a word decoding.

• ✅ Points are deducted for paid requests
• ✅ Requests are stored in the database with status “pending”
