Hello,
We might be interested in using this module with Decidim instances in 0.26 and maybe higher.
Do you plan to bump it or is not maintained anymore ?
Do you want to add it to Decidim ICE ?
Thanks

Currently, the module enables anonymous proposals by default on all proposal components (at least when the module is added to a platform)

Task: Change the default setting so that anonymous proposals are not activated by default.

This new improvement is designed to extend the functionality of the existing Decidim Anonymous Proposals module. It allows users to create proposals anonymously, and then either keep them anonymous or assign them to an account after they have been created.

User flow:

1. the user comes on the platform
2. they fill in the proposal form and submit the proposal
3. a modal appears suggesting them to create an account to assign the proposal to it
4. the user can choose to assign it to an account or not

• if they choose to assign it, then the proposal author becomes the user after they authenticated
• if they choose not to sign in, the proposal remains anonymous

Administration

• Administrators can enable or disable the module for each proposals component individually.
• Once enabled, anonymous proposals with assignment option are available by default on all proposal components.
• Administrators can also configure additional settings related to anonymous proposals, such as whether to allow users to assign anonymous proposals to their accounts after creation.

Benefits

• Enhances user privacy by allowing users to create proposals anonymously.
• Improves user flexibility by giving users the option to assign anonymous proposals to an account after creation.
• Streamlines the proposal creation process by allowing users to create proposals without having to sign in first.
• Enables administrators to manage and customize the handling of anonymous proposals.

Future Scope

• Enhance the module to support additional types of user contributions, such as comments and endorsements.
• Integrate the module with other Decidim modules and components to provide a seamless user experience.

The module currently supports up to Decidim 0.27 and needs an upgrade for compatibility with Decidim 0.28.

Hi,

I tried to test your module but I can't even load the index page of a Proposals module. Is it because I haven't set any group to be used as author?

This is the stacktrace:

ActionView::Template::Error (no implicit conversion of Hash into String):
    1: <% unless user_signed_in? %>
    2:   <%= cell(
    3:             "decidim/announcement",
    4:             announcement: { I18n.locale => t(
    5:               ".text_html",

The problem is located at line 2 in this file.

We have a use case where we'd like to be able to configure on each proposals component, whether anonymous proposals are allowed or not.
Would you accept a PR that implements that feature? I have some time available to implement this.

We should make sure that the module is compatible with two modules that also work with the proposal creation form:
1. Simple proposals

• What the module does: Decidim module that makes the proposal submission process simpler and adds more configuration options to the process.
• Github link: https://github.com/mainio/decidim-module-simple_proposal

2. Custom (+private) proposal fields - Decidim Awesome

• What the module does: Adds custom fields to the proposal. In the case of this specific branch, it even adds the possibility to have private proposal fields.
• Github link: https://github.com/octree-gva/decidim-module-decidim_awesome/tree/feat/awesome_decidim_private_fields

Objective: Allow connected users to preserve their anonimity.

For connected users: Allow them to choose to submit their proposal as an anonymous user. This might be done where traditionally you can select to submit the proposal as a group.

I'm facing this error when I run bundle:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "decidim-core":

    decidim-anonymous_proposals was resolved to 0.1, which depends on

Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

I have tried bundle update with no avail.

Description:
Currently, when a user who is not signed in starts creating an anonymous proposal, they see a top banner prompting them to sign up or sign in. The expected behavior is that, after signing up or logging in, the user should be automatically redirected back to the proposal creation form they were working on. This ensures a seamless and user-friendly experience, preventing loss of progress and encouraging user engagement.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Visit the website as a non-signed-in user.
2. Begin creating a proposal anonymously.
3. Click on the sign-up/sign-in prompt in the top banner.
4. Complete the sign-up or sign-in process.

Expected Result:
After sign-up/sign-in, the user is redirected back to the proposal creation form with any entered data retained.
