I've modified this because I've implemented it in 1.7 and I couldn't delete feedback entries from the admin section. In this file - "\views\default\feedback\listing.php" I changed this:
$controls .= " (<a href=\"{$vars['url']}action/feedback/delete?guid={$vars['entity']->guid}\">" . elgg_echo('delete') . "</a>)";
to this:
$controls .= elgg_view("output/confirmlink",array('href' => $vars['url'] . "action/feedback/delete?guid=" . $vars['entity']->guid, 'text' => elgg_echo('delete'), 'confirm' => elgg_echo('deleteconfirm'),));
There may be other spots where the security isn't ready for 1.7, but I haven't found them yet.

Interesting plugin, though I am having a problem...
I cannot delete feedback once i've reviewed it.
Selecting delete causes:
Form is missing __token or __ts fields
Any ideas?
Also, it messed up my Tinymce. Now if I deactivate feedback my tinymce functions on messages goes too. It seems after I installed this Tinymce options become reliant on it?!

Prashant, do you still maintain this plugin? A compatibility release for Elgg 1.7+ would be nice.

@Darwin: there's a fixed version of this plugin here:
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/release/583311/developer/Simox/site-feedback-form
It's the same plugin but the token mismatch error when deleting feedback entries shouldn't occur anymore with this version.
