Preview of the e-card

[jmt75]

I didn't see how to preview the e-card that you are preparing to send. It is frustrating.

Is it a forgotten feature; or I did understand anything?

There is no preview. If you want to see how an ecard will look, you can send one to yourself.

So bad. I think it is not logical. If the idea is to send a beautiful card to somebody, it is logical to want to see the result before to send it.

Did you see, there is a preview of the message in this forum

I'll bring this up in the dev board. I'll look into the code to see how to show the preview when confirming that the ecard was sent. However using a preview while editing will be more complex, I think.

OK, I figured out how to show a preview of the ecard when the confirmation shows up. However, I'm not skilled enough to do the preview-while-editing, but this is a start. It's not what you want but maybe someone else can make use of this.

You will edit the file ecard.php

Look for:

Code Select Expand

    if ($result) {
        pageheader($lang_ecard_php['title'], "<META http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"3;url=displayimage.php?album=$album&pos=$pos\">");
        msg_box($lang_cpg_die[INFORMATION], $lang_ecard_php['send_success'], $lang_continue, "displayimage.php?album=$album&pos=$pos");

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

    if ($result) {
        pageheader($lang_ecard_php['title']);
        msg_box($lang_cpg_die[INFORMATION], $lang_ecard_php['send_success'], $lang_continue, "displayimage.php?album=$album&pos=$pos");
        echo '<br />';
        starttable('100%', "Preview of the ecard");
        echo '<tr><td>';
        echo template_eval($template_ecard, $params);
        echo '</td></tr>';
        endtable();

Here is a mod that will let you preview and edit the ecard before sending.
