WebCards Manual

Card Settings

The following imge shows the General Settings page.

Maximum number of recipients for each card

This allows the user to send the same WebCard to multiple recipients. There is no limit to how high you can set this value, but for every recipient, one email is sent, so don't make this value too high.

How long until cards expire

30 days is a recommended figure but you can adjust it to suit your space limitations. Note that WebCards are deleted completely when they expire so don't mess around with this too often. Beware that if you change the setting to 1 second and then run the card expirer all the cards will be deleted. Set this value and then leave it.

Maximum message length (in characters) when composing card

You can set how long the message on a WebCard can be if to reflect your space limitations. Leave this blank to not impose a limit on your users but remember that if you do that your users literally can make the message as long as they want.

Allow users to re-request pickup codes

If a user deletes an email that gives them the code to pickup their WebCard they can request to receive a reminder if you set this option to "yes". If you have high email traffic you should consider setting this to "no", but beware that this will inconvenience your users.

Allow users to receive notification when cards are picked up

If you set this to "yes" a box will appear at the bottom of the compose WebCard page. The sender then has the option to receive an email notification when their WebCard is picked up. You should set this to "no" if you have high email traffic and emails are being delayed.

Allow users to send their cards at a future date

If you set this to "yes" the user will be able to choose a date to send their WebCard on. Ensure you run the delay_send.php file regularly. To set it to run via cron see the instruction later in this manual.

List font names, colours etc.

The following options allow you to list the colours and fonts that the users can use to compose their WebCard. The option you put on the top line will be the default choice. All spellings must be html compliant.
