Well, the two cards I sent to myself on December 12th arrived today. WITH NO CARD attached! Both had an ERROR page instead:

Not Found

The requested URL /home/audentes/public_html/cdt-wp/viewcard/fws5GO was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

There are no settings on the plugin which one can use to set up this missing page!

And no instructions!

No wonder this plugin ends up with a one-star rating. It’s a MESS and it can’t be used, and the author ignores all pleas for help.

I’ve posted a SUGGESTION in the WordPress forums that people like this plugin author should be BARRED for not answering, and for not providing relevant instructions IN ENGLISH. They waste a lot of peoples’ time and effort for nothing.

This guy deserves MINUS stars! Less than zero!

Kathleen Moore,
Like you I am looking for an ecard plug that works. It should display the cards in columns. Thirdly, I want to charge 99cents per ecard mailed.

I am desperate for assistance in making this happen. Let me know if you can help

thanks

I have bad news: the POSTCARDS plugin looks good, but doesn’t work, and the author (Satollo) will not answer posts or email.

I’ve sent myself several cards to different email addresses, they never arrive.

I am sorry to tell you, the test cards never arrived. I sent myself two e-cards from the installed plugin system 4 hours ago, nothing has arrived. So, I’ve just spent hours building a card system that seems not to work.

wp-greet didn’t work for me. IT REQUIRES TWO PLUGINS. I couldn’t get either one to work, never mind get them to work together.

I prefer this Postcards plugin, it just needs a little explanation so people aren’t lost looking for shortcode. I give it 4 stars; you’ll get another half-star when my test card arrives, and another when there’s a postaqe stamp.

Thanks! : )

Hello. I was able to get the postcards to show up. (1) I installed the postcard plugin. (2) I had to make a PAGE, and insert an image gallery into the page, and save the page. The image gallery thumbs all show up on the page with a simple postcard link under each one. You click on that link and a window pops up where you fill out a postcard to send it. Looks quite nice. I will use it this year for Christmas, thank you.

Meanwhile, may I offer two suggestions:

(A) the blank postcard should be larger; I tried to change the width to 800 px in the edit window of the plugin, but it has no effect.

(B) I would really really really like to see a place for a postage stamp! Could just move down the e-card image and insert a field above it with the stamp. What a nice e-card that would be. I have a remotely hosted e-card site at http://joyeuxmontreal.webng.com with a zillion stamps to choose from – I like them even better than the cards.

I would like to use at lease one stamp in wordpress, my choice of size, because sometimes I use a stamp alone, and sometimes a stamp with a cancellation mark, which is bigger than a stamp.

Thank you for the e-card system. Maybe add little explanation so people can figure it out quicker.

P.S. How long does it take a card to arrive? I sent myself two test cards over an hour ago, they haven’t arrived yet.

This is an awesome plugin and reliable. Very easy once you insert the code which takes a moment. Also wonderful because the user doesn’t have to jump through hoops like captcha to send it!

My cards are here, look how simple!

Hi Chitaranjan many thanks for the help but still I can’t get the page working. I think my main problem is that I can’t find the solution how to ATTACH THE IMAGES IN THE POST, while and is quite possible that I’m INSERTING THEM, because I don’t know how to ATTACH THEM. please visit thsi page http://www.albini.net/materdei/?p=810
