Module Description
PostCard allows a
user to send a postcard, by email. The cards are sent to a server (a
PostCardServer module), and then, are mailed to the addressee.
To work correctly, a
PostCardServer must be opened somewhere, and you have to know its IP and
communication port.

The
« server connex. » state flag is « OK » if the card has
been correctly send to the PostCardServer button. It writes “ERROR” if not
(wrong ip, or wrong port, or server down, for example…)
The
« mail send » state flag takes the value from the Mail module event.
The Mail module returns an event, after having send a mail, to tell you if it
has been done correctly. Be aware that it does’nt tell you that your
correspondent has received your card. It’s just about the connexion to the
mails server.
Réalisation des modèles de cartes postales
PostCard models are HTML
files. They have to contain 3 specific flags :
·
< !--POSTCARD_MODEL TITLE--> : title of the model. This title must
be written in a HTML comment, on the line below.
·
< !--POSTCARD_MODEL DESCR--> : description of the model. It must be
written in a HTML comment, on the line below.
·
< !--POSTCARD_MODEL MESSAGEBODY--> : tells PostCardServer to insert the
message that the user want to add to the card.
·
Basic
example :
<html>
<!--POSTCARD_MODEL TITLE--> è title flag
<!--TestModel01-->
< ! --POSTCARD_MODEL DESCR--> è description flag
< ! --voici la description du modeltest 01-->
<H1>POSTCARD MODEL
01</H1> è content of the model
<img
src=’img1.jpg’></BR>
<!--POSTCARD_MODEL
MESSAGEBODY--> è flag to insert the user message
</html>
·
Images
must be inserted by a <img> HTML tag. The « src » attribute
precises the image filename. That filename must be written in quotes, in order
to be correctly parsed. Actually, all the images are send to PostCardServer,
with the model of the card.
