Linking from other pages
|
Useful notes if you want create custom link from other pages.
1 - <a href="create.php?f=pic001.jpg"><img src="images/thm_pic001.gif"></a>
You can use JPEG, GIF and Flash file.
2 - <a href="create.php?f=SomeSubDir/pic002.jpg"><img src="images/SomeSubDir/thm_pic002.gif"></a>
Tip: use sub directory structury to organize your pictures image.
3 - <a href="create.php?f=demoflash.swf"><img src="images/thm_demoflash.gif"></a>
This is a example of flash animation file.
4 - <a href="create.php?f=pic001.jpg&template=demo"><img src="images/thm_pic001.gif"></a>
If you want use your own generic template add "&template=yourtemplatename";
Note: the demo template is placed in /template/ directory with name "demo.ihtml". The file name extension .ihtml is obligatory.
5 - <a href="create.php?template=friends"><img src="images/friends/thm_friends.gif"></a>
If you like create special postcards that have many images, texts messages and sound already included in a postcard (You can find this kind of postcard at BlueMountain). You need use Special templates but some options ( title, signature, font face/size/color, back ground music and stamp) are disable in this template mode.

Fit web site design
|
The basic customization of vCard design is FIT vCard with your web site layout.
Edit the topper and bottom content to match vCard design with your site.
- metatag.inc
It's responsable of content that will be included between <HEAD> and </HEAD> tag.
What you can include in this file:
- Meta tags <meta>
- Style <style>
- script <script>
META TAGS
Do you like use Extra meta tags?
<meta name="Author" content="Belchior Foundry">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
<meta name="robots" content="nofollow">
<meta name="robots" content="none">
<meta name="Description" content="Your site description here">
<meta name="Keywords" content="keywords,keyword2,key3,key4">
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="Wed, 26 Feb 1999 08:21:57 GMT">
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
<meta http-equiv="Window-target" content="_top">
Note: The Language Char Set meta tag is included in language lib file.

CASCATE STYLE SHEET - CSS
If you like include your OWN STYLE tag here too.
EX.:
<STYLE>
body {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: none}
input {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px}
select {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px}
table {font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: #666666}
</STYLE>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="postcard.css" type="text/css">
SCRIPT
If you want include some javascript code, that's the place for it.
EX.:
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function yourfunc(){ }
//-->
</script>
- header.inc
The content will be placed after <body> tag
ATTENTION: YOU CAN'T INCLUDE BODY TAG 'cause this tag is used by vCard Lite to include a backgroud image.
You can edit the body tag attributes in 'config.inc.php' file.
It's a commom mistake include <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE> tags here.
Pay attention!!! You can't include here because it's won't work.
If you want include <meta> <style> <javascript> tags between <HEAD> </HEAD> edit 'metatag.inc.php' file
- footer.inc
This file will be placed after all content.

Translation to other languages
|
- If you will translate the vCard to other language like:
korean, chinese, japanese, cyrillic, turkish, greek etc
- You'll need edit the important HTML code in language lib file:
// Language ISO Char Set code (Western)
$CharSet = "iso-8859-1";
Tthese languages use different character set to be able see the greeting cards in browser.
Ex.
- Russian
$CharSet = "windows-1251";
- Japanese
$CharSet = "Shift_JIS";
- Chinese
$CharSet = "gb2312";
- Korean
$CharSet = "EUC-KR";
- Cyrillic
$CharSet = "KOI8-R";
- Greek
$CharSet = "iso-8859-7";
- Arabic
$CharSet = "windows-1256";
- And edit list of Font Faces in your Admin Control Painel
Notes:
- If you will insert pattern name, music names in your own tongue YOU MUST SET in Control Panel's options section:
Special Language = Yes
The reason is because the MySQL don't support some languages. I use in this script MySQL command to order pattern/music/background options by name.
So if MySQL don't understand how order your alphabet it'll give an error.
Example: Arabic
Special Language = Yes
- The pattern and music list will be order by file name.
- If you want a special order of name in scroll list, rename the files to coincide the order of files with names!
