Postcard Direct Examples

This page is intended to show you a range of different ways you can use PD and give you ideas of how you can use it on your site.

If you have installed PD in non-default locations, or you have renamed the scripts, you will need to update all the links for these examples to work.

Example One	This example uses a simple thumbnail image, with the postcard using the full sized image. This is the most common way of using PD. If no form is specified in the link, the default form is used.
Example Two	This example is the same as Example One, but using the form-basic.html form template. The basic template has the options for music and postcard designs removed.
Example Three	This example is same as Example One, but using the form-side.html form template. The default form template has the form below the image. The form-side.html form template has the form to the side of the image.
Example Four	This example is same as Example One, but using the form-bcc.html form template. This form has an additional field to allow the selection of a bcc option for multiple recipients.
Example Five	This example is same as Example One, but using the form-traditional.html form template. This form uses a hidden field to select the sending mode as "traditional". Note that this option can be set globally in the configuration file.
Example Six	This example is same as Example One, but using the form-fields.html form template. This template shows an example of using additional fields.
Example Seven	This example is similar to example six, but using the form-colours.html form template. This template shows an example of allowing a user to set the background and text colour.
Example Eight	This example uses the form-date.html form template. This template allows a user to send the card at a later date.

Some people prefer to allow users to select their image with radio buttons. This involves using a form to call /postcard/pd/pd.cgi

If the image uploads have been enabled, the form is invoked with the URL /postcard/pd/pd.cgi?upload=yes
