Dooodl

Description

Dooodl is a fun plugin for your blog that allows your visitors to draw a little doodle and save it to your site. It’s a bit like a guestbook but less boring and more visual, aka more fun!

Show the doodles in a widget, with a shortcode, or use any plugin that allows you to show a grid/list of a custom post type. If you do this look for the custom post type, dooodl.

Installation

1. Make sure to first backup your database
2. Upload the Dooodl folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Add the ‘Dooodl’ widget to your sidebar or use the shortcodes to embed the creator/gallery in a page or post of your liking
5. You’re set!

FAQ

My WordPress Theme doesn’t support widgets. Can I still use this plugin?

Yes you can! At least if you’re ok with opening up some of your theme files and adding a bit of code to where you want the widget to appear. Adding the following where you want the Dooodl-widget to appear should get you going: if (function_exists("Dooodl_widget")) Dooodl_widget();

Or, use a shortcode that comes with the plugin. You’ll find them in the settings. Alternatively, use any plugin that lets you show custom post types.

Dooodl is not compatible on touch screen devices at this time due to scrolling issues. A fix should come in a future version.

fatal error

I was excited to use this, but, after installing, it would not activate. Wordpress gave a warning that it could not be activated as it caused a ‘fatal error’.

Error, can not active

Use it on a website for children and they love. Wish it could have been developed further with slightly higher resolution and more tools.
