V3.7 not working properly

hi Danny,

yes I have this in mind but been a bit busy during the last weeks. I will look after it as soon as I can.

Can tell what email client you used? It works properly with claws mail and thunderbird here.

Thanks for your patience

Hi Hans,

Thank you. I sent the bug email using hotmail/outlook.com

As for sending the e-card I’m using the mailserver that comes with directadmin (localhost is using the live server via smtp). I guess that’s irrelevant, as the problem is with the online e-card. Cardlinks are sent just fine.

FYI:
I also had a look at the database and the card is stored as escaped html (whereas blogposts etc are stored as regular html).

I also sent an email-only e-card, with inline image, and the html displays fine in gmail. Maybe they unescape/decode the html? Otherwise the card-by-email works ok, and the bug is within the online ecard code.

Cheers,
Danny

hey Danny,

I just released v3.8. and hopefully the problem is gone now. It was very interesting to fix it since there was a mixture of inline, embedded and mail client specific “situation”.

I hope its fine now.

Cheers, Hans

Hi Hans,

I tested v3.8 and unfortunately the problem is still there. Also tested on a new wp install with minimal plugins.

As reported by email the card preview works fine, but after sending the ecard it’s not displaying properly on the website. I guess the issue would have to be in the display template or in the way wp-greet processes the cardlink (note that I didn’t modify any template)

I should also add that when sending the card as an email the html output is fine, but smilies seem to be missing (showing red cross in IE). In the online card I see that smiley img code has a slash before the closing tag, which I think is incorrect html? You may want to look into it.

I’m also wondering if anything in the i18n, charset or stuff like that can cause bad output.

Another thought: could it be a server/php problem? (but I reckon then the preview would have the same problem as the online card)

Also tried the ecard demo on your site multiple times, but it’s not sending ecards (I used hotmail and gmail accounts as recipients).

I really appreciate your efforts, and I hope you can fix this issue.

Cheers,
Danny

Hi Danny,

just checked the gamil thing on the demo site. Seems the mails are not accepted by gmail or hotmail. I do not know whats the reason is for this. Maybe the mailserver of my provider is blacklisted or so. But I can confirm wp-greet sends the email. And it works without problems with other email addresses.
So, this is a real server problem and I can not fix it.

…going to test the red cross thing now…

Chaka, got it.
It seems my provider has changed the way to log into the mailserver, when sending mails from php (something with security bla bla).
I changed this now and the demo site sends now mails to gmail and outlook as well. So this was a real server problem. I have had to change the phpmailer-conf.php to be filled with the whole credentials for smtp access.

I can not confirm the red cross problem. In IE8 with Windows XP the smilies and the image are displayed as in Firefox or chrome.

Can you check your outlook settings please.

I found the display problem and I will release a fixed version.
Btw. the /> at the end of the image tag is no error it is valid html.

Thanks for all your hints

Hey you’re welcome. Just giving back a little ??

Are you saying you found a bug in the display of the online card?

As for the smilies in the email-card, I checked that card again and see that the smiley images are not included with the email. They’re fetched from the server, which was impossible for hotmail to get from example.loc at my localhost. Perhaps they can be embedded in the email, but it’s not really an issue.

I hope that your fix will solve the escaped code problem.

Cheers,
Danny

FANTASTIC…. it’s working now in v3.9 ??

I’m curious what the problem was?

Anyway, thanks!!!

Great it works now…as allways it was something really simple a double use of nl2br.
