Managing E-Cards

An e-Card is a gift certificate, containing an image. To see the list of available e-Cards go to 'Gift certificate e-Cards' section of the 'Management' menu.

To set up a new e-Card click 'Add new e-Card'.

1. Select an e-Card thumbnail which is shown in the e-Cards list.

2. Select an e-Card image which is included in the e-mail containing gift certificate.

For these two options an 'Upload to filesystem' check box is available. Select it to save the image files on the file system and leave empty for the images to be stored in the database.

3. Select one of the existing e-Card templates or create a new template.

By default there are two templates: ‘center_image’ (the image is centered and the GC info is under it) and ‘left_image’ (the image is located to the left from the message body). Both templates are surrounded with image borders. To create a new template, click the 'Create template' link. A new .tpl file will be created under the skins/mail/en/modules/Gift Certificates/ecards directory.

To create a new border image, create two files: bordername.gif and bordername_bottom.gif under the skins/mail/en/modules/Gift Certificates/ecards/border directory, where 'bordername' is a valid file name. If a gift certificate does not contain an e-Card, the skins/mail/en/modules/Gift Certificates/body.tpl mail template is used.

4. Enter the position number to define the position of the e-Card in the list of e-Cards.

5. Leave the 'Show in the customer zone' check box empty to keep the e-Card invisible for the customers.

Click on the 'Edit' link next to the e-Card's name to change the e-Card's properties. Click 'Delete' to delete the e-Card.
