Yes I appreciate it is a styling issue but am assuming the plugin includes styling control. What does email-css.css.control? I know my wordpress [theme] css and what that controls but the object in question is the email sent by the plugin, which is not native to wordpress or my theme.

In the template editor for the email I can add inline styles there successfuly but they apply to the entire block not what’s within the block.

<p style = “margin-bottom:20px;”>.
%EMAIL_POST_TITLE%
</p>

This will work. But if the style is defined in external {ie theme css) it will not eg

<p class=”wp-email-post-title”>
%EMAIL_POST_TITLE%
</p>

My questions……..

1. Does the variable %EMAIL_POST_CONTENT% include the html tags of the post ie …….

<p>This is my post first paragraph.</p>
<p>This is my post second paragraph </p>

or have they been stripped ie……….

This is my post first paragraph
This is my post second paragraph

2. If a css style is declared in email-css.css will this be applied to the email post content eg

#wpmail {}
#wpmail p {margin-bottom: 20px;}

Then in the template editor……

<div id=”wpmail”>
%EMAIL_POST_CONTENT%
</div>

Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately I am unable to provide you with site link. The theme is twentyten which I have heavily modified. The post has paragrephs within <p> tags and displays correctly on screen. But in the email there is no margin between paragraphs so it would look like this.

This is my first paragraph. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
This is then my second paragraph which has a line break but no margin whatsoever.

The question is how can I style what is contained within the %. I need to somehow set a margin for the <p> tags. It seems to me the plugin is stripping tags and treating the post as if plain text replacing <p> tags with simply a line break.

Perhaps you can tell me what should happen. How could one increase paragraph margin for post content in the email or should the style be the same as on screen. Surely it is possible for you to tell me the plugin behavior ie what should happen. Is there a link to a demo page so I can see the plugin working normally with paragraph margins.

I’m using twentyten theme which should be a very common one.

I just downloaded and installed latest version. Works a treat. I have board size 800px with image physical size 500px and stretch to fit disabled. Not sure what I did wrong before but alls well that ends well and now there is space to spread out the pieces withou them overlapping.

The only suggestion i would make is to edit the settings screen to make clear to dumbos like me that size refers to the board play area not image.

I particularly like the way that if pieces fit they snap in and if not a red line appears indicating mismatch.

Once again many thanks for this plugin. It gets top rating from me, which is something since I am one of the hardest critics to please.

Thanks for the reply.

1. Yes thats an improvement thank you.

2. For me number 1 solves my problem but I suggest you move the buttons [+logo] outside of the play area div. FYI – I hope to use the jigsaw like a member quiz…… who is this member.. that’s why I dont want preview or gallery,

3. I understand. 640×440 is not big in an age of bid wide 1000px + screens especially if there are many pieces. I dont mind getting my hands dirty so would change these size variables in the code. Perhaps you can tell me where they are.

If you are looking to improve and upgrade, the feature I would like is for users to be able to upload a picture, enter some intro text and then be able to send the jigsaw link. Its doable in round about way as it stands I think but could be simplified somehow.

I have the same problem and am equally amazed there is no solution posted.

I have the same problem and question. Tarek, I think you have misunderstood. I want to show custom fields in the add/edit pages BUT I dont want the custom field data to be added to the post content or exerpt.

At the moment the custom field data is appended at the end of the post as if part of the post content. There is no checkbox in options asking if custom field data should be appended to post content.

I have a custom field called Subitle. I add the custom field. I enter a value and post. Then on the post it shows the field data as list below post body. It is in my exerpt but perhaps because short test posts. I look at the post in Dashoboard and the field data not shown in my custom field.

PHP4? I have PHP5 and MYSQL4. WordPress requires MYSQL 5. Did I not say MYSQL in my post?

Yes I would not expect anybody to spend time debugging a problem that has been resolved in a later release but I would expect people to remember there had been a problem and the solution or consider that an unresolved problem from previous release may still be present in current version. Knowledge is an accumulation, it is not lost as time and technology improves. The horse has been replaced by the car but we still know how to replace a horseshoe.

I just find it hard to believe that with all the 3.1.4 users but a year or so ago I am the only person in the world who has encountered this problem. I suspect not everybody has upgraded and there must be man 3.1 users out there.

Yes I would not be shocked to find out there are host limitations stopping multisite but should not the WordPress requirements specify what is needed. I will contact my host to ensure they provide what is required as per 3.1.4 documented specifications. But the bottom line remains the same. If you do not have latest version then support or assistance is most likely not available.

That’s not really an answer is it. Are you saying multi-site not possible with 3.1.4 version or are you saying it is but you won’t give help or support for it.

The problem with upgrading is highigh versions requites MYSQL 5 not 4. My host does not currently provide version 5 so what you are in effect saying is I must change host to have wpmu.

You probably sorted it by now but this is how I got the list sorted A-Z. In wpuf-dashboard.php search for the comment //get the posts then edit the code after so it looks like this.

$sql = “SELECT ID, post_title, post_name, post_status, post_date “
. “FROM $wpdb->posts “
. “WHERE post_author = $userdata->ID AND post_type = ‘post’ “
. “AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘pending’ OR post_status = ‘draft’) “
. “ORDER BY post_title ASC”;

The ORDER BY statement controls the sort order.

I had the same problem. Seems strage the text is below the form when normally form explanation and introduction comes before.

I got around it by hardcoding my text into wpuf-add-post.php at the appropriate place. It works okay though is a pain to edit.Fortunately it should not need frequent editing since standard text.

I’m struggling to add custom fields (amongst other things). I notice evalulu’s post with screnshots to his admin page. I dont have that screen with custom fields, payment options and all the other settings. Where is it?

I have similar problem. I am trying to add field for Post Excerpt (surprised that is not there already) as well as custom fields. I add the fields but cannot retrieve them or display in Edit post.

AND… I have no idea how to upload images or display wysiwyg editor.

Is there a tutorial or FAQ on these points?

(sorry if I hijacked your post Darangen but it seems related – ie – how to add custom fields)
