Hi Judy, I need your help please. I installed the ecard from Father Barry's site (latest v) and followed what few instructions I could find to the letter but (always a but, right?) I'm having trouble with it. I set up everything in all of the ecard admin options and I can preview the cards but when I send them and receive them there is nothing in the subject or message body. (BLANK) I left the messages and short codes as they were, could that be my problem? Could you help me out? Your site is the only one I've found where ecards actually works. I left a post on Father Barry's site but have not gotten a response. Clueless in Georgia Jeff American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God
Hi, I had many problums with this e-card thing and when I was finally able to figuer out how to even install it I then realized I had to chimod all folders to 777. I did not change any of the short codes. I will go in to my settings and try to copy my figuerations so you can see what I have done. I think I may have just got lucky.

I sure hope this helps if not tell me more so I can try to help you Judypie
Thanks Judy for your help but it still will not work. I can build the card, preview it and even send it but it arrives with NO subject or message body. I sent you a PM with instructions for further assistance. Thanks Jeff American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God
Could you tell me what type of server this site is on also the php and MySQL versions this server uses? I did as you suggested and set the chmodds to 777 on the files but in Father Barry's readme he said 755.
And yes I use a FTP program, I seldom use the upload thru the e107. If you don't mind letting me know about your server set up. I have a very strong idea it could be in my server settings somehow. After we compare servers and if they are similar then I will upload your files into my folders. thanks jeff American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God
That info is listed in the left column of your website admin section under site info. I am using e107 version 0.7.11 and my website is on an apache server using PHP version 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.51a-log. American by Birth, Southern by the Grace of God
