I have found the same problem as Blackguard but am only finding that it happens when I don't select "notify when my card is picked". This is a problem for users in that they are unlikely to think that such a situation applies to them....so something important happens when that function is selected.

Actually, I do believe that this a bit more complex...The email does not appear to be sent unless you click on 'notify' me and the "copy of your card" email is problematic because the url in the email has admin appended to the end of it. This does not appear to work even if you are logged in to the site at the time you click through from the email...so something about the copy of your email text is problematic too???

i just re read the code i feel it works fine. i will do some testing. or can you give me the url?
please have a look at the database tables, whether the random number generated is correctly adding to the table. whether there is a database named ecard (hope it is there else it will show other errors) also which database you are using mysql ?
also have a look at the ecard setting, the number of days you want to keep your card in the database , is it correct.

Yes, using mysql. No, there are no other problems. As long as you select 'notify me' it generates the email but that email which 'notifies me' has a bum url - which leads to the error message being given when the link in the email is clicked. The message sent to the recipient is fine as it does not contain the 'admin' reference in the url.

Here is something to test http://ecotransit.org.au/ets/image

i send tried to send two cards. first checking notify me checkbox , i got the card in email. clicked link and it show the card and message.
i clicked the link in 'copy of your card' it also works fine.
when i clicked i got the email , 'your ecard has been just picked' , that link also works fine for me.

i tried without checkbox , i got the card in email it works fine showing message and card also i checked copy of the card url it also works fine.
so far everything is working in my gmail account.

"it does not contain the 'admin' reference in the url"
can you check it with a gmail account? there is 'no admin in url', may be the problem is with parsing the url by email client. if thats the error i will make a 'br' tag there , it is '\n' now :) , may be seems wired let us try to figure it out.

Yeah, this does seem to be a problem with the parsing of the message. Gmail is fine with all of the above, but my email client is grouping the admin sign-off with the link to the card giving a bad url. Although it is interesting that the error it throws is that the card doesn't exist rather than the url being bad...ie throwing a page error...

In other news...is there any reason why the 'message' content couldn't be made available for use in the email to the recipient? For campaigning purposes it would be really useful!
