I have had the ecard module installed on my ecard site (inkburst.com) for about 6 mos. However, it recently stopped working. I'm not sure if it was after a drupal update or not, but when I send a card, everything appears to work normally. I receive a confirmation screen with a copy of the card that is viewable. The problem is that the recipient never receives the card.

I'm using Drupal 6.13. I've tried uninstalling the ecard module and reinstalling, but that hasn't worked. Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks.

Is you site sending mails at all? Do you send mail at account creation for example?

I just tested this, and no, emails are not going out on account creation either. I'm a newbie - what's the first thing I should look at to diagnose the problem?

Thanks so much for your help!

Drupal uses the php function mail() as basic sending method.

Please try out some of the examples and see if your server is capable of sending mails.

http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

This should work with out many problems and than drupal and ecard will be able to send mails.
Otherwise try this module

Kars-T - thanks for your help with this. I looked into the php and tried a restore back to a previous issue. PHP wasn't the problem, but that pointed me toward the hosting and it turns out the issue was with hosting on GoDaddy. I'm not sure exactly what changed on their end, but since the site was always reeeeeally slow on GoDaddy, I switched to A2 Hosting. Since then, the emails are sending and the site is much faster.

Hi ! :)
I'm very new to Drupal. I'm reading a book about this CMS, but I need help understanding how to make my e-cards site.

At the moment I'm using these additional modules:
-Flash Node: to be able to upload my Flash e-cards
-E-cards: to let users send e-cards. In the options I set the content type to "Flash Node".

But now, all the e-cards are displayed in list, like articles in a blog. But I want to list just a preview of every e-card, maybe 3 or 4 per row, and I want the Flash Node to load only when the user clicks on the picture or on the title of the postcard.

I hope you understand what I mean... sorry if it is a stupid question but I'm very new to this CMS.

Thank you in advanced for any answer! :)

Hi, maybe you could use views module to change your view of ecard nodes.
Have look at the project http://puzzlecards.de this sends flash puzzles with the ecard module.
Hope this helps

Edit: Sorry it was .de instead of .com i have changed the link
