Sorry Guys, i think i'm just confused  rolleyes

Was my mistake, 90% all of my mistakes are wrong typing  embarassed

This should be:
Quote
<script type="text/javascript" src=" <?php echo WB_URL;
?>/modules/post_its/js/wz_dragdrop.js"></script>

and this was:
Quote
<script type="text/javascript" src=" <?php echo WB_URL;
?>/modules/post/its/js/wz_dragdrop.js"></script>

i think the other two guys have same mistakes, but wasn't to shy to tell about  grin

Sorry, but on my website no messages are displayed.
Fresh installation on local xammp, wb 2.7 rc 3a
template = allcss
template update with code from the pdf instruction file

result: backend seems to be good, messages could be sent
but no messages were displayed in the frontend,
but the list of unread messages is displayed (if logged in as the sender)

Any idea of what is wrong?

Hello,

without a link to your homepage it is not possible to help. Most likely the error is due to wrong implementation of the required code in the index.php of your template.

Hello,

you do not have an dummy div container in the <body> area which is required to show the Post its. So add the following code to the body area in the index.php file of your template.
Code:
<div id="postits"></div>

Hello,

the module ships with a PDF manual which describes all the required steps to run the module.
In addition the PDF document (page 3) is linked in the WB download area of the addons repository.

All this information are provided in the very first post in this thread.

Post It = klasse Sache

... gibt´s eine Möglichkeit ein PostIt für alle nicht angemeldeten Besucher ( @all ) zu erstellen?

Wäre auch ne schöne Sache um eine besondere Mitteilung / News an den Besucher weiterzugeben...

I have slightly modified the post-it mdule so that the post-its can be send from the frontend of the site

basically what I did was not much more than copying a modify.php and renaming it to view.php

but I do not know how to settle the following:

when a post it is send the succesmessage adapts the layout from the backend, I guess it has to do with the lines at the top of the modify.php

Code:
if (isset($_POST["postit_action"]) && ($_POST["postit_action"] == "create")){
  // include global settings and admin class if page was reloaded from postit formular
  require_once("../../config.php");
  require_once(WB_PATH .'/modules/admin.php');

but I do not have a clue how to make the form action open as 'normal page with the template layout, menu etc

Code:
<form name="postit_form_send" method="post" action=" <?php echo WB_URL ."/modules/post_its/view.php?page_id=$page_id&action=create_postit" ?>">
(line 115)





- - - -

in line 70 I changed the code for the 'back' link to
Code:
   echo "<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"javascript: window.location = '" .WB_URL ."/pages/post-its.php'\" />" .$TEXT['BACK'];

so that works fine now

Good idea, send Post its to all registered users or to a specific group of users

(Gute Idee, interessant wäre vielleicht auch die Möglihckeit, ein Post-It nur an *eine* bestimmte Benutzergruppe zu schicken.)

Hello,

just finished the first release candidate v0.33 RC1 of the updated Postits module.

What is it all about?
The PostIts module allows you to send short messages (PostIts) to certain users or groups. The PostIts will show up in the frontend part of your Website Baker installation, if the specified user is loged in.

This version uses the jQuery framework instead of the Xajax framework as it was before to deal with AJAX calls and to manipulate the DOM (e.g. adding/removing Divs on the fly etc.). Main intention of the update was to play around with jQuery library on a "real" project.

Modifications with respect to previous version:
 + basically the module was re-written from scratch except the CSS stuff which is as in the previous version
 + replaced Xajax with jQuery
 + replaced wz_dragdrop.js with jQueryUI effect library
 + easier integration (only include one file to the head section of your index.php template file to get it work)
 + Postits can be send to multiple users and/or multiple groups at one time
 + integrated template class to seperate HTML and PHP code
 + added help file and removed the outdated PDF
 + re-aranged the database and language file handling
 + code clean-up

Installation:
Sorry, the changes were simply too big to allow for an upgrade script, so you have to delete an existing version of PostIts first, which means all Postits not yet read will get lost.

Step 1: Delete old PostIts module
Remove all old function calls (PHP, Javascript) and HTML elements (Postit divs) from the index.php file of your template. Then uninstall the old PostIt module via the WB backend

Step 2:
Install the new PostIts module via the WB backend. Then add one single line of code to the index.php file of your template (between <head> and </head>).
Code:
<?php include_once(WB_PATH . '/modules/postits/postits.inc.php'); ?>
Once that is done, create a new page of type Postit and play around to see what happens.

Requirements:
 + Requires Website Baker 2.7 or higher (not tested with WB 2.6.x and I will not support those outdated versions)
 + Requires Javascript enabled
 + Tested with Firefox 3.0.7 and Internet Explorer 6 on WinXP

As usual, your feddback, suggestions etc. are welcome.

Regards Christian

Hi,

version v0.40 RC2 of the PostIts module is available for download on the Website Baker Addons repository.

Modifications with respect to previous version:
 + moved Postits settings (position, color) from postits.js to frontend.css
 + modified Postits include routine to allow display Postits in the backend
 + reworked Readme file to show modifications to get PostIts working in both, frontend and backend

If you are using v0.33 RC1 of the Postits module, you need to change the following code in the index.php of your template from:
Code:
<?php include_once(WB_PATH . '/modules/postits/postits.inc.php'); ?>

into:
Code:
<?php 
// write Postits code to the head section
include_once(WB_PATH . '/modules/postits/postits.inc.php');
if (function_exists('createPostitsCode')) echo createPostitsCode();
?>

Have fun Christian

No. Postits can only be sent from the Website Baker backend. But it is possible to display Postits in both, Frontend and Backend. The Readme explains the steps required.

a few months ago I modifies it into a version where registered users could send post its from the front end... I just could not figure out how to change the targetpage after submitting the port it

what I did: i changed the view page to contain the info from the ad a post it admin page... problem was that it kept sending people to the admin page.

Hi,

do not really understand why users have to be able to send PostIts from the frontend. Users have to login anyway so Postits is aware of the sender. As you need to have a WB login in order to use Postits, it doesn´t matter (at least to me) if I can send Postits via the frontend or the backend. An easy way is to provide a link on the Postits frontend site for user loged in which redirects them to the backend dialogue to send Postits. Is that what you are after?

One has to be very carefull when providing functions with access to the database to the frontend to avoid XSS, SQL Injections etc. This is especially true when using Ajax frameworks. Those "goodies" should only be added if you know exactly what the impact may be  wink

Point is: I am creating a website for a company mainly used as their own information bank, to be able to see the website the company members have to log in. Their specific question was to have some sort of a private message tool.

Since the company members only have the rights to reply on the several available blogs and feedback elements in the site and have no acces to the adminpart I hoped the post-it module would give me this option.

Hello,

please note that I have suspended my support for the "Postits" module effective June 01, 2009. If someone wants to develop or maintain this module any further, please feel free to do so, but keep in mind  that the module is licensed under GNU GPL.

The last stable version of the module can be found on the Website Baker Addons Repository.

Hi folks,

I took over the support of the module "Post Its" officially. Thanks at Doc for the pieces of advice and the well documented code!

I will also publish the newest versions of the module in the future on the AMASP side. ( Thanks to erpe cheesy )

Sorry for starting problems, I must get along here first (and I have to warn you... my English is not the best grin)

Regards,
Marcus

P.S. The newest version postits_v0.61.zip is now available at AMASP
