Designing the backside of your postcard- Programmer
1) By clicking item 3 you can design the backside of your postcard- OK
2) When clicked you’ll see this screen where you are offered 3 choices, Choose from standard templates, choose from our own postcard back templates or simply upload your own. - Needs proper coding to provide full functions.
3) Once you make your choice click “update proof”. - You will also notice that “Add Stock Postcard Back I Add Your Own Background” links disappear after user makes choice. This should not happen; they should remain visible throughout design session.
4) User data will appear merged into the layout. The layouts do not perform as they do on the front design module, they are very unstable. So we will adapt the code from front module code
5) Now you can edit the placement of text by using the standard layouts or move the text around by using the text tools at the bottom. Same as front module

Notes- Jan 4, 2007

The one new function that needs to be introduced into the back designs is the ability for the user to insert a text block.

For interest sake take a look at Google images

You can see a pattern of styles. They seem to always include area for text, co.name, slogan, address, tell, fax etc. Sometimes they include lightly tinted lines to guide in writing. We have created a set of horizontal and vertical postcard back designs that encompass many of these characteristics.

Insert Postcard textblock

Other noteworthy points: I am not sure on the best way to handle session data? Perhaps there are some good suggestions in the eye of a programmer. The backside was put together from existing files only to illustrate the basic requirements. Programmer can decide on the best way to properly code this, either by using existing codes and adapting or by writing new ones. Any of the work that I have done I have used a file called “V2_sside_bcard_adv_for_back.php”
