When viewing the site in edit mode you will need to select - 'Create New Page'.
This will bring up the template gallery - from here we select 'E-Cards' and then 'E-Card'. On some sites the E-Card feature may not be activated but don't worry, just contact us on support@cubik.co.uk and we will switch the feature on free of charge.
This action will bring up a text editor titled 'Upper Text'. This is where you introduce your E-Card and ask your site visitors to fill in their details.

When you save the page the OneStopCMS solution will automatically generate the form displayed below.

Having introduced your E-Card it is now time to set it up. You will be presented with the following table. E-Card Settings

E-card Resource Gallery	This is the gallery from which the visitor can select their E-Card images. This gallery will need to have been setup beforehand.
Include child resource galleries	If you wish to categorise your E-Cards, for example into Trees, Animals, Landscapes etc, you will need to create each of these as a separate child of the parent resource gallery. Once this is complete you can tick this box.
Email Subject	The subject of the email that will be received by the E-Card's recipient.
Email text	The text of the email that will be received by the E-Card's recipient. You will see from the default value in this field that you can use '{sender-name}' and '{recipient-name}' to add the names that have been entered into the form on the E-Card page. If you edit this value, please ensure that you do not remove '{card-url}' as this will insert the url that needs to be clicked to view the E-Card.

Having established the E-Cards settings you are then given the option to fill in any information you would like displayed below the form on the E-Card page.
The final input required is the text that is displayed after the site visitor has sent their E-Card. You may wish to include a link of some description within this text, in order to direct visitors to a specific section of the site.
Once you have populated this placeholder select . You will be asked to add a 'Name' and a 'Display Name' to the page, once you are happy select 'OK'.
If you are an author on the site your page will be submitted for approval. If you are an editor you will need to approve the page to go onto the live site. This can be achieved by selecting .
