[Arigato PRO] The {{url}} Variable

Most configurable emails in BroadFast for WordPress allow using the {{url}} variable. It gets contextually replaced by URL toi subscribe, unsubscribe etc (as appropriate).

Please note that the variable will not automatically be replaced with a HTML hyperlink. It will be replaced with URL only. If you want to explicitly make it clickable HTML hyperlink you can do this with the rich text editor or if you prefer the Text mode, just write:

<a href="{{url}}">{{url}}</a>

The idea is to let you use free text, for example:

<a href="{{url}}">Click here!</a>

Of course if you are sending plain text emails it’s best to leave it as URL only. Most modern email programs will make it clickable anyway.

Adding images in match/matrix answers

The answers area of the match / matrix questions in WatuPRO does not use the rich text editor. There is just no space to put it there because there are two boxes for each answer. The rich text editor will make the UI there bad.

But you can still add images there by entering HTML code. The easiest way to do so is this:

  • Scroll down just a bit to see the “Optional Answer Explanation” box
  • Click on its “Add Media” button
  • Locate or upload your image
  • Get its URL from the “Attachment Details” sidebar which appears when the image is clicked
  • Copy the URL
  • Enter <img src="URL HERE"> in the answer box and paste your URL in place of “URL HERE” words.
  • That’s it.

Design Themes From WatuPRO 4.6.5

Design themes are available in our WordPress quiz plugin WatuPRO, starting from version 4.6.5. The design themes let you control how the quizzes look for your users.
WatuPRO currently have 5 ready design themes. You can choose design theme in WatuPRO Settings page:

select-themeChoose the theme and save. Now your quizzes will use the theme.

Designing your own theme

Designing your own theme is as simple as uploading a CSS file in watupro/css/themes folder. From WatuPRO 5.8.3 and newer we recommend creating folders watupro/themes/ under your WP theme directory and placing the files there (this means folder “watupro” and folder “themes” under “watupro”). This will ensure you won’t use your custom themes when the plugin is updated.

From WatuPRO 6.1.9.5 you no longer need to upload files. There is a link “Create and manage your custom themes” next to the Theme drop-down shown above which lets you create themes directly in the administration.

Please explore the existing themes to get ideas what you can change and how. We can provide design consultations as addon service.

The existing themes

We are starting with 5 built-in themes. Below are small examples of each of them:

The default theme

This theme is used by default in WatuPRO. The prev/next button in this theme do not have a set up design so they follow the buttons design of your global WP theme.

The green “namaste” theme

The themes with “namaste” in their name were created for best match with the Premium theme of the learning management system Namaste! LMS. They can be used for standalone quizzes as well, and look very well.
