# Zen Postbox
|
|
|
|
This is a Friendica add-on that adds a Jot Plugin tool button to the Compose editor allowing users to easily select any of the "Postbox" color backgrounds.
|
|
|
|
Postbox color backgrounds are similar to a Facebook feature for text-only posts, except Friendica's allows any arbitrary content and users may have more than on Postbox per post.
|
|
|
|
This add-on also adds support for displaying Postbox content in all feeds no matter what theeme is in use.
|
|
|
|
_**Note**: It has "zen" on the beginning of the name just to make the add-on load AFTER other Jot Plugins. In particular the "Smileybutton" add-on which has a typo that clears any Jot Plugins that load before it._
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
1. Place the "zen_postbox" folder in your _friendica/addons_ subfolder.
|
|
2. Go to the Main _Menu > Admin > Addons_ and enable "Zen Postbox"
|
|
3. On the Compose Modal or Compose Page you should see a rainbox button that opens a background selector.
|
|
|
|
## Using Zen Postbox
|
|
|
|
1. Open the message Compose modal or Page
|
|
2. To wrap text, etc., in a Postbox select it in the message editor.
|
|
3. Press the rainbow button at the bottom of the editor.
|
|
4. Select which Postbox background you'd like to wrap the text in.
|
|
5. Press the "Preview" tab to see what it will look like.
|
|
|
|
If no text is selected in the editor a Postbox will be appeneded to the text area with "..." for content. Replace the "..." with your text, etc.
|
|
|
