Title: Quick Question Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Quick Question * Resolved [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/) * First of all great plugin! I just have 2 quick questions: * First, is it possible to allow users to post the drawing like a blog post and not as a reply or comment? * Second, is it possible to have a custom background canvas as the default? For example, if I wanted to allow people to draw on a map and ONLY draw on that map background. * Thanks! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/drawblog/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/drawblog/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 24 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/page/2/?output_format=md) * Thread Starter [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905310) * Sorry, I just answered my question about the posting thing. But I still need to know about having a custom default background canvas! * Plugin Author [randytayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randytayler/) * (@randytayler) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905378) * I don’t have a way to do that. How do you envision it working? How would the blog poster choose a default pic to go with his blog entry? At the time he writes his blog post? Or in the backend settings, so it’s ALWAYS the default background, regardless of the post? * Thread Starter [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905380) * So it is ALWAYS the background image, for example, if I wanted to make a site about travel routes in the U.S. I would allow people to draw their route on a U.S. map then post it. It would be the same map for everyone but each post would be different in what they drew ON the image. * Would it be possible to make the canvas transparent then use css to bind a background image? * Plugin Author [randytayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randytayler/) * (@randytayler) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905384) * Okay, I have a hard-coded fix for now. If you open up /wp-content/plugins/drawblog/ drawblog_canvas.php, you can add this line at line 370. (Edit the URL to be the map you want, and your canvas resolution.) It’s not pretty, and the next time I update DrawBlog you’ll need to manually put the line in again, but it should work. * drawblogDoPaste(‘[http://www.50states.com/images/us_map.gif’](http://www.50states.com/images/us_map.gif’);, 400, 300); * Lemme know what you think. * Thread Starter [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905386) * It works!

The eraser turns everything white, I do not think that your fix will address this so should I just edit out the eraser from the script? * Thread Starter [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905400) * Annnnnnd when I try to make a post it is not working, the canvas is just white, my image is not on it. It is only working if I try to leave a comment or reply. Thanks man I appreciate it. * Plugin Author [randytayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randytayler/) * (@randytayler) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905505) * Huh – I thought I replied – sorry. Yes, the eraser only turns things white. No way to fix that, really. Sorry. * As for adding it to a post… * /wp-content/plugins/drawblog/drawblog_post_canvas.php needs that line inserted right at 264. That should do it. * Thread Starter [mugamugaw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mugamugaw/) * (@mugamugaw) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905508) * When I do that it is still white and now I can not draw anything on it. * Plugin Author [randytayler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/randytayler/) * (@randytayler) * [12 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quick-question-32/#post-3905509) * Oh great. Oh! Wait. I know why. Okay, crap. * I’ll need to add this to the next release – you’re not the only one requesting it.
