Postbox & Zen Postbox Add-On Updates!
New releases fix a couple of problems. The add-ons should now work with both the stable and development releases.
Zen Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this is the one that adds a button to the message composer. This release fixes the missing images for the animated backgrounds.
Postbox 1.2 [Download] - this just adds the stylesheet, it doesn't add any UI.
Thanks to @Kevin for helping me troubleshoot it!
That probably won't work unless Friendica changes how it federates content to wafrn. Like most other platforms only the plain text is sent, the <span> gets stripped out. If I recall the <span> does go through to Mastodon and Tumblr but the postbox class gets stripped out.
But I had the opposite problem with Diaspora and Hubzilla where the raw BBcode or Markdown was getting sent.
You could talk to the Friendica devs about trying to get the formatted HTML sent, then you'd just need the postbox stylesheet on the wafrn server to display them properly.
