      Re: Tell A Friend Script

      Hello Navaldesign

      I saw you script and it works great, now I think I am going to be a pain and ask the following, but still is going to be go for other users to.

      Is there any change you can mod the exsisting code so it's either

      Tell a Friend [FRIENDS NAME] @ [EMAIL] (SEND)
      OR
      Tell a Friend [EMAIL] (SEND)

      With the added bonus of the content of the body of the email.

      Because I am thinking of space

      And the other question instead of going to another page, can the SEND change to DONE or SENT

      Just a thought

      Many thanks Wayne

        It can be done easily: delete the additional fields from the TAF form. Just make sure that if you change the layout, all the fields and buttons are still in the form area. You can rearrange the fields, change colors, make them smaller, whatever you want.

        Please also note that this TAF script has been posted when VH pollicy about email required SMTP authentication to send emails to an external (non VH) email address. Now it is not any more required, as this pollicy has changed, so you could simply create your own script, more or less like a form mailing script as described in the forms tutorials.

          Hiya Naval,

          I *think* I've followed your instructions correctly, but have ended up with a problem when I click the "Tell a friend" button. I got the following error:

          Message was not sent
          Mailer Error: Language string failed to load: data_not_accepted

          I used my CPanel login information... should I have used my email password instead of the one I use for the CPanel?

          The addy is: http://www.ccabincandles.com/tell_a_friend1.html

          Apparently I've missed a step somewhere, or messed up something you've set up... have any ideas?

          Thanks in advance. :)

                What do you mean "then went to tellafriend.php location " ? the script should only be accessed by the form, not directly. Please post here the URL of the tell a friend page so i can have a look.

                  Hi Naval
                  I have had a go with your tell a friend script. I might have messed up the form? Anyway I can't get it to work.. I changed the tellafriend.php adding my user and pass, uploaded the three php files to my public directory and puplished the tell_a_friend1.html. When I press the send button I get a 404 on the tellafriend.php
                  Any ideas what I have done wrong?
                  Cheers

                      Re: Tell A Friend Script

                      I have tried your Tell a Friend and it WORKS. It DOES send the mail. So, i suppose that the problem is that it doesn't find the
                      "returnpage" and it gives you the error message. if you get a better look at the script, you will see that at the end, there is a line like

                      header("Location: returnpage.html"); // returnpage is the same page of the form or another of your choice.

                      You need to change the returnpage.html with the actual name of the page where the visitor will get redirected after he has used the TAF script.

                        Thanks Naval for the quick reply... I had not scrolled down to find the returnpage!!! All works fine now Thank you.
                        Just one thing (why I said it did not work) When I sent message using my web e-mail it worked fine but when I sent it to my hotmail it did not. Any ideas?
                        Cheers

                          Re: Tell A Friend Script

                          I'm afraid not. The script makes use of the php mailer class, so it should work with ANY email address. If you still have problems, please let me know and i will eventually provide you with another script.

                              Hi Naval,

                              I got the same error of another site builder but you didn't post the fix last time.

                              I tried your site and it worked ok.

                              What's wrong? Is it a login problem? Am I supposed to use my cPanel login info or my email login info?

                              Many thanks in advance!

                              VMS
