X-Cart forums - send_to_friend.tpl pop up

Here are the steps that I followed to get this working in 4.1.9 based on other posts in this thread. I just thought someone else might find it helpful to have everything in one place. Let me know if I missed anything. ;)

1. Place pop-up link somewhere in skin1/customer/main/product.tpl

Code:

<A HREF="javascript:popUp('product.php?productid={$product.productid}&mode=showsend')">Email A Friend</A>

2. Place this pop-up script in <head> section of skin1/customer/home.tpl (just a free script I found online - credits are in place):

Code:

{literal}

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- Idea by:  Nic Wolfe -->

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->

<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin

function popUp(URL) {

day = new Date();

id = day.getTime();

eval("page" + id + " = window.open(URL, '" + id + "', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=1,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=450,height=200,left = 287,top = 284');");

}

// End -->

</script>

{/literal}

3. In send_to_friend.php:

Add:

Code:

if($mode=='showsend'){

  $main="showstf";

  $smarty->assign("main",$main);

}

Replace (only if you want a custom thank you page):

Code:

func_header_location("product.php?productid=".$productid);



with:

func_header_location("thankyou.php");

4. In product.php:

Replace:

Code:

func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

with:

Code:

if ($main == 'showstf')

  func_display("customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl",$smarty);

else

  func_display("customer/home.tpl",$smarty);

5. Alter your skin1/customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl file to have the look and feel that you want. Mine looks like this:

Code:

{* $Id: send_to_friend.tpl,v 1.11.2.5 2007/04/05 10:17:48 twice Exp $ *}

6. If you want a custom thank you page, create a new file called thankyou.php and upload it to the root x-cart directory.
