well this is a great mod.

would be nice to have

{$product.product|escape}
{$product.descr|truncate:255:"...":true}

Included in the email.
I tried this but couldnt wrap my head around it...

Boomer, I did what you suggested but then I have this error.

Can't write template cache in the directory: /templates_c.
Please check if it exists, and have writable permissions.

I check my /templates_c folder rights and it has 777. Do you have any hints?

Tks,

Ming

Updated sendtofriend.php file for 3.5.0 (this should do the trick 8-[ ):

Code:

<?php 

# 

# sendtofriend mod by www.cart-lab.com

# 



require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php";

require $xcart_dir."/config.php";

require "./auth.php"; 

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";



if($active_modules["Bestsellers"]) 

   include "../modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.php"; 



$product_info = func_select_product($productid, $user_account['membership']); 

$cat = $product_info["categoryid"]; 



$userinfo = func_userinfo($login,$login_type); 



if ($REQUEST_METHOD=="POST") { 



#    phpinfo(); exit(); 



# 

# Send mail to support 

# 

   $HTTP_POST_VARS["body"] = stripslashes($HTTP_POST_VARS["body"]); 



   while (list($key,$val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) 

      $contact[$key]=$val; 



    $fillerror = (empty($contact["firstname"]) || empty($contact["lastname"]) || empty($contact["email"]) || empty($contact["sendtoemail"])); 



   if(!$fillerror) { 

      $mail_smarty->assign("contact",$contact); 



      #print $contact["sendtoemail"]; exit(); 



      func_send_mail($contact["sendtoemail"], "mail/sendtofriend_subj.tpl", "mail/sendtofriend.tpl", $contact["email"], true); 



    $productid = $product_info['productid']; 

      header("Location: sendtofriend.php?section=sendtofriend&productid=$productid"); 

      exit; 



   } else { 



      $userinfo = $HTTP_POST_VARS; 

      $userinfo["login"] = $userinfo["uname"]; 



   } 

} 





$smarty->assign("userinfo",$userinfo); 

$smarty->assign("fillerror",$fillerror); 

$smarty->assign("main","sendtofriend"); 

$smarty->assign("help_section",$section); 

$smarty->assign("location",$location); 

$smarty->assign("product",$product_info); 



$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl"); 



?>

Hi Boomer,

Thank for you such speedy respone. After trying out the new sendtofriend.php, I was able to send out an email but the email subject line & message body look like below. It doesn't populate the data. Any solution to that. Thanks in advance! -Ming

{$contact.firstname} {$contact.lastname} has recommended a product to you.
{if $contact.body ne ""}

{$contact.body}

{/if}
Checkout the product link below for more details:
http://www.EntrustResources.com/store/customer/product.php?productid={$contact.productid}

{include file="mail/signature.tpl"}

Thanks for a great mod, just got a "little" error over here:

Warning: main(/smarty.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /web/sites/mydir/mysite.com/shop/customer/sendtofriend.php on line 6

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required '/smarty.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /web/sites/mydir/mysite.com/shop/customer/sendtofriend.php on line 6

Anyone that got any ideas what could have caused this...??

12-01-2003 08:41 PM

Various,

To get around it, I had to put require $xcart_dir."../smarty.php"; instead of require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php";

Having said that, I am now stuck on "Can't write template cache in the directory: /templates_c. Please check if it exists, and have writable permissions" error message, which I can't for the life of me get rid of.

I don't know if you'll have the same problem.....

Regards

Jacob

jacobkball

12-01-2003 08:42 PM

Ok, I've GOT IT SORTED.

To get around it, you need to remove/comment out the lines require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php"; and require $xcart_dir."/config.php";

This has fixed the "Can't write template cache in the directory: /templates_c. Please check if it exists, and have writable permissions" error messages that I was getting.

Regards

Jacob

To update for 3.5.0 if your getting a funny error of:
"Can't to find template engine!"

Edit the sendtofriend.php file and adjust the includes:

Code:

require "../smarty.php"; 

require "../config.php"; 

@include "./https.php"; 

require "./auth.php"; 

require "../include/categories.php";

replace with:

Code:

require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php"; 

require $xcart_dir."/config.php"; 

@include "./https.php"; 

require "./auth.php"; 

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

jacobkball

12-02-2003 01:56 PM

I had tried that, but then kept getting the error "Can't write template cache in the directory: /templates_c. Please check if it exists, and have writable permissions".

You need to remove these lines:

Code:

require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php"; 

require $xcart_dir."/config.php"; 

@include "./https.php";

as you'll notice that in the files X-Cart have updated, they have removed these lines also.

This worked for me, thanks for your time jacobkball & BOOMER! :D

Wonder if there is any stable and straightforward code for this mod ?

I am successfully loading the 'sendtofriend.php' after implementing the appropriate fixes, but am receiving the following error when submitting the information on the sendtofriend page:

Warning: Failed to Receive in c:\www\xcart\include\func.php on line 269

Warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\www\xcart\include\func.php:269) in c:\www\xcart\customer\sendtofriend.php on line 39

I am using v3.5.1 as opposed to v3.5.0, perhaps further fixes are required for v3.5.1? or it could be something i'm doing wrong :)

Lines 268-272 of my include/func.php:

Code:

if (preg_match('/([^ @,;<>]+@[^ @,;<>]+)/S', $from, $m))

                        mail($to,$mail_subject,$mail_message,$headers, "-f".$m[1]);

                else

                        mail($to,$mail_subject,$mail_message,$headers);

}

Lines 36-42 of customer\sendtofriend.php:

Code:

func_send_mail($contact["sendtoemail"], "mail/sendtofriend_subj.tpl", "mail/sendtofriend.tpl", $contact["email"], true); 



    $productid = $product_info['productid']; 

      header("Location: sendtofriend.php?section=sendtofriend&productid=$productid"); 

      exit;

shan	12-11-2003 10:01 AM

make sure you dont have any blank spaces at the end of the .php files

leon	12-11-2003 11:11 AM

That is something I havent been able to explain to myself, why do spaces get involved in this ?

BCSE	12-20-2003 08:06 PM

I got this to work like a charm in 3.3.5. I think I got it working in 30 min or less. I used only what was said in page 1 from Boomer. I also added &partner=sendtofriend onto the URL for tracking purposes (and if Affiliate gets installed at a later date).

Great Mod Boomer! Thanks! I'll be buying something from your store soon for my appreciation! :)

Carrie
BTW: Going to add a nice button for it instead of a text link in a few days. No time now. :)

I'd love to get Boomer's 'Send to Friend' mod working in LiteCommerce. Anyone have any idea how to accomplish this? Please let me know...

B00MER

12-22-2003 10:54 PM

Unfortunatly I'm not too familiar with the template system lite commerce uses, not to mention ive not customized a lite commerce site yet. 8O

also a variation, which is a basic enquiry form that sends an email to support - http://www.lordshipfurnishers.co.uk/xmods/Enquire_Mod_v352.zip

:lol:

Hey, thanx alot, Im going to take a look and try it myself. Im on 3.5.2 myself. :wink:

And about the second option, what do you mean about that being a basic enquiry form to send email to support, in what circumstances ? Or is it something like "Send to Support" instead of "Send to Friend" ?

PhilJ

01-07-2004 10:02 AM

Leon, I've added some screenshots, see thread before

leon	01-07-2004 10:20 AM

Wow, very nice. Now I get it, the enquiry thing is like sending a message from a certain product that a prospect is interested in, something like using the contact form, but giving the prospect a helping hand.

So I assume that it also integrates into the existing style ?

B00MER

01-07-2004 01:57 PM

Cool to see someone has updated this mod for 3.5.x, kudos! By any chance could I put this up as a freebie on x-cart?

Let me know, thanks. ;)

Every stone helps! :)

leon	01-19-2004 11:48 AM

Works great and smooth to the cart. I would suggest using localization on any and every custom mod where possible, currently Im trying to do this myself, but if it is added as a Freebie anywhere as BOOMER mentions, for International sake, use localization variables, otherwise people might not know what you are talking about there. :D

How to Include Product Detail or description with image in it in mail?

installation

I downloaded the updated "Send to Friend" mod from PhilJ's post (Thank-you!)...but there were no installation instructions. Do I just dump it into my x-cart dir. overwriting whatever may be there?

Thanks.

leon	01-20-2004 10:14 AM

Just follow the same structure presented in the files.

Works great now! Hey I was looking through the code to see how I could CC or BC the admin on the emails that are sent. Any ideas?

Hi,

I have previosuly installed this mod on v3.5.3 without any problems. I have since performed a 'clean' install of v3.5.5 and installed the 'Send to Friend' mod in the same was as I had previously, however when the 'Send to Friend' page is loaded, it loads only a clean 'home.tpl' page, without including the 'sendtofriend.tpl' file. I have checked and double checked all components and am still having no success.

If anyone can recommend a resolution it would be appreciated.

thanks

B00MER

03-29-2004 07:24 AM

Make sure you have added the proper code to skin1/common_templates.tpl this is what calls the sendtofriend.tpl for the main area of the page.
