X-Cart forums - Adding a message text area to tell-a-friend...

Works like a charm.

For those who use text instead of html e-mail change skin1/mail/sendtofriend.tpl to:

Code:

{* $Id: send2friend.tpl,v 1.2 2004/05/31 10:52:01 max Exp $ *}

{config_load file="$skin_config"}

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

{assign var=max_truncate value=$config.Email.max_truncate}{math assign="max_space" equation="x+5" x=$max_truncate}{assign var="max_space" value="%-"|cat:$max_space|cat:"s"}



{* SHAN - MSG FIELD ADDED *}



{$lng.lbl_hello}



{$name} {$lng.eml_has_recommended}:



{$product.product}

===========================================

{$product.descr}



{$lng.lbl_price}: {include file="currency.tpl" value=$product.price}





{$lng.eml_please_click_link}:



 {$catalogs.customer}/product.php?productid={$product.productid}



{if $msg} {$name} also added a message for you ......

{$msg} {/if}="{$catalogs.customer}/product.php?productid={$product.productid}">{$catalogs.customer}/product.php?productid={$product.productid}



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

and just one more tweak:

create in languages:

Code:

txt_personal_info_disclaimer



<font color="#FF0000" size="4">*</font> We do not store or use your or your friend's personal information in any way.

now in skin1/customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl add this below </TABLE>

Code:



{$lng.txt_personal_info_disclaimer}</p>

In my opinion, anything that I can do to alleviate a potential customer's privacy fears, will result in this tool being used more.
