send_to_friend.tpl pop up

luxor · #11 07-17-2008, 12:37 PM

I have a simple solution I use.

add this to the end of send_to_friend.php before the final }

func_header_location("thankyoupage.php");

this will load thankyoupage.php after a succesful submit. you can stylize this page all you like.

Thank you, Luxor!

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 $ *}
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
{config_load file="$skin_config"}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Email A Friend</title>
{include file="meta.tpl" }
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$SkinDir}/{#CSSFile#}" />
</head>
<body{$reading_direction_tag}{if $body_onload ne ''} onload="javascript: {$body_onload}"{/if}>
<div style="width: 450px; height: 200px; background-color: #FFF;">
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript 1.2">
<!--
var requiredFields = new Array();
requiredFields[0] = new Array('send_name', "{$lng.lbl_send_your_name|strip_tags|replace:'"':'\"'}", false);
requiredFields[1] = new Array('send_from', "{$lng.lbl_send_your_email|strip_tags|replace:'"':'\"'}", false);
requiredFields[2] = new Array('send_to', "{$lng.lbl_recipient_email|strip_tags|replace:'"':'\"'}", false);
-->
</script>
{include file="check_required_fields_js.tpl"}
{include file="check_email_script.tpl"}
{capture name=dialog}
<form action="product.php" method="post" name="send">
<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="send" />
<input type="hidden" name="productid" value="{$product.productid}" />
<table>
<tr>
    <td class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_send_your_name}:</td>
	<td><font class="Star">*</font></td>
    <td><input id="send_name" type="text" size="45" name="name" value="{$send_to_friend_info.name|escape}"/>{if $send_to_friend_info.fill_err and $send_to_friend_info.name eq ''}<front class="Star">&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_send_your_email}:</td>
	<td><font class="Star">*</font></td>
	<td><input id="send_from" type="text" size="45" name="from" value="{$send_to_friend_info.from|escape}" onchange="javascript: checkEmailAddress(this);" />{if ($send_to_friend_info.fill_err and $send_to_friend_info.from eq '') or $send_to_friend_info.from_failed eq "Y"}<front class="Star">&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_recipient_email}:</td>
	<td><font class="Star">*</font></td>
    <td><input id="send_to" type="text" size="45" name="email" onchange="javascript: checkEmailAddress(this);" value="{$send_to_friend_info.email|escape}"/>{if ($send_to_friend_info.fill_err and $send_to_friend_info.email eq '') or $send_to_friend_info.email_failed eq "Y"}<front class="Star">&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}</td>

</tr> 
{if $active_modules.Image_Verification and $show_antibot.on_send_to_friend eq 'Y'}
{include file="modules/Image_Verification/spambot_arrest.tpl" mode="simple" id=$antibot_sections.on_send_to_friend antibot_err=$antibot_friend_err}
{/if}
<tr>
	<td colspan="3"><br />{include file="buttons/button.tpl" style="button" button_title=$lng.lbl_send_to_friend href="javascript: if(checkRequired(requiredFields)) document.send.submit();"}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_send_to_friend content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra='width="100%"'}
</div>
</body>
</html>

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.

Here's a quick question if anyone knows - I'm now attempting to turn the pop up link into a button, but it isn't working because I have brackets within brackets:

Code:

{include file="buttons/email_a_friend.tpl" style="button" href="javascript:popUp('product.php?productid={$product.productid}&mode=showsend')"}

Is there a way around this?

PhilJ · #15 07-17-2008, 02:24 PM

maybe try...

Code:

{include file="buttons/email_a_friend.tpl" style="button" href="javascript:popUp('product.php?productid=`$product.productid`&mode=showsend')"}

abeight · #16 07-17-2008, 02:30 PM

Thank you, Phil! That works!!

Woo hoo!

soleag · #17 07-28-2008, 09:51 PM

I'm having trouble with this code in 4.1.10. My popup window just displays the product page, no "Send To Friend " template. Should it work in 4.1.10?

gb2world · #18 08-07-2008, 10:24 PM

Thanks for the mod.

There are a couple of changes I had to make to Andrea's summary in post #13 to get it to work for me.

1 - The code for product.php needs to add the ".tpl" after:
func_display("customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl",$smarty);

(Soleag - this could explain it not working for you if you used this code)

2. In the modified code for skin1/customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl, the send button did not work for me, I believe, because some javascript is missing. I added this before the </head>:

Code:

<script src="/skin1/common.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

This could be because I am using a shadowbox and not the popup javascript. Maybe the popup still finds the common.js with a popup. I'm not sure.

Hi, not sure what I’m doing wrong but for some reason my popup window displays template of product page instead of sent_to_friend. Could anybody help me with it. Many thanks

Check the 4th step in post 13 of this thread.
