Just wanted to say, rrf, I would be all for a "Send to Friend" module appearing in future versions of X-Cart.

[BoomBoomBap]

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 ):

<?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"}

Updated in the post above previous.

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...??

[jacobkball]

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

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

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:

require "../smarty.php"; 
require "../config.php"; 
@include "./https.php"; 
require "./auth.php"; 
require "../include/categories.php"; 

replace with:

require $xcart_dir."/smarty.php"; 
require $xcart_dir."/config.php"; 
@include "./https.php"; 
require "./auth.php"; 
require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";
