Thanks it works beautifully. My next question. How can I save and then access the names and email address of of the people that have sent the forms? Somewhere there must be a floder or file?
Thanks

Technically it can be easily done. BUT, that would be considered spyware, and a violation of their privacy. The DON'T give you their email, you are stealing it.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Do the TAF pages have to be published in each folder that contains a page with a TAF button for this to work?

I hope I explained myself. I want to use the TAF button on several pages. Do i need to FTP the php file and publish the other 3 pages in that same folder for that TAF button to work on that page?

Re: Tell A Friend Script

nevermind I figured out that you do have to publish them over, but they publish so fast that its not an inconvenience.

Great php script once again. Thanks Naval.

As the sript is now, yes, you need to publish it in all folders.
But, if you change the links to absolute (including the path) in all pages, as well as in the form action, then you can only publish once and use it in all your folders.

If i change the links to who and do what? Is there another thread explaining this? It sounds like something I should know.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

Links can be reletive (only the file / page name) or absolute (including the path to the file / page) .

The "tell a friend button is linked to the form popup by this link:

#" onClick="window.open('TAFform.html', '','width=310,height=170'); return false;"

if you change it to

#" onClick="window.open('http://www.yoursite.com/TAFform.html', '','width=310,height=170'); return false;"

you will be able to publish / upload the script only in your public_html, and call it from any folder

Re: Tell A Friend Script

I can't seem to figure out why my form isn't working properly on a forum I put up. The TAF button is in the middle of the header on THIS PAGE.

The form pops up correctly
If you fill it out correctly it works
If you fill it out incorrectly it doesn't always bring up the TAFspamerror when it should.

Any ideas?

Re: Tell A Friend Script

It seems to work ok. Please provide an example of values for the fileds that will not work ok.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

I just put

steve@cnn.com

in all the fields, and it submitted just fine.

Re: Tell A Friend Script

It's also happening on my site pages HERE.

It shouldn't matter that this is an add on domain right?

Re: Tell A Friend Script

This is intended. The name fields will accept up to 1 @symbol. This is because many users use usernames instead of their real names so a @ symbol should be allowed.

If you wish to disallow the @ symbol from the name fields, just open the file TAF.php and edit the two lines that make the @ count: instead of >1 make it >0 (for the name fields only)

Re: Tell A Friend Script

OK that makes sense. I'll leave it the way you made it. Thanks Naval
