Nice addition. Thank you Mattice!

[bdaug001]

i removed the tell-a-friend box from my store to make room for other things; is it really that popular?  

for anyone who has made the silent email modification, any feedback on whether customers use it and how useful it is in generating leads?

Mattice your help is great, thanks.

I am running on MS2, and in case some of you are also running on MS2 and not getting the personal message showing up in the "silent report", here is the simple fix.

In mattice code, change the the following line:

$report .= "n" . 'Personal message: ' . "nn" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['yourmessage'];

to

$report .= "n" . 'Personal message: ' . "nn" . $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];

Hope this helps

Could somebody maybe want to update this so that those of us running MS2 will be able to use it?

As of right now, I have no clue where to add your code.  The place where you say to add it, no longer exists in the MS2 code.

Thanks,
Priest

The following works for me, running current 2.2 CVS.

Find this in catalog/tella_friend.php: (Approx lines 77 - 80)

      $email_body .= sprintf(TEXT_EMAIL_LINK, tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) . "nn" .

                     sprintf(TEXT_EMAIL_SIGNATURE, STORE_NAME . "n" . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . "n");



      tep_mail($to_name, $to_email_address, $email_subject, $email_body, $from_name, $from_email_address);

Add this after above:

/* CC Tell a Friend - BOF */

// Mail a (silent) report to the web owner: 

// get ip 

  if (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) { 

      $ip=getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'); 

    } else { 

      $ip=getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); 

  } 



// build report 

    $report  = 'Here are the details of the Tell A Friend submission by ' . $from_name . ' on ' . date("D M j G:i:s Y") . ':'; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Sender details: ' . $from_name . ' - ' . $from_email_address;

    $report .= "nn" . 'Recipient details: ' . $to_name . ' - ' . $to_email_address; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Sender IP address: ' . $ip; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Personal message: ' . "nn" . $message; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Product link: ' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO . '?products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']; 



// mail report 

    tep_mail('Tell A Friend',  'you@youraddress.com', '[ REPORT ] Tell a Friend Usage', tep_output_string_protected($report), $from_name, $from_email_address);

/* CC Tell a Friend - EOF */

Let me know how you go...

[Farrukh]

it works smoothly on MS 2.2

Thanks TB

[TB]

Thanks for the feedback... glad to see it works for you.
All credit goes to Mattice for his original submission...

You can also show the name of the Product so you know which product they are talking about rather then clicking on the link and seeing.

here is the code again

/* CC Tell a Friend - BOF */ 

// Mail a (silent) report to the web owner: 

// get ip 

  if (getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR')) { 

      $ip=getenv('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'); 

    } else { 

      $ip=getenv('REMOTE_ADDR'); 

  } 



// build report 

    $report  = 'Here are the details of the Tell A Friend submission by ' . $from_name . ' on ' . date("D M j G:i:s Y") . ':'; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Sender details: ' . $from_name . ' - ' . $from_email_address; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Recipient details: ' . $to_name . ' - ' . $to_email_address; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Sender IP address: ' . $ip; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Personal message: ' . "nn" . $message; 

    $report .= "nn" . 'Product Name: ' . $products_name = $product_info['products_name'];

    $report .= "nn" . 'Product link: '  . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO . '?products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']; 



// mail report 

    tep_mail('Tell A Friend',  'farrukh@arabianbazaar.com', '[ REPORT ] Tell a Friend Usage', tep_output_string_protected($report), $from_name, $from_email_address); 

/* CC Tell a Friend - EOF */

[Priest]

Well, I have just added it and tried it on MS2.2 and although it does send to the other person, as expected, I do not receive a " Tell-a-Friend"  usage email.

Is there maybe something else I need to turn on in the admin settings?

Thanks,
Priest

[TB]

Did you replace this e-mail address here:

Quote

// mail report  
   tep_mail('Tell A Friend',  '[b]farrukh@arabianbazaar.com Tell a Friend Usage', tep_output_string_protected($report), $from_name, $from_email_address);  
/* CC Tell a Friend - EOF */

With your own?

If not... this could be a reason you're not getting the e-mails.

Cheers,
Tony

[Priest]

Yep, I changed the email address to my own, of course, but still no usage being sent to me.  The Tell-A-Friend is being sent to the "friend"  but the report isn't being sent to me.

Have you enabled Send Email Option in Admin

Admin > Configuration > E-Mail Options > Send E-Mails > true

I am running the above code on my site, and I have tested it many times. Its working perfectly fine.

[Farrukh]

If its still not working for you, then enter this into your Database

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('', 'Send To A Friend - Control ON/OFF', 'CONFIG_SEND_TO_A_FRIEND', 'true', 'Would you like to get an email when a visitor uses Send To A Friend ?', 12, 800, '2003-03-14 12:20:07', '2003-03-14 12:20:07', NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array('true', 'false'),'); 

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('', 'Send To A Friend - Email', 'EMAIL_SEND_TO_A_FRIEND', 'your email', 'Send an Email to this address when someone uses Send to a friend option', 12, 801, '2003-03-14 12:20:07', '2003-03-14 12:20:07', NULL, NULL);

Thanks to Druide for the above mysql code.

it will give you option under E-mail options in Configuration. You can enter the email where you want the report to be send.

Also, try to send the file "tell_a_friend.php" by email.

thanks in advance...

[MYC267]

Just found this... very smooth. Yes I think we all like being "big daddy". SPOT ON!!

Mattice:

I was wondering if this mod had been packaged up and put in the contribs section (with compatibility for those of us on MS2 as well)?  I'm totally php stupid and I'd need a line by line "Khim - do this... Khim.. do that" or I'd seriously screw it up.

If it has been added to the contribs area, what is the name of the contrib so I can get this and install it on my shop?

Thanks in advance for writing the mod and for any light you can shed on this subject :-)

Khim~
