Demo: http://path-to-peace.com/forum2/

How To:

1 - Download image and php file attached

2 - Open php file and alter these lines:

<META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT="6;URL=http://path-to-peace.com/community">

Replace the address with your homepage (this is where the redirect takes place after sending the email) - Also the 6 is the time in seconds it takes to redirect, you can change it if you want.

Also in the same file find:

if you are not diverted in 10 seconds please <a href='http://path-to-peace.com/community/'>

Replace the address for your own

3- Place the following code in a SCRIPT SIDE BLOCK

<form method=post action=tellck.php>
      <table  border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align=center>
<tr bgcolor='#96C33C'><td colspan=2 align=center><font face='Verdana' size='2' ><b>TELL A FRIEND</b></font></td></tr>

<tr><td width=120><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Your Name</font></td></tr><tr><td width=120><input type=text name=y_name></td></tr>
<tr><td><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Your Email</font></td></tr><tr><td><input type=text name=y_email></td></tr>
<tr ><td><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Your Friend's Name</font></td></tr><tr><td><input type=text name=f_name></td></tr>
<tr><td><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Friend's Email</font></td></tr><tr><td><input type=text name=f_email></td></tr>
<tr ><td><font face='Verdana' size='2' >Your Message</font></td></tr><tr><td><textarea name=y_msg rows=5 cols=20></textarea></td></tr>

<tr bgcolor='#96C33C'><td colspan=2 align=center><font face='Verdana' size='2' ><input type=submit value='Send'></font></td></tr>
</table>
</form>


4 - Recommended settings for block: Use frame but not title.

5 - Upload both files (1 image and 1 php file) attached to this post to your forum root (directory where your forum is installed)

6 - Activate the block and enjoy.

oh i nearly forgot...

in the PHP file this line defines what message to send

$header_message = "Peace $f_name \n Your friend $y_name has sent you the following message and requested you to visit the page at \n $ref \n";

Dont touch the variables starting with the $ sign, the rest u can change

The script is not recognizing the form inputs when I try it.  Each time I get.....


Your email address is not correct
Please enter your name
Your Friends address is not correct
Please enter your friend's name


It works like a charm on Gobo's site.  What am I overlooking?  :-\

I tried this one to and did not work for me neither. My forum is using gmail. Is there a possibility to use that somewhere in this code?
Thanks for all the great help I have been getting on this board. :)
B.T.W. Here is my forum http://arrisje.110mb.com/Forum/index.php
