I saw this site

http://path-to-peace.com/forum2/ 

and I want this I saw 



I searched the block code snippets and could not find it  how to get this 

[Hairy]

I'll see if I can modify a different snippet to do something like this, I'm only new to this stuff so allow me some time falguni1

[falguni1]

hmmmm 

thanks 

[Hairy]

OK here goes 

Try this and tell me what you think, make sure you change the admin email and website addresses!

It will also take the person to an article page after they use it, make an article to say thanks or something, it's currently set for article ID #6

Code Select Expand

//article to be redirected when form is submitted
$thank_you_article_id = '6';

Also a pic attached (colors adjusts to your theme)

Code Select Expand

global $user_info, $context, $settings ;


///////////////////////////

//Website address
$website_address= 'http://www.yoursite.com';

//Admin email address
$admin_email_address= 'adminemail@yours.com';

//article to be redirected when form is submitted
$thank_you_article_id = '6';


/////////////////////////////////
//END OF CONFIGURATION SECTION //

$email_address= $_POST['fmail'];

$show_form= 'true';
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
// Handle the form

// email the form

$subject = 'Invitation from ' . $_POST['real_name'] . '';
$body =
'Hello ' . $_POST['fname'] . '

' . $_POST['real_name'] . ' wanted to invite you to our community at ' . $website_address . '

Their message.....

Edit: some more un-needed code removed

[Hairy]

I thought I should post an example of the email it sends, (I have removed my IP from this image)



It might not be as pretty as the original but I'm sure some people here might have fun improving it  :up:

Cheers

PS. If anyone can think of a much better way to word the email it sends please say so and I'll quickly fix it. It's quite late here so I can not think good right now

Falguni, please do NOT post for support in the snippets board. I've told you before this, please post any requests in the REQUESTS board. Since you have a snippet now though, I'll leave it if it works for everyone.

I am very new to ALL of this and I'm not even sure yet what tiny portal does for SMF.  But I do wonder - how would go about installing this little snippet code - or where?

Sorry if this request is in the wrong place - but it is my first post and I will 'get it' soon I hope

Thanks
Chris

[IchBin]

cluksha, TP is a mod for SMF. If you read up in the Docs board you'll find a lot more info about TP. Any of the code snippets here can be added to a right/left/center block or even articles.

Hairy you are genius 

it works so good and looks so nice  :coolsmiley:

thankyou 

[falguni1]

one thing I noticed is that if you want to send email to someone you dont need to log to your email account, just fill this form and send it. 

sounds lazy and quick
