Can I have your e-mail address? I will send you one via the MOD and see if you get it.
Also would anyone else mind checking it out and letting me know if it works for them? Thanks! |

Just found a problem with it, the line 129
Should read:
quote:
Response.Write " <form action=""pop_invite_a_friend.asp?mode=DoIt"" method=""post"" id=""Form1"" name=""Form1"">" & vbNewLine & _
Not:
quote:
Response.Write " <form action=""pop_send_to_friend.asp?mode=DoIt"" method=""post"" id=""Form1"" name=""Form1"">" & vbNewLine & _
Otherwise it won't send the message in the file but will send the message relating to : "Interesting Page" as in sending a topic to a friend
You might also want to change lines 74 and 75 from:
quote:
strSubject = "From: " & Request.Form("YName") & " Interesting Website!"
strMessage = "Hello " & Request.Form("Name") & vbNewline & vbNewline
to:
quote:
strSubject = "Hey " & Request.Form("Name") & " - Check this site out!"
strMessage = "Hello " & Request.Form("Name") & vbNewline & vbNewline
otherwise the subject header of the email looks confusing and the recipient may not know the sender by the sender's forum name
All in all though a good mod to use

reducks87, thanks for the info...it works as a charm now!
I also changed the readonly setting of the message, so that people can add their own info.
Now, I have to find a way to 'log' the mail-activity, so that I can see if it is being abused.
(maybe I can log the info including the IP of the sender to a serverbased txt file, instead of the forumdb) |

Ryan,
I easily installed your mod...it worked as advertised, except that in my case, I had to hard code "default.asp" after the web url so that the link would work (that's probably because of the way the default page on our forum web site is set up).
I also added picking up the sender's First & Last names and used them as a signature line, since the invitee might not recognize the forum name of the person sending the message. You're welcome to my changes if you like. Just let me know.
The final result (for us) is a friendly message that looks like this:

| It's on the way. The changes aren't marked, but since you wrote the original, you'll probably spot them pretty quickly. Just search for the strings YPName and M_FIRSTNAME and that should locate most of the places I made changes / additions. |

| Great! Let me know if I messed it up too badly for you to find everything. |
