Email to Friend

Hi bastian,

That's a great idea, and I'm sorry to say we don't have anything pre-configured for that. That said, there are plenty of free "tell a friend" PHP scripts on the web, and, with a little PHP knowledge and google searching, it wouldn't be hard to set this up on your site.

If you'd need help with something like this, we could help set this up for you through consulting. Let me know if you're interested in that.

My recommendation is to use a third party script such as addthis.com

In addition to emailing to a friend, you can save to all the popular social networking sites and print the current page.

Pick and choose what icons you want to display and even get analytics on who saved to what and printed what page...

Another huge advantage of this service vs a send-to-friend script is that you aren't using your sendmail or php mail to send it. I had this script on a few sites and the spam robots got a hold of it. Next thing I know, I was being contacted by my hosting provider with abuse complaints. IPs were added to Spam Lists and it was hell trying to get it all sorted out.

Use the third party company and you will be far better off!

Thank you for the response. How do you think Add This compares with Share This http://www.sharethis.com ?

Could both be used at the same time?

Thank you,

Thanks Kenny and Deborah! That's a great solution! :D
