Default "Tell A Friend" button not working

[Guest]

I was going through my site running some tests to ensure that all was working properly (it was a dark and stormy night but that doesnt matter) and found that my "Tell A Friend" feature was not working properly.

 

The problem isnt with the tell_a_friend.php file though... its on the menu box button. You can add an email address but then after hitting the button (which should go to the "tell_a_friend.php" page) the next page that shows is the "shopping_cart.php" page.

 

Now to me, this makes no sense and I have read through countless posts to find an answer and even attempted to fix the problem myself without success.

 

Anyone have a suggestion? This is the code found in includes/boxes/tell_a_friend.php:

 

<?php

/*

$Id: tell_a_friend.php,v 1.16 2003/06/10 18:26:33 hpdl Exp $

<!-- tell_a_friend //-->

<tr>

<td>

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND);

 

new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

$info_box_contents[] = array('form' => tep_draw_form('tell_a_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'),

'align' => 'center',

'text' => tep_draw_input_field('to_email_address', '', 'size="10"') . ' ' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT);

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?>

</td>

</tr>

<!-- tell_a_friend_eof //-->

 

Anyone care to take a stab?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Are there any moderators that can help with this? Surely I am not the only one to experience this error.

 

Thanks

Sure, I'll bite. What the heck. It's clear & cold, not a storm in sight. How about a URL so I can take a peek, pls.

LOL

I felt compelled to throw in a bit of story into my post. Considering the weather we have been having in BC lately, I couldnt help the reference to it! Thanks for the offer to take a boo!

 

UPDATE:

I just found out that the Send To Friend button works when a visitor has NOT logged in. But once that visitor HAS logged in, the same button adds the product to the visitor's cart instead of going to the tell_a_friend.php page.

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!

Please advise when providing a URL that the site deals with ADULT MATERIAL. Thanks in advance for helping me explain this to the 11-year old sitting beside me when your site came up...

 

Anyway, when I clicked the tell-a-friend email icon on a product page, it was added to the cart. I was not logged in. I don't know why this is happening to you, except to say that the add to cart link is connected with the email icon. Have you tried replacing the root tell_a_friend.php with the stock version? You could also try setting from false to true on line 15 of that same file and see what happens.

 

In includes/filenames.php, check line approx line 60:

define('FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND', 'tell_a_friend.php');

 

Can't help you more than this, sorry :(
