Tell a Friend in main Product Info page

[CC]

Hi Guys n Gals.

 

Just another quick question.

 

I have moved the Tell a Friend box from the right column into my main page in products info.

 

Problem is, when you try to send a Tell a Friend mail, it adds a product to the cart instead! The command seems straight enough, but for some reason the add to cart function works when I am really trying to click send to a friend.

 

Does anybody know the cure for this?

Has it happened to others when you have moved it to the middle and out of a column?

 

Advice please if you know why?

BTW - I have added the qty box to the product info page too, so the input may be getting confused somewhere...

 

Cheers

try moving your "tell a friend" input box outside of the <form name="cart_quantity" method="post" ......></form> tag

 

the tell a friend box is itself a form as well, and by placing it inside another form causes the program to submit data of both forms.

Cheers mate.

 

I thought I had checked that already.

My mistake. Soz.

You know when you did yours, how did you remove the box styling from the box itself.

 

I know it is created in the array for the boxes styling, but seeing as I have moved the box out of the columns now, I dont want the same style, but I think I am making a big job out of changing the $info_box_contents part of the array.

I'm sure there is a simple way to change this.

 

Cheers

I added a table to infobox array and assigned a css to it...something like this:

 

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0>

<TR>

<TD class=someclass align=right>

<form name="tell_a_friend" method="get" action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, '', 'NONSSL', false) . '">' . tep_draw_input_field('send_to', '', 'size="10"') . ' ' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $new_products['products_id']) . '</div><br>' . BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT . '</form></div></div></TD>

<TR>

<Table>

 

Maybe this will help

oops sorry for the late response, looks like Tomzzzy has already answered your question, but if you want the exact mod i did, here it is:

 

<?php echo '<table width="300" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><form name="tell_a_friend" method="get" action="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, '', 'NONSSL', false) . '"><tr><td colspan="2" class="main">' . BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT . '</td></tr><tr><td width="100">' .tep_draw_input_field('send_to', 'recipient@e-mail', 'size="20"') . '</td><td width="200" align="left">' . ' ' . 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() . '</form><br></td></tr></table>' ?>
