"Invite a Friend" populate fields?

For some reason the Javascript to "Post Reply" on the original forum post of this message doesn't work, so I've started a new one. This is what was said so far:

http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/ticket/1898

Thanks, AlexT, but I don't quite understand how that support ticket relates to my problem.

Anyway, I've found a workaround solution as follows:

In tellfriend.php:

Changed
$profileID = 0;
to
(int)$_COOKIE['memberID'] = 0;

Changed
'name' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'name',
'caption' => _t("_Your name"),
'value' => $sVisitorName
to
'name' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'name',
'caption' => _t("_Your first name"),
'value' => $aVisitorInfo['FirstName']
),
'surname' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'surname',
'caption' => _t("_Your surname"),
'value' => $aVisitorInfo['Surname']

This adds a field for surname and changes the "Your name" field to "Your first name".

In order to show both names at the bottom of the "Invite a Friend" email template:

Changed:
$message = str_replace( "<FromName>", $_POST['name'], $message );
to
$message = str_replace( "<FromName>", $_POST['name'] . '&nbsp;' . $_POST['surname'], $message );

In lang-en.php:

Added:
'_Your first name' => 'Your first name',

'_Your surname' => 'Your surname',

Changed:
'_Your email' => 'Your email',
to
'_Your email' => 'Your registered email',

The only "problem" I now have is that the link within the email template only shows the base site URL and does not include "?idFriend=1", although I didn't actually change this part of the php.

Any ideas on that one? Is this suffix required at all?

Apart from that, it all works fantastically!

Hmmm... cheered too soon...

It seems that only "admin" user is able to successfully send emails via "invite a friend". I just tried to invite a friend under a "standard" login and got the "email send failed" message. Really annoying that this message does not give any further indication as to what is wrong...

Why can standard users not invite friends? Where is this setting? I've checked all possible settings in membership levels and advanced settings, but nothing really refers to being able or not able to invite friends.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Try to apply this changeset: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/changeset/13743

Thanks AlexT - that worked up to a point. I completely replaced my old "tellfriend.php" with the new one from the changeset. The fields for login name and email address did indeed fill in automatically. That part worked.

When I get to send it though, I get "email send failed".

However, when I replace the bottom section from "function SendTellFriend()" onwards with the old code from my original tellfriend.php - the email is sent successfully. Below is the code that fails to send from the changeset tellfriend.php:

* send "tell a friend" email
*/

function SendTellFriend() {
global $profileID;

$sRecipient = clear_xss($_POST['friends_emails']);
$sSenderName = clear_xss($_POST['name']);
$sSenderEmail = clear_xss($_POST['email']);
if ( strlen( trim($recipient) ) <= 0 )
return 0;
if ( strlen( trim($sSenderEmail) ) <= 0 )
return 0;

$sLinkAdd = '';
$rEmailTemplate = new BxDolEmailTemplates();
if ( $profileID )
{
$aTemplate = $rEmailTemplate -> getTemplate( 't_TellFriendProfile', $profileID ) ;
$sLinkAdd = 'idFriend='. $profileID;
$Link = getProfileLink($profileID, $sLinkAdd);
}
else
{
$aTemplate = $rEmailTemplate -> getTemplate( 't_TellFriend' ) ;
$Link = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT;
}

$headers .= "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $sSenderName ) . "?= <{$sSenderEmail}>";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n" . $headers;
$headers2 .= "-f{$sRecipient}";

$message = $aTemplate['Body'];
$message = str_replace( "<Link>", $Link, $message );
$message = str_replace( "<FromName>", $sSenderName, $message );
return mail( $sRecipient, $aTemplate['Subject'], $message, $headers, $headers2 );
}

?>

Below is the code that does send from original tellfriend.php:

function SendTellFriend() {
global $profileID;

$iVisitorID = (isMember() || isAdmin()) ? (int)$_COOKIE['memberID'] : 0;

if ( strlen( trim($_POST['friends_emails']) ) <= 0 )
return 0;
if ( strlen( trim($_POST['email']) ) <= 0 )
return 0;

$rEmailTemplate = new BxDolEmailTemplates();
if ( $profileID )
{
$aTemplate = $rEmailTemplate -> getTemplate( 't_TellFriendProfile', $profileID ) ;
}
else
{
$aTemplate = $rEmailTemplate -> getTemplate( 't_TellFriend' ) ;
}

$recipient = $_POST['friends_emails'];

$headers .= "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $_POST['name'] ) . "?= <{$_POST['email']}>";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n" . $headers;
$headers2 .= "-f{$_POST['email']}";

$sLinkAdd = ($iVisitorID) ? 'idFriend='. $iVisitorID : '';

if ( $profileID )
$Link = getProfileLink($profileID, $sLinkAdd);
else
$Link = BX_DOL_URL_ROOT . ( $sLinkAdd ? "?{$sLinkAdd}" : '' );

$message = $aTemplate['Body'];
$message = str_replace( "<Link>", $Link, $message );
$message = str_replace( "<FromName>", $_POST['name'], $message );

return mail( $recipient, $aTemplate['Subject'], $message, $headers, $headers2 );
}

?>

Because I wanted to show first and last names in the email, I adjusted the script to include those fields in the following areas:

In the page components, replaced the 'name" array with:

'name' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'name',
'caption' => _t("_Your first name"),
'value' => $aProfileInfo['FirstName']
),
'surname' => array(
'type' => 'text',
'name' => 'surname',
'caption' => _t("_Your surname"),
'value' => $aProfileInfo['LastName']
),

In the function:  function SendTellFriend():

$message = str_replace( "<FromName>", $_POST['name'] . '&nbsp;' . $_POST['surname'], $message );

OK - almost there. I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!

There is one things which I cannot seem to fix:

When I click on "Invite a Friend" - the header goes to "Invite a friend to view the profile" while I wanted the plain Invite A Friend header. Consequently, the wrong email template is used as well inviting the friend to view the Profile instead of the site in general. In the original tellfriend.php, I got the right email template of "Invite a Friend".

Any ideas on how to ensure that the right email template is sent and that the right header is used?

Thanks,

This may not have anything to do with the tellfriend.php script itself, but rather my settings in Dolphin 7.0.

Whenever I use "invite a friend" when logged in as "admin", I am able to send the message (with the script as it is currently, even though it sends the wrong email). Whenever I log in as a standard user, I get the "email send failed" message.

I've looked through my settings to try and find something about permissions to send emails, but can't find anything that looks like it needs changing. I am able to send ordinary messages through "compose a message" being logged in as a standard user, so I'm not sure what to look for.

If you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

I saw improvements to ticket 1898 in change set 13755, but this still sends the wrong email template, "invite to view profile" instead of "invite a friend".

Hello wizard247!

Yes, there were some inaccuracies with invitations. Now it was fixed, see changeset 13763-64.

Regard

Thanks LeonidS. After incorporating the changeset 13763-64 I was able to adjust this so that the fields "First Name" and "Surname" are shown iso "Nickname" in the form fields (pre-populated) as well as in the email being sent.

Anyone who's interested - here's the full code:
