I made a simple mod to only allow registered users to email a story. I did this since the email comes from the pligg email address in the language file. You never know what kind of crap might end up being sent by anonymous users and associated with your pligg email address.

Check it out at: favester.com

Just click "Email this Website"

I also changed the code to produce a much friendlier email. If you have looked at what gets generated by the install, you know it is pretty ugly. You will have to register at my site and send yourself and email of a story to see how it works. That mod will work for registered or anonymous users if you decide to not implement the mod above.

Anyway, if anyone wants it, let me know and I will post it.

you can change the email address the email comes from. And you really didn't have to write a mod to let only registered users use the tell a friend. All you would have had to do is use an if statement around the tell a friend link. Like

{if authenticated eq "true"}

tell a friend link

{/if}

kbeeveer46,

Nice. What does that do when they try to click it ? This displays a message that they need to register. And it is a three liner too, so no biggie.

Others may want the changes I made to the message itself, since the standard one is pretty ugly. Again, simple mod, but makes a much nicer message.

Thanks

Thanks kahunabear,

I'd say absolutely post them... the more mods submitted the better ... devs can check them over and users will always weed out the bad ones or ones they don't want.

I made these changes to recommend.php:

To display a message that you must be logged in:

Before:

if(isset($requestTitle)){
	$requestID = $db->get_var("SELECT link_id FROM " . table_links . " WHERE `link_title_url` = '$requestTitle';");
}else{
	if(!is_numeric($requestID)){
		$requestID = $db->get_var("SELECT link_id FROM " . table_links . " WHERE `link_title_url` = '$requestID';");
	}
}
if(!isset($_REQUEST['email_to_submit'])){ // we're not submitting the form

After:

if(isset($requestTitle)){
	$requestID = $db->get_var("SELECT link_id FROM " . table_links . " WHERE `link_title_url` = '$requestTitle';");
}else{
	if(!is_numeric($requestID)){
		$requestID = $db->get_var("SELECT link_id FROM " . table_links . " WHERE `link_title_url` = '$requestID';");
	}
}
if (!$current_user->user_login){
	echo "<br>Must be logged in to email.<br>";
	return;
}
if(!isset($_REQUEST['email_to_submit'])){ // we're not submitting the form

To make a more readable email message:

Before:

$body = $message . "\r\n" . Included_Text_Part1 . $current_user->user_login . Included_Text_Part2 . $link_url . ' "' . $link->title . '" ' .  $link->content;

After:

if ($current_user->user_login){
	$body = $message . "\r\n\r\n" . Included_Text_Part1 ."\r\n\r\n". $current_user->user_login .", ". Included_Text_Part2 ." ".$link->title." - " .$link->content."\r\n\r\n" ."Here is a link to the story: ". $link_url;
}
else{
	$body = $message . "\r\n\r\n" . Included_Text_Part1 ."\r\n\r\nAnonymous, ". Included_Text_Part2 ." ".$link->title." - " .$link->content."\r\n\r\n" ."Here is a link to the story: ". $link_url;		
}

The else is if you don't do the first mod and just want the message to say it is from "Anonymous" for non registered users.
