Themeing output from Send to Friend

Last updated on

  1. go to your theme folder
  2. add the following function to your template.php 

    <?php
/*Templating for Send Module*/
function YOURTHEME_send_body($values) {
  # send module can email multiple nodes, but my implementation sends only one..
  # so this hopefully not break anything, node_load function will grab all other details for the
  # node that the user is emailing
  $node_details = node_load($values['nids']['0']);
  ## Adding my site banner
  $body = '<hr /><img src="http://example.com/logo.gif" /><br />';
  ## adding node title
  $body .= '<h2><a href="http://example.com/'.$node_details->path.'">'.$node_details->title.'</a></h2><br/>';
  ## adding full body, you might change this to only teaser
  $body .= $node_details->body;


  $template .= $values['template'];
  if ($values['message']) {
    $message = '<div class="messages">'.check_markup($values['message']).'</div>';
  }
  $replace = array('%message', '%body');
  $values  = array($message, $body);

  return str_replace($replace, $values, $template);
}
?>
  3. For testing, I used the following code. Its helpful when you have complicated CCK fields and want to debug your code. If you use gmail , use the "show original text" to see the actual values of the array. 

    <?php
/*Templating for Send Module*/
function YOURTHEME_send_body($values) {
  $node_details = node_load($values['nids']['0']);
  ## just dump everything into email body
  $body = print_r($node_details,TRUE);

  $template .= $values['template'];
  if ($values['message']) {
    $message = '<div class="messages">'.check_markup($values['message']).'</div>';
  }
  $replace = array('%message', '%body');
  $values  = array($message, $body);

  return str_replace($replace, $values, $template);
}
?>
