I have made significant changes to 4.6 version as well as made compatible with 4.7

Hi Scott,

Wasn't sure how to get in touch with you since you are not accepting Drupal msgs. A client of mine was requesting a "send email about about this link" feature in a site that they have. I started looking at your tellafriend module and figured it was a good start; but had a couple short comings:

- it won't work with new 4.7 forms API
- it doesn't seem to include the link to the site in the email that gets sent; not sure if i am maybe missing the point then of the module or maybe i just missed something in the code???
- it doesn't use the generic mail wrapper (user_mail) - using the mail wrapper allows someone to set up their drupal site to use something like phpmailer class rather than php mail function - this allows someone to send mail using an authenticated SMTP server (which i needed to do).

Anyway - i have made all these changes and figured i could just send you the new code so that you could commit. I have a 4.6 and 4.7 version to "submit" so i guess iiwll need to send 2 of these "bug reports".

cheers,

=================== more info ===================

changes include:

- works with 4.7 (i.e. uses new forms API)

- added page URL into msg body; and shows this in the form to fill out
   -  add <strong>[link placeholder]</strong> into “Message Text” in tellafriend settings to put referring page URL into email body.

- pulled senders name from subject – not sure why you’d want it there; but can always put it back if it makes sense to you.

- switched to use mail wrapper rather than php mail function
   -  pretty sure this is how all modules should be since that way they can use phpmailer and use authenticated smtp servers
   -   not sure why this isn’t in Drupal by default – I had to get this working first since I needed it

You can check it out on my site at http://petersplace.allanalog.com (click mail icon in header)

PS – formatting of the email that gets sent could stand to be cleaned up a little. Just didn’t get to it.
