Description
Greetings,
Since all of my nodes are custom themed the Forward link is not appearing. What is the code snippet I need to add to the node source code to get the Forward link and form to appear? I tried doing a search in the issues and did not find it. My apologies if this has already been addressed. Cheers, Kevin

Even in custom themed nodes, you should still be outputting the $links variable somewhere. Here is code that should respect most of the forward settings, if you need to do it separately from the $links variable:
<?php$type = (variable_get('forward_link_type', 0)) ? node_get_types("name", $node) : 'page';
print l(t(variable_get('forward_link_title', 'Email this !type'), array('!type' => $type)), 'forward', array('query' => 'path=node/'.$node->nid));
?>
Of course, you can pare that down quite a bit if you don't need the admin settings to be respected. The main thing is link path is 'forward' and the query string needs to be in the format 'page=path/to/any/page'. So this'd be the simplest version:
<?phpprint l(t('Email this page'), 'forward', array('query' => 'path=node/'.$node->nid));
?>

thank seanr,
that's just what i needed. also, is there a variation on that snippet for using the embedded expanding form instead of linking to another page with the form? cheers, Kevin

I did want to mention that of course I have configured the settings in admin to use form instead of link. However, this code only permits usage of link if i'm correct? cheers, kevin

If you have forward set to show the form, then you should be able to just print $node->content['forward'] in your theme.

that doesn't work. I just get the word Array as output.

Sorry, should be $node->content['forward']['#value'].

Thanks. This is really STRANGE but it works in Firefox but not IE. How could that be???

Sorry, I'm a real dolt. That was just a permissions issue. It works perfect. Thanks
