Have anyone experienced this before?

I have installed the Send module (downloaded latest 4.6.0 version, not cvs). Installed and configured following the INSTALL.txt 100%. But when I view a node type where the functionality is enabled there is no send button or link. Why?

I enabled the functionality for story nodes and created several story nodes, but nothing :/

Thanks for any help!

No sorry. I just abandoned the function from my site.

I should have 'replied' to my own post earlier.

I did actually get this working, but as is typical in Drupal, it can be less than entirely intuitive where you have to adjust the settings. In this case, using 4.7, I think the steps were:

  • install send module folder in modules folder
  • Home > administer > modules > Enable 'send' module
  • Home > administer > send modules (to set up the tables, and configure)
  • Home > administer > access control > assign 'permissions' to desired role (for me, I use a separate administrator than user/1, so I always have to enable even administrators to perform tasks...)
  • Home > administer > settings > content types > 'page' content type > enable 'send to friend'

I think the step I was missing was settings > content types, but it sounds like you had that one.

Thanks, great post - the only thing that pointed me in the right direction.

Also, once you do all this, the correct URL to create a link is /send/send/node_id

It took me almost 3 hours to figure out how to get this module to work, and I get it now. If anyone is stuck, send me a message here and I'd be glad to help. Also, can someone PLEASE fix the install.txt file to include the right URL to get a link, as well as the great info above for the rest of the community? I have not submitted patches yet, and it's 1:30 am for me...

any insight?

I think the thing I expected 'send' to be able to do (along with mimemail) is e-mail a given node to all users. But maybe mail, http://drupal.org/node/10227, which was abandoned for 4.7 in deference to send+mimemail, could only send to individual e-mail addresses as well.
