New node like story but with email function

Posted by leaflying on October 29, 2006 at 12:21am

Hi there,

I am looking for a solution that can put an extra input box for a target email address when, and only when, create a story-like node. The email contains first 50 letters of the node content along with a invitation message and a url to the node. Upon receiving the email, the node creator's friend can go there and put some comments. (drupal 4.7)

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks.

You can do this with the Content Construction Kit module and a combination of Action and Workflow, or you could try the E-mail This Page module, all of which are on http://drupal.org/project/Modules

Thanks eliza411. I tried CCK

Thanks eliza411. I tried CCK and created "body", "sender" and "recipient". But the new node I submitted showed "sender" and "recipient" on the page. No good.

I really just want to treat them as transient data, at least hidden fields.

I tried email-this page before, but with that, the user has to create a node first and click again to send out the email. It's good but not good enough. I want to combine 2 things into 1 click. Is it possible?

Any suggestion? Thanks.
