Tell a Friend small issue

[Moander]

I have a question/issue I could use some help on.....

I searched and read alot of threads before I posted this. None of the threads I found provided a fix for my particular problem.....

Using Integramod 1.41, new install, subBlack theme.

Site: http://tubeworks.mortality.net

Problem:

On the main nav menu, there is a link for Tell a Friend. When I use this link, which I would expect it to put the URL of the site into the email, the resulting email yields:

--------------------------------
Hi,
I just read the topic >><< at Tubeworks Reprise and thought you might be interested. Here is the link:

As you can see, no site URL. Again, this link is in the main, default nav menu.

Now, when I'm viewing a News Story, or a forum topic, and use the Tell a Friend link at the story or topic, the email it yields is 100% correct, example:

----------------------------------------------

Hi,
I just read the topic >>Testing BK Butler Topic Icon<< at Tube Works Reprise and thought you might be interested. Here is the link: http://tubeworks.mortality.net/portal.php?topic_id=3

Go and read it and if you want to reply you can register for your own account if you have not done so already.

So, the local links for Tell a Friend work fine, it's the main nav menu link that yields no URL......

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I do not currently have any 1.4.1 installs going. I am currently testing IM3 now. BUT I will toss a test install up on my server and see what I can make happen. Maybe you will get lucky and Helterskelter or Cannon will chime in here soon on this one. I did not ever bump into that problem in all the years I ran a 1.4.1 web site.

the link in the main menu does not have access to viewtopic so it does not know the post id.
The proper link is in the viewtopic navigation bar. It looks like an envelope.

If you want to always send your sites url in the email, you need to edit 2 files

$mail_body = str_replace("{SITENAME}", $board_config['sitename'], $mail_body);

AFTER, ADD

Code: Select all

$mail_body = str_replace("{SITEURL}", $board_config['news_base_url'], $mail_body);

AFTER, ADD

Code: Select all

"SITEURL" => $board_config['news_base_url'],

OPEN
