Link sharing my forum via email [SOLVED]
A member has asked me how she may share our forum with her friends. I told her to just email them with the site URL . . . but it set me wishing for a more user friendly method. Is there a script that would open a new window with an email client ready with a link and a brief intro to my forum? If so, how do I go about doing that?
Could it be incorporated into a navbar button? If not - where would I place something like this?
Thanks, Bpoetic

Hm... something similar is already available through the "Actions!" menu to the top right of each forum and topic. It basically does what you are searching for I think, though I don't think it's possible to customize the preset-text there.
For a navigation bar entry, you can use this one as redirection URL:
http://bpoetry24-7.com/tell_friend.forum
If you want to place a button at your portal, a forum description or anywhere else, use this html:
<a href="http://bpoetry24-7.com/tell_friend.forum"><img src="IMAGE LINK" /></a>

A problem . . . Found solution
LAST EDIT:
I found that if we use the direct link: http://bpoetry24-7.com/tell_friend.forum rather than the html version - it is a working nav button! Thank you, Sunny!! bev
Sunny . . . you're the best thing since the lightbulb! Thank you so very much. bev
EDIT:
You're still the best thing since the lightbulb - BUT, I'm having a bit of a problem with the nav button.
Look at this:
The icon is not clickable - but the red X is. When you click it, a pop up window goes to a 404 *Page Not Found* page. Then I'm taken to my Portal. I never get the email-a-friend option.
Here's your html: <a href="http://bpoetry24-7.com/tell_friend.forum"><img src="IMAGE LINK" /></a>
Here's the icon pic url: Tell A Friend
What can we do? Thank you so much, Sunny! bev

Re: Link sharing my forum via email [SOLVED]
Did you maybe use the whole html code as the redirection URL?
If you create a Nav Link, use the following data for the fields:
Menu: Something to identify, will not show up on the forum
Picture: The URL to your image. https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img122/175/tellafriendvg6.png
Text: This is the text that will appear for that button if you hover your mouse
Redirection URL: Just the target link. http://bpoetry24-7.com/tell_friend.forum
That way it should work.
