Send link to a friend - zem_contact

Is there any way with zem_contact_send_article to send the link to an article without first having to hit the send article link/button?
(which result in the url ?zem_contact_send_article=yes and then shows the form)

To make it a bit clearer. I want every article to show the send article form instead of showing the link to the form.

Can you do this?

Thanks
Peejee

Could you copy that form from the HTML source to where you need it and use TXP tags to make it link to the specific article?

The quick and dirty way would probably be to add this just above the form:

<txp:php>
  $_GET['zem_contact_send_article']='yes';
</txp:php>

Thanks to peejee for thinking of this idea and thanks to Ruud for the solution. Am now using this method on my site. It’s better than clicking a link and then filling out the form (which might be at the bottom of a long article) and also doesn’t raise the duplicate content issue. THANK YOU!

Re: Send link to a friend - zem_contact

I have a related question about zem_contact_send_article-

I’d like to have a ‘send this article’ link to a lightbox page with the form in it and am having trouble targeting the page (&zem_contact_send_article=yes) correctly to do it..
any suggestions?
