[request] Send to a friend

I require a ‘send this post to a friend’ plugin.

Here’s what I need.
+ + + +
Simple Version:
+ + + +
Need a query form attached to articles (similar to comments) that will allow users to send an article link to an email, if the users adds their information such as
1. person’s name and email that is sending
2. person’s name and email that will be receiving
3. ability to add more names and emails
4. captcha
5. send button

+ + + +
Complex Version:
+ + + +
I need to store the usernames and emails of both the people sending the message and to whom they are sending the emails too.

Need a query form attached to articles (similar to comments) that will allow users to send an article link to an email, if the users adds their information such as
1. person’s name and email that is sending
2. person’s name and email that will be receiving
3. ability to add more names and emails
4. drop down that will contain messages that will come from a particular section (this section will also have a picture associated with it)
5. ability to either send now (selected) or send on a particular date in the future
6. ability to repeat sending files yearly
7. select type of occasion (checkboxes with birthday, anniversary, just because, and an option where the user can add their own occasion into an input field with max 100 characters and delete bad words
8. preview message
9. captcha
10. send button
11. checkbox and i want to know when you have new updates (next project)
12. pref ajax, don’t want extra page refreshing

Please costs for either when possible or if you know of a plugin that does this already, please advise.

These are a couple of plugins I’ll be requesting. Please advise if more clarity is required using the forums or email me directly.

Cheers,
Zeus

Hi zeus,

1 and 1/2 hour after your first post you can’t awaiting an answer – on a saturday.

But fwyw: Most of these things can be done with zem_contact_reborn.

Do you mind posting what you put inside your <txp:zem_contact> tags? ;-)
I’ll post my buildout next.

<!—this is in the form for the article—>
<txp:zem_contact to=“you@example.com” send_article=“1”><br/> <txp:zem_contact_email label=“Recipient Email” send_article=“1” /><br/> <txp:zem_contact_email label=“Your Email” /><br/>
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label=“Add a message” /> <txp:zem_contact_submit label=“Send Article” /><br/>
</txp:zem_contact>
<txp:zem_contact_send_article />

I haven’t dived into exactly how much stuff I can edit using zem_contact_reborn, but this gave me a simple way of accomplishing what I had to… for now.
