Using 3.6.8, I did the following changes:
1. Open sendmessage.php:
a) Find:
// ############################### start send to friend permissions ###############################
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'sendtofriend' OR $_POST['do'] == 'dosendtofriend') replace with:
// ############################### start send to friend permissions ###############################
if ($_REQUEST['refer'] == 'sendtofriend' OR $_POST['refer'] == 'dosendtofriend')b) Find:
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('sendtofriend') . '");'); Replace with:
if ($_REQUEST['refer'])
{
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('refertofriend') . '");');
} else {
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('sendtofriend') . '");');
} Add new template "refertofriend" with the following contents:
$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head><title>$vboptions[bbtitle] - Refer $vboptions[bbtitle] to a Friend</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar
<form action="sendmessage.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[outerborderwidth]" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td>

<input type="hidden" name="url" value="$url" />
<input type="hidden" name="refer" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="dosendtofriend" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
$footer
</body>
</html>
3. Add this link anywhere in your header, forumhome or footer template.
sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1If you want to add it to your footer you can do this.
Edit the footer template.
Find:
<a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a> -change to:
<a href="$vboptions[contactuslink]">$vbphrase[contact_us]</a> - <a href="sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1
">Refer Friends</a> -
but when I go to access: sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1 I receive an error message saying I do not have permission to view the page.
