How to edit and install the Add-Free Tell-A-Friend e-mail form
Step 1. Copy the three files into a text editor. I recommend using an HTML editor that supports syntax coloring to make the editing easier.
Step 2. Make a page for the Tell-A-Friend form. Save it as "tellafriend.html"
(You can also put the form on several pages, or all of your pages, your choice. Just make sure that the Script file and the Form file get on the same page.)
Step 3. Make a "Thank You" page. This is where your visitors will be automatically sent after they send the emails to their friends.
Step 4. Edit the PHP file as follows:
* Enter your email address where indicated.
* Enter your email subject where indicated.
* Enter the URL of your Thank You page where indicated.
* Enter your website name and a short description where indicated.
* Enter your homepage URL where indicated.
* Enter your privacy policy URL where indicated. (Optional - but recommended)
* Enter your name where indicated.
Save the file as "tellafriend.php"
Step 5. Edit the form file as follows:
* The form is already in a basic table. Change the colors, width, etc. to match your website.
* If you are not using CSS to format text, you will need to edit the font style and size to match your website.
* That's it! Save your changes.
Step 6. Add the form and script to your Tell-A-Friend page, and/or any other page where you want it.
* The script file goes between the <head> and </head> tags
* The form itsself goes between the <body> tags, wherever you want it to show.
Step 7. Add a link to BLT-Web. (Optional, but Very appreciated.. ;o)
Step 8. Upload your new and changed pages. Upload the php file to your root directory.
Final Step - Test Everything ! !
Notes:
* Your host must support PHP for this to work. (Vitrually all of them do.)
* If you make a seperate page for the form, put prominent links on all pages so people can find and use it.
