Hi,

I'm a member of WOMMA.ORG which has really provided a lot of insight into best practices for blogging and creating buzz around an entry. Center to the advise is to place the "email to a friend" at the top of each entry, next to the headline.

I have read the other posts about how this might be done, but it is a bit over my head and looks like i have the potential to wreck havoc on the entire install with my limited knowledge.

Is there anyone who might be willing to help build this code. I can contribute a little $$ and would like to share it with the enter S9y community.

I thought that's what the "e-Mail entry" plugin did. Is it not suitable for your purpose?

WOMMA suggests that the email to a friend icon or link be next to each entry title. as it is now (and I may be doing something wrong here), a user would need to click on a permalink and then SCROLL down to the bottom of the page to see this feature. Most users aren't aware that the feature exists as i currently have it deployed.

Hi!

You could edit the entries.tpl file and place an <a href="#mailentryform'>To the mail entry</a> or something like that html link?

that sounds like a great idea. But would it work on the "homepage" where there are some 15 entries? I ask because i don't see the anchor tag your suggestion references. perhaps i am missing something.

Hi!

You could edit the entries.tpl file and use
so that it would show up in the overview. You'll need to check the form ID, I don't know by heart if it's called "mailentryform" or somethign different.
