Ok, I've got the tip a friend feature running on my site (eZ 3.4.4) but I want the whole article to be emailed to the friend and not just the link. Am I right in assuming that the template I'm after is tipafriend.php? Any tips for getting it to do what I want it to do?

Many thanks

Great, I've found those templates so all I now need to do is figure out how, with my basic PHP skills, to get the whole article to be emailed!

Hi Bill

I am not sure whether it the same for eZ 3.4.4,but on eZ 3.8.3 the variable $node_id is available in the template tipafriendmail.tpl and in the template itself the node_id is used to fetch the node object itself.
So the only thing you need to do is to add the html for the display of the node to the tipafriendmail template. No PHP is needed, just template language like for every other template. Just have a look at the other templates you use to display a node to get a good starting point.

Good luck

Ok, many thanks for that Claudia, you now have me on the right track.

I still have a couple of problems however. All emails sent all include the paragraph.tpl file from design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezxmltags/ This, of course, gets translated from a html paragraph break to <p> tag on the emails. How would I get around excluding the paragraph.tpl from the tipafriend section? Could I make the tipafriend section html friendly?


{$node.object.data_map.title.content|wash()}
{$content_object.published|l10n( date )})
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.thumbnail image_class=medium alignment=right}
{section show=$node.object.data_map.intro.content.is_empty|not}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.intro}
{section show=$node.object.data_map.body.content.is_empty|not}
{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.body}

Hi Bill

I don't know whether this is possible. Apart from that I am not sure what you mean by html friendly - imho a <p> tag is very html friendly.
