View Full Version : Allow admin to have sendtofriend.php3 drop user's email address into

I'd like to see the ability to configure vB to have the user's name and email address dropped into the "From:" field in the sendtofriend.php3 template, so that people who receive vB-generated emails with recommended message threads won't inadvertently send their replies (for example, "thanks for your email") to the message boards administrator (which is how sendtofriend.php3 is hard-wired now).

I've hacked mine to have the "From:" field be the name and email address of the user who clicked on the "Send this message to a friend" - here's the changed line in sendtofriend.php3:

mail("\"$sendtoname\" <$sendtoemail>",$emailsubject,$message,"From: \"$fromname via BenefitsBoards.net\" <$fromemail>");

Here's the original line:

mail("\"$sendtoname\" <$sendtoemail>",$emailsubject,$message,"From: \"$bbtitle Messenger\" <$webmasteremail>");
