Tell a Friend free shipping Support Thread

**davewest** · 26 Oct 2008, 03:59 AM

I up-dated the 'Tell A Friend and Shipping is Free' module.

I fixed some bugs, added admin control for editing, deleting and mailing referrals. Also added conditions so it's ether on at all times, or after one of the following,

=> cart total
<= cart total
=> weight
<= weight
=> total Items
<= total Items

I haven't installed this on a live site yet, ran on a testing server. As with any add on, please test it fully before adding to a live site

You can find it here Tell A Friend

Hello,
How can I get it to send the html template to the referred person? For accounts etc zen ends the html version of emails but for tell a friend free shipping I get text emails.. I believe since the person doesn't have an account, they have no email preference set so zen therefore send text email but I have no idea how to change this.

thanks

If you have your email settings to use MIME HTML when sending Emails to true, then it should do both. The code is set up to use your default email settings for the store, not the user. On my tests, it sent the html with text as a backup so if the html was striped, they would still get the text message.

If the html email template is missing, then it would just send text.

Well, I have come across a problem....
in my includes/templates/cherry_zen/templates//tpl_checkout_shipping_default.php on check out I my boxes do not line up with the words I do have the CATCHA version install. It works, it's just not very pretty.

here is the page http://2antioch.org/store/index.php?...ckout_shipping

You'll have to create a dummy account to see the issue.
Thanks for your help so far :).

your site not on, so can't look. if it's just an alignment, you'll have to work with the template to adjust it... I don't have the cherry_zen so would not have a clue on that one.

The css file only has one setting, you can tweak some of it to align things to you template.

Code:

.tellAFriendContent
{
    text-align: left;
    float:left;
    vertical-align: top;
    margin: 0.05em 0em;
}

I'll check back later to see if your site is on yet, or take a screen shot.

and it broke my website. I am trying to get this issue resolved asap.

Thanks

ok got it fixed!

You're missing the class for it.. add the following to your stylesheet.css or place the tellafriend_shipping.css in your template css folder..

Code:

.tellAFriendContent
{
    text-align: left;
    float:left;
    vertical-align: top;
    margin: 0.05em 0em;
}

Once this is added it all should line up.

i have installed this mod but it does not show up anywhere on my site. i have done the install twice so i am sure i have done it right. i also believe i have configured correctly in admin.

i am using zc 1.3.8 with fast easy checkout and easy sign up and login mods. could these other mods be the problem? if so is there a fix? i would really like to be able to use this mod.

thx
