Broken link from Tell a Friend button

I recently did a check of all links on my site. I found multiple broken links, and am in the process of correcting them. I never realized it could be as difficult as it is.

One problem link is the tell a friend button. It sends you to a page not found.

I have it set that only logged in users can use it.

Any suggestions?

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

Does it work with the setting so that guests can use it?

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

It doesn't work at all.

In the admin/email settings, I have it set so only registered users can access it to cut down on the spammers using it.

The only way I found that it didn't work was by creating an online sitemap, and it had a link checker with it.

I logged in, and tried the button...and got the page not found page.

It is the mistkits link in my sig

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

No one else with suggestions?
Can i just get rid of it if I can't get it to work? That won't break anything will it?

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

What happens if you switch to the Classic Template ... does the Tell a Friend work now?

Try reloading the directory and files for:
/includes/pages/tell_a_friend

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

Linda,

Changing to classic gives the same results...the tell a friend link goes to a page not found.

I searched for an includes/pages/tell_a_friend, but I don't have one.

I have:
includes/modules/sideboxes/tell_a_friend.php
includes/templates/future_zen/sideboxes/tpl_tell_a_friend.php
includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_tell_a_friend.php
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_tell_a_friend_default.php

I have Ver. 1.3.8 if that matters.

Re: Broken link from Tell a Friend button

Get a clean copy of Zen Cart v1.3.8a and load the directory and all files for:
/includes/modules/pages/tell_a_friend

It appears to be missing from your server ...
