New subject: [Mediawiki-l] Email this article to a friend link

29 Mar 2007

I have created the Template:Email page as per wikipedia (see bottom of
email) and it works fine. I have a nice icon and the 'email to a friend'
text to go along with it.

The one problem is that the creation of the email depends on a client side
email client. Clicking on the link attempts to open Outlook etc.

What I would far prefer is a simple form which the user can input an email
address and click on send. This would mean they can send from a machine with
no email client.

Any ideas on whether this is feasible?

Thanks,
Paul
