Email a Friend template missing

AbleMods · Post by **AbleMods** » Thu Nov 01, 2007 6:15 am

Guys,

I resolved the issues with my upgrade from Beta 2 to RC1 and it's working well now. All the upgrade steps were completed without error except one.

I do not have an existing email template for Send to Friend. So I cannot perform the Step 1 of the post-upgrade instructions. The template S"end Product to Friend" isn't listed as a choice.

Suggestions?

Hello Joe,

subject:

Code: Select all

${fromName} wants you to see this item at $store.Name

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

No problem, thanks for the html.

What do I use for the FROM address, TO address and the trigger options?

Hello Joe,

There isn't a trigger, it's set on the email settings page. The from address and to address are set by the customer when they use the feature.

Won't let me save it - says From and To addresses require a value.

Hello Joe,

just put something into the fields then. We ignore the values.
