Description
Setting feature_tell_a_friend=n doesn't affect the "Email This Post" functionality for the blog, so visitors is always offered to mail the link for a post. Imho the admin should be able to choose if this is allowed or not.
Solution

Since the "Email This Post" functionality for the Blog uses internally its own implementation for this purpose, there (imho) three possibilities to change this:

  1. Use tiki-tell_a_friend.php instead of tiki-send_blog_post.php for the blog, and have only one implementation for the same purpose instead of two.
  2. Let tiki-send_blog_post.php respect the feature_tell_a_friend=n choice.
  3. Add a feature_send_blog_post=[y|n] for the admin, with tiki-send_blog_post.php respecting just this feature.


Thereby point 3 would be a very flexible solution.
The most flexible solution (again imho) would be a combination of # 1 and 3: All Email sending thru "Tell a Friend" and admin choices for:

  • let wiki use tell a friend
  • let article use tell a friend
  • let blog use tell a friend
  • let forum use tell a friend
  • the point is clear, isn't it 😉
