'Send to a friend' not working for long product titles

[Mike Spike]

Hi,

 

For some reason when using the 'Send to a friend' module and the subject field of an email is long(more than 63 characters including spaces), I get the following error: An error occurred during the process.

(This means, that if the title of the item is more than a few words the email does not send.

[p.s. I am using phpmail()]

 

I have temporally resolved the issue by amending line 106 in 'sendtofriend.php' by removing '$product->name'; and renaming 'A friend sent you a link to' to 'A friend sent you a link to an item', but this is not ideal.

 

Does anyone know how I can resolve the issue? so that the subject field can be more than 63 characters (including spaces)?

 

Thank you

I have contacted Prestashop and have been advised that mail subject is limited to characters!

If anyone else is struggling with this, I suggest you make changes similar to the ones I have suggested above!!

 

If you have any other suggestions, I would be glad to hear them!

 

Thank you
