Well, you use Softaculous, in my opinion it isn't great idea. But of course we can try to fix it.

 

For the first you should turn error reporting in your prestashop, after that - try to use the Send to friend module

 

if any error appear - paste it here

Hi Vekia,

 

There is no error appear.

 

I try to turn on the report by:

going to config/config.inc.php line 29 (actually there is nothing there) then i add

@ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); on line 29

but still there is no error come out. Or is there anyway to turn the error report on on prestashop 1.5.4.1?

ok, so i solved this by adding the language file and language folder in the modules/sendtoafriend/mails & ..../translations/

 

the problem was that by default this module didn't have the romanian language (ro), so i copy paste the english one and renamed the folder into ro and translated the content of the files in that folders + created the ro.php in the translation folder and that's it.

 

hope it will help you

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$value in .../public_html/modules/sendtoafriend/sendtoafriend_ajax.php on line 43

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$value in .../public_html/modules/sendtoafriend/sendtoafriend_ajax.php on line 45

Hello PS Folks,

When I look in dev tools, alle things going ok, but no sending the email.

I use v1.5.4.1, one language.

so in this case you want to use SMTP method.

go to the adv. preferneces > e-mail tab in your back office

 

select the option:

Set my own SMTP parameters. For advanced users ONLY

 

then use this:

mWaWvUa.png

 

remember to use correct SMTP user (your e-mail addres) and SMTP password value

hello @plaza24

 

it looks like problem with the ajax query to the sendtoafriend_ajax.php file located in the module directory. there is a foreach loop:

foreach ($friend_infos as $entry)
 {
  if ($entry->key == "friend_name")
   $friendName = $entry->value;
  else if ($entry->key == "friend_email")
   $friendMail = $entry->value;
  else if ($entry->key == "id_product")
   $id_product = $entry->value;
 }

and the most important variable is a $friend_infos ($friend_infos = Tools::jsonDecode(Tools::getValue('friend'));)

it's strictly related to the ajax post call and to the form:

<form method="post" action="{$request_uri}" class="std">
   <fieldset>
 <div class="product clearfix">
  <a href="{$productLink}" class="img_link"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $cover.id_image, 'small_default')}" alt="" title="{$cover.legend}" /></a>
  <a href="{$productLink}" class="product_desc"><br />{$product->name}</a>
 </div>
 <div id="send_friend_form_content">
  <p class="text">
   <label for="friend-name">{l s='Friend\'s name' mod='sendtoafriend'}</label>
   <input type="text" id="friend-name" name="name" value="{if isset($smarty.post.name)}{$smarty.post.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'|stripslashes}{/if}" />
  </p>
  <p class="text">
   <label for="friend-address">{l s='Friend\'s email' mod='sendtoafriend'}</label>
   <input type="text" id="friend-address" name="email" value="{if isset($smarty.post.name)}{$smarty.post.email|escape:'htmlall'|stripslashes}{/if}" />
  </p>
  <p class="submit">
   <input type="submit" name="submitAddtoafriend" value="{l s='send' mod='sendtoafriend'}" class="button" />
  </p>
 </div>
   </fieldset>
  </form>

(part of the sendtoafriend.tpl file)

 

sorry for the boring introduction :D what to do now? well, you should compare this form code with code that you've got in your own module. values of the fields must be the same as the field names in the ajax .php file in the foreach loop.

 

can i test your website? if so, please share the url

well, this is not bug at all, because in my several installations this module works well.

The problem is a bit different, i've got some workaround, but i'm not sure what's goin on in your store, so i can't say something more... everything depends on it

that's the question. i've got several installations which works very well without any fix

i suppose that everything depends on many aspects like shop configuration and server conf.

 

may i ask you for something?

are you able to check the ajax query (especially result of it) when you're trying to "send" to a friend ?

 

after that i will know everything what's goin on :)

that's right, this is the solution

 

i suppose that this is some kind of "escaping" ;) but really poor ;)

vekia, after removing this .replace(/u/g, '%u'), it is really start working!

so if you think that it is really poor, how to solve this ?

I am having a similar issue using PS 1.5.5.0 and "Send to a Friend" module v.1.2 - However, the mod looks great but is non-functional. When I fill in the fields and  hit the "Send" button I get an error stating "You did not fill required fields" at the top in a red font and nothing happens. But, clearly I have filled these fields in..... any help??? I have included a screenshot as well.

Hello all, please check this Github fix and let me know if this fixes the issue with the module. https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/commit/9d94337c9b6d1c808381f8181de1efc58e6c14e7

Although I have the Version: 1.2 Send to a friend the module. I made the changes and when you click on the link "send to a friend" does absolutely nothing.

 

sendtoafriend-extra.tpl:

 

$('#sendEmail').click(function(){
var datas = [];
$('#fancybox-content').find('input').each(function(index){
var o = {};
o.key = $(this).attr('name');
o.value = $(this).val();
if (o.value != '')
datas.push(o);
});
if (datas.length >= 3)
{
$.ajax({

Hello,

I also had this problem and no solution from the above worked for me.

 

My setup: Version 1.5.6.0, Greek language, English language disabled, my-theme a modified default theme

 

  • In my-theme folder themes/my-theme/modules/sendtoafriend/mails there was only a folder "el" for the Greek language

No English folder. This seemed to be the problem.

 

  1. I coppied the en folder from modules/sendtoafriend/mails to themes/my-theme/modules/sendtoafriend/mails
     
  2. Uninstalled and reinstalled the module sendtoafriend 

And miracle! Everything works fine.

I don't know why, but it starting when remove:

 

.replace(/u/g, '%u')

 

from sendtoafriend-extra.tpl

 

then value is value instead val

 

Why author replace the char?

 

I tried loads of things then had to uninstall, reinstall etc etc but finally found solution. 

I use PS 1.5.4.1 and Sendtofriend 1.2.

The only thing I changed after reinstall was to remove .replace(/u/g, '%u') from sendtoafriend-extra.tpl, as Lukkos had said. And that worked. :) Hope it helps someone.

file: themes\THEME_NAME\modules\sendtoafriend\sendtoafriend-extra.tpl

<form id="f_send_friend_form" onsubmit="return false">

//the fields must be here...

</form>

and

$('#f_send_friend_form').find(':input').each(function(index){

the reason to add <form> tag is some browsers cannot recognizes the script

$('#send_friend_form').find(':input').each(function(index){

 

when "send_friend_form" id not <form> tag.. causing datas.length == 0

HI.

I had  problem with this module as well. (PS 1.5.6.2)

 

Module on front didn’t work – after filling (correctly) the form instead sending msg, gave me an alert  ”You did not fill required fields” and I could do nothing.

 

I checked and compare 2 file:

  1. shop/themes/my-theme/modules/ sendtoafriend /sendtoafriend-extra.tpl

 and

  1. shop/modules/ sendtoafriend /sendtoafriend-extra.tpl

in first the javascript code was:

<script text="javascript">
{literal}
$('document').ready(function(){


	$('#sendEmail').click(function(){
		var datas = [];
		$('.send_friend_form_content').find('input').each(function(index){
			var o = {};
			o.key = $(this).attr('name');
			o.value = $(this).val();
			if (o.value != '')
				datas.push(o);
		});
		if (datas.length >= 3)
		{
			$.ajax({
				{/literal}url: "{$module_dir}sendtoafriend_ajax.php",{literal}
				post: "POST",
				data: {action: 'sendToMyFriend', secure_key: '{/literal}{$stf_secure_key}{literal}', friend: JSON.stringify(datas)},{/literal}{literal}
				dataType: "json",
					success: function(result){
					$('#send_friend_form').modal('hide');
				}
			});
		}
		else
			$('#send_friend_form_error').text("{/literal}{l s='You did not fill required fields' mod='sendtoafriend' js=1}{literal}");
	});
});
{/literal}
</script>

in second:

<script type="text/javascript">
{literal}
$('document').ready(function(){
	$('#send_friend_button').fancybox({
		'hideOnContentClick': false
	});

	$('#sendEmail').click(function(){
        
        var name = $('#friend_name').val();
        var email = $('#friend_email').val();
        var id_product = $('#id_product_comment_send').val();
		if (name && email && !isNaN(id_product))
		{
			$.ajax({
				{/literal}url: "{$module_dir}sendtoafriend_ajax.php",{literal}
				type: "POST",
				headers: {"cache-control": "no-cache"},
				data: {action: 'sendToMyFriend', secure_key: '{/literal}{$stf_secure_key}{literal}', name: name, email: email, id_product: id_product},{/literal}{literal}
				dataType: "json",
				success: function(result) {
					$.fancybox.close();
                    var msg = result ? "{/literal}{l s='Your e-mail has been sent successfully' mod='sendtoafriend'}{literal}" : "{/literal}{l s='Your e-mail could not be sent. Please check the e-mail address and try again.' mod='sendtoafriend'}{literal}";
                    var title = "{/literal}{l s='Send to a friend' mod='sendtoafriend'}{literal}";
                    fancyMsgBox(msg, title);
				}
			});
		}
		else
			$('#send_friend_form_error').text("{/literal}{l s='You did not fill required fields' mod='sendtoafriend' js=1}{literal}");
	});
});
{/literal}
</script>

I just copy-paste the javascript code from 2 into 1 and everything working just fine.

 

Hope it will help someone

Hi,

 

I face to the same issue. Using Firebug, I can check that my browser transforms the following code

if (name && email && !isNaN(id_product))

into

if (name && email && !isNaN(id_product))

Then I modify the code using Firebug, it works correctly. But this is not the good answer for my customers. :(

Hi, I'm using the latest version of presta and this thing does not send any mail. All existing solutions do not make any sense because they are already implemented in the latest version of presta.Though other mails from my shop work perfectly. Could someone try to inspect my website if I share the link?
