Hi Rich.
About the
email this page we have implemented it with openacs 3.2.x, we created a specific proc that we atach to the pages (just a few) that we want to be referred (check at
lectario, is in spanish, the link says
Enviar esta pagina a un amigo), I suggest you to attach the proc at the ad_header proc so it will automaticly get the url to be sent and maybe if you want to can save that email in the DB as we do in order to know what the users are liking. Its better to just send a link with a comment by the sender, so you gain another visitor, most of the sites with this feature does this, I know because before doing the module I seek for that.
For the
print this page stuff you can do the next thing:
at ad_header add the following things:
something that grab the actual url and encode it to a new link with an extra variable, the magic one that will say to you if you want printer format.
Lets say you'll a new link like this:
<a href=the_actual_url?the_actual_vars...
&print=true>print this page</a>
Now, you need to modify the ad_return_template proc, it needs to see if the print variable is set and it has a true value it will do the same is it does but redirect to a template that you define in your parameters file or inside the proc or wherever you want!
How do you look this?? I think this is a easy way to acomplish what you are looking for.
I hope this help!
