That is a much welcomed add-on, thanks!

I followed your link to the demo but I get a page-load error "The server at demo.fido-x.net is taking too long to respond."

To make this "optional" would (in reality) require building an administrative component for it (something it doesn't have and doesn't really need). However (when I get around to writing them), the installation instructions will tell you how to turn it off if you don't want it (it will just be a matter of commenting one line of code).

An alternative to the above method, would be to build it as a column module. This could be done as an independent module (like the modules we're all used to), or it could be a "child" module of another module (eg. Information) which would just add a "link" to the page in the module.

The "alternative" method is probably what I will use when I'm ready to make it available. However, I would like to point out that, since this is something that has been asked for (and those asking have said they would pay for it), there will be a small price tag attached when it is released. Or, I could have 2 different versions, a "lite" version (the page only) and a "full" version which would include the administrative side as well. Which would you prefer?

I currently have something that does this, but not quite as nicely as you are offering.
I currently have a straight forward html page that is accessed via an iframe from my information box.

I'd be interested in this once it is released.

The basic package is now available, and can be obtained from here.

This package allows your customers to recommend your site to their friends. Sends an email with a link back to your site. Also sends an email to the site administrator with a list of those who received the recommendation.

Easy to install and set up. Full installation instructions included.

This is very good, but I think this should be beside BOOKMARK in the top, not in INFORMATION.

I know nothing about PHP and SQL, but I still try my best to understand it.

No sense in wasting time getting this one out there.

For the future of this, I'm thinking about releasing a "pro" version which will be more modular with an administrative component allowing you to enable/disable the module and give you the option of whether or not to send an email to the site administrator. When enabled, a link will show on the product page and, rather than sending a link back to your site, the email that is sent will have a link to the specific product page OR a pdf file could be generated and sent as an attachment (configurable in the admin).

That's not a bad idea! If you want to put the link in the header beside the bookmark, you will need to add the code for the link into the header controller and template files ("catalog/controller/common/header.php" and "catalog/view/theme/default/template/common/header.tpl").

I still can't see the demo so maybe my question is answered by the functionality.

This module should have the senders name AND email-address required if you want to use it in Europe.

I've tracked down what the problem was. When I set up the DNS entry for the demo site, I gave it the WRONG IP address due to a typo (5 and 6 are right next to each other on the keyboard). I've fixed it now, but will take a while to trickle out to the rest of the world.

Yes, it sends the both the senders name AND email address to the recipient.

I like how it says
We do not store your email addresses on our system
while sending the admin an email so they can do just that.

It sends an EMAIL to the admin with a list of the email addresses of those who were recommended. This information is NOT stored within the "system", or in any database on your site. For that matter, there is no requirement that the domain in the email address of the site admin matches the domain of the store. For example: your store is located at http://www.yourstore.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, while the admin email address is admin@somewhere-else.com.

It's not compatible with 1.3.2. That version uses a "layout" for all pages, later versions don't. It would be possible to "rebuild" it to work with 1.3.2.
