Adding a ‘Tell A Friend' Link
You can allow your customers to quickly send email messages to others containing links to items in your website using the ‘tell a friend' preference. When you enable this preference, a site visitor can click a Tell A Friend link while viewing an item. Clicking this link opens a new message using the customer's email editor that contains a link to the item's page.
To enable this preference, go to Commerce > Websites > Website List. On the Appearance subtab, in the Tell a Friend section, check the Show “Tell a Friend” Link box.
The Tell a Friend email message has a subject of “Hi There,” contains the following text: “I thought you would like to have a look at this product,” and includes the URL that points to the item in the Web store.
You can customize the text of this email at Commerce > Site Builder > Content > Customize Text. For more information, see Customizing Website Text.
When you use a hosted site or a site with custom themes, you can also add the Tell a Friend link to hosted pages using an attribute tag in the following format:
<%=getCurrentAttribute('item','tellafriendlinkhtml')%>.
