====== Notify Friend Feature Options ======

The notify friend form has a few different options for displaying/using it within the listing details page much like the contact seller form feature does.  The default configuration for this feature is to link to the notify friend feature page from the listing details page.  There are other options where you can display the notify friend form by default in the listing details page and also have the current link to the notify friend display and when clicked display within a lightbox in the middle of the page.  Below are how to achieve each and what they do/or look like.

These tags/configurations ONLY work within the listing details page and ONLY to the listing details template (default is listing_auction.tpl or listing_classified.tpl templates) or the page template attached to the listing details page (by default that is listing_page.tpl template).

===== Link to Notify Friend Form =====

This is the default behavior in many of our default designs.  This configuration just requires that you insert the following tag where you want that "notify friend" link to appear within the listing details page or details template:

  {listing tag='message_to_seller_link'}
  
The above would create a link that looks like this screenshot:

{{ :startup_tutorial_and_checklist:usability_configuration:features_within_listing_details_page:notify_friend1.png }}

The text used for that notify friend link can be found within the following admin tool:

  PAGES MANAGEMENT > BROWSING LISTINGS > LISTING DISPLAY PAGE > [EDIT TEXT]
  
and look for the **Notify Friend Link** text within that page.

===== Display Notify Friend Form In Listing's Details =====

Instead of linking to a separate page to you can display the notify friend form directly within the listing details page.  You can do that by simply placing the following tag within your listing details page or details template:

  {listing tag='tell_a_friend_form'}
    
That will display the notify friend form within design where you want it.  We placed that within the right column of our default listing details template and got the following:

{{ :startup_tutorial_and_checklist:usability_configuration:features_within_listing_details_page:notify_friend2.png }}

===== Display Notify Friend Form in Popup/Lightbox =====

The last configuration for this feature allows you to click a bit of text and have the notify friend form appear as a lightbox popup much like the full size images do if an image is clicked.  You would paste the same tag as within the previous configuration but would add a specific attribute to it.  That tag would be:

  {listing tag='tell_a_friend_form' ajax_link='1'}
  
Placing the above in your listing details page templates produces a link where you place that tag and when you click that link text a lightbox popup like within the following screenshot appears for you to fill in and notify the friend:

{{ :startup_tutorial_and_checklist:usability_configuration:features_within_listing_details_page:notify_friend3.png?800 }}

The text used for that notify friend link can be found within the following admin tool:

  PAGES MANAGEMENT > BROWSING LISTINGS > LISTING DISPLAY PAGE > [EDIT TEXT]
  
and look for the **Notify Friend Link** text within that page.  Note that is the same system text used in the first option above.
