It Works -- and very well -- thank you by frankd4, May 17, 2008

This is a very nice module. Installs easily -- Do read the install manual prior to installation. I thinks it's less than a page and explains file permission settings, easy and basic stuff nothing to worry even the newest Joomlaite.

The module is ingeniously spam bot protected by a hidden input box that bots populate but not humans.

The email text that is sent out is easily configurable via the .php file.

Shape 5 has a support forum that is alive and well.

Great stuff guys, Thank you.

Easily customizable! by denden, December 26, 2007

This module is based on a well known open source PHP script that I had experience using to begin with, was nice to see it ported to Joomla! Thank you!

Simple Yet in Shape by satts, December 4, 2007

I was looking for a module that enables me to Have Tell a Friend Feature on my website.
Voila this was the first result that popped up and I am very happy with this module.

Fast, Efficient, Professional by ibond2u, November 17, 2007

Thanks for another great free module! I have used several "Tell a Friend" type modules in my J1.0.13 sites and just installed this one today. Wow, what a difference! As far as the function overall...it's absolutely great! Using PHPmail on my hostgator hosted site with no problems. Your configuration files are seamless. Your other "freebies" look nice, haven't tried those yet.

After a tweek or two. Two Thumbs Up! by expertdnatesting, November 10, 2007

It seems to be an excellent program. It actually sends the page link that you are on as it says.

It was easy to install.

I had to modify permission on the mod files to get it work correctly.

Over all an excellent product.

Simple Easy and Effective by Christabelle67, October 26, 2007

This is truly a fabulous mod, quick and easy to install with outstanding support and forum. I had no problems in following the detailed and crystal clear 'How to Install' and set this mod up on my site, it works brilliant, nice clean professional layout and the ability to email 3 friends and more thereafter, everything and more. Highly recommend this top mod! Congratulations to the Team!

Similar sentiments to a previous poster - great things come in small packages !

Easy to install, very professional looking and does what it says on the tin. Possibly the best 'invite' module I've seen yet.

Keep up the good work.

Spammers Delight by brian, July 22, 2007

Sadly this module doesn't use the "defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
"

This means that ANYONE can access the html file used to send email

Owner's reply:
This module actually uses a series of javascript functions and a hidden input box to deny spam. Spam bots work by populating all input boxes, hidden or not, and then submitting the form. Our script checks to see if the hidden box is populated or not. If it is populated then a bot populated it. If it's not pouplated then it's an actual user because a user never sees the box and therefore could never fill it in. The script checks to see which is the case and sends or denies the submission accordingly.

All that to say this module is spam protected.

Great Application by kalasoft, June 22, 2007

Sometimes great applications come in small packages and Tell A Friend is clearly one of these applications. After getting the lastest up-date that fixed an IE browser issue, this program worked flawlessly! Great application, outstanding support and a must have module for just about any site. Thanks Shape5.com

Works well by loclyngrey, June 22, 2007

Cheers
