Recommend Invite Friends for Joomla! 1.5.x
D-Mack RecommendFriends Version v2.0.2 Released - Now with HTML email MIME capabilities!

Component to allow your users to recommend, or invite, their friends to visit your website.

It can send multiple emails including a copy to the Administrator and/or the User. Front end appearance is completely configurable including form field widths and background and text colors! It incorporates Captcha Security to help prevent spam! There is also an option to send emails in Content-Type:text/html MIME format! ALL text for the entire component, front end and back, can be edited on-line in the Admin area of the site! And the component is XHTML 1.0 Transitional valid!

This component uses standard Joomla! JFactory Mailer functions - which should work if your website's email settings are correctly configured for your website server (i.e. Sendmail, PHPMailer, SMTP, etc).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Set how many 'Email Fields' are displayed on the Front End.
-Select how the 'From' and 'Reply To' addresses are set.
-Set whether Admin should receive a copy (Bcc) of the email sent
-Change or customize the 'Subject' field for the emails.
-Set a customized introduction message for the emails sent to Friends
-Allow HTML code to be entered in the custom introduction - Including Images!!
-Form field validation through Javascript
-Set the name, email input field widths and user message textarea size
-Change the form field background and text colors
-Set/control the widths of ALL the form fields
-Captcha Security! *NOTE* Your server *MUST* have GD and TrueType Fonts!
-Customize Captcha font text and colors, noise, text rotation, etc.
-ALL text can be edited ON-LINE through the component!

flawless by col_potter, September 24, 2008
Finally a 1.5 invite that is simple, user friendly, and does what it says. Works with sh404SEF, which others I tried did not. This is not a pop-up window and feels very integrated into the site and not a cheesy white window. Great component!


Very simple, fast setup and good by peteragwi, July 17, 2008
I must say that I'm very impressed with the light and easy setup of your module and highly recommend it.
Thanks*****


Great extension! by lane751969, July 12, 2008
Wow - this is a great extension. It's easy to customize, works right out of the box, and is very efficient and professional. Thank you so much!


Top extension! by Tryweryn, July 10, 2008
Got to say my only problem is that this guy does not make all my extensions. This one does what it says and more. Loaded and worked with no problem and you can configure everything on it, the lot!
What I did like about this software is that it blended into the theme as if it was written for it.
Just to mention the customer service is great. Fast friendly etc. One to watch in the future for other projects.


WoW!! by Roderick1, July 7, 2008
Very nice! easy to use and great options!
But an module would be nice indeed :)

Keep up this great work!


Great Extension, but will be better to have a module and plugin by foley, July 5, 2008
I honestly will have given this component 5 stars! The only problem is that it doesn't have a module or plugin to accompany the component. It will be hard to convince site visitors to look for and click a menu link before they can recommend your site to their friends. The site owner is the one that needs the favor of their site visitors, so the Recommend component should make it easy for visitors to recommend their friends.

So please come up with an accompanying plugin and module that will make this wonderful component a 5 star joomla extension.
