Very simple yet very effective!

Gets the job done! It simply works!

This is a great, simple refer a friend component. Very simple to set up and use.

The only things that would make it better would be the ability to use it as a module and the ability for the sender to send it to more than one person.

Nice work!

This is one of the most simpliest tools you could use. Not a ton of bells and whistles, just a 'get the job done' type of tool. I have been using it for 3 months and now that I made the jump to joomla 1.0.11, I found that this too is not compatible. It seems like with the many, many, many components and modules that have been rendered as flawed, this also fell victim to the new security settings recommended by Joomla 1.0.11.

I emailed the developer last night and got a reply this morning, we went over how to reproduce it and there should be a fix provided sometime in the future.

This component should be added to the list of vulnerable 3PD components. As for now, I completely uninstalled it until an update is provided.
Owner's reply

The new version fixes it.

Easy to install and use.

However, the sendemail part does not support utf-8 format by default.

You can make it utf-8 support by adding . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" to recommend.php

In addition, It is better if visitor can choose the number of friends to recommend, now visitor can only recommend one each time.
