A few threads came back matching "tell-a-friend", but nothing really touched on creating a form that can be used to share individual posts via email with a friend.
It seems this is possible with Gravity, but I'm not quite sure how -- just getting started with the plugin.
So here's what I'd like to do, and could use some help setting up. I imagine the form including:
- Sender's name field
- Sender's e-mail field
- Recipient's name field
- Recipient's e-mail field
- Optional message from sender to recipient to be included in the e-mail body
- Hidden field with pre-written copy to be included in the e-mail body
- Custom formatted html styling for the e-mail's body
- Hidden field for post title to be used in the e-mail subject and body
Here's the workflow I picture: I like a post on a site and I want to share it with a friend. I see a "tell-a-friend" form below the post and I fill it in. I type my name, my e-mail address, my friend's name, my friend's e-mail address, and a message, "this is hilarious...enjoy!". I hit the "send" button and a message fades in over the form, "This post has been sent to Mike (my friend). Thanks for sharing!".
In my friend's inbox is an e-mail from my address with the subject, "Travis wanted to share "Funny freaking post" with you at FunnySite. He opens it and finds a beautiful html email that greets him with, "Hey Mike, Travis liked a post called "Funny freaking post" on FunnySite and wanted to share it with you:
http://funnysite.com/funny-freaking-post
We, and Travis, think you'll enjoy it!

Hope I gave enough details without putting everyone to sleep :)
FIngers crossed this is possible with Gravity forms, and hopefully it's relatively straight forward. Thanks in advance, GF crew.
