[SOLVED] Another tweak needed for Tell a Friend tag

I'm using the Tell a Friend tag and I figured out how to have it open up in a new window using target="_blank" -- but I can't resize the window using this method.
So, I decided to use some javascript to make it open in a new window. It works, but in the email message it only shows
http://www.website.com -- I need it to show the entire page url:
http://website.com/page like it did when I used target="_blank"
Can anyone give me some ideas on how to accomplish this? Unfortunately, I have trouble wrapping my head around anything related to php or javascript, so any help would be most appreciated.

I figured it out. Here's the solution incase anyone else wants their tell a friend form to open up in a popup window. Not sure if it's the best solution, but it works.
Format the Tell a Friend link on your pages with the following:
Code: Select all
<a href="yourpagewhereformlives" target="page" onClick="window.open('','page','toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=325,height=450,left=50,top=50,titlebar=yes')">Send this page to a friend</a>
The above code has the window open to a specific size and only shows the titlebar. If your want to show toolbar, scrollbars etc, change the 0 to 1.

Upload it to your plugins folder.
Then call it on your layout with the following, changing the parameters to suit your needs.
Code: Select all
{tellafriend_form emailsubject='Check out this page!' style='true' cannedtext='I thought you might find this page interesting' captcha='true'}
For more info, in your admin go to Extensions > Tags.

Where is this module? I can't find it.
I looked in the tags too, still don't see it.
Thanks!
