Hello,

so i am trying to create a simple nice little ’send to friend’ link for my site...
i have this code

<a href="mailto:?subject=I%20thought%20you%27d%20be%20interested...&body=I%20thought%20you%20might%20be%20interested%20in%20this%20article%20I%20found.%20See%20it%20here:%20%%5B+idpage+%5D" title="Send to Friend">
</a>

(found this through google)

that creates a nice pop up window with my email browser and it adds a subject and the line

I thought you might be interested in this article I found. See it here: [+idpage+]

this is all perfect except i cant figure out how to get the pages url to attach to the end of the above sentence. hopefully its something i can easily put in to where [+idpage+] is..

if anyone can think of it i’d REALLY appreciate it,,,

<img alt="Send Article" src="../img/email-icon.png" /></a>
</p>

hmmmmmm, getting closer.......... the [(site_url)] works perfectly unfortunatly though the [~[+id+]~] seems to only produce

[~~]

so close....

VICTORY!

[~[+id+]~]

doesnt work but

[~[*id*]~]

does

so finished code is:

<a href="mailto:?subject=I%20thought%20you%27d%20be%20interested...&body=I%20thought%20you%20might%20be%20interested%20in%20this%20article%20I%20found.%20See%20it%20here:[(site_url)][~[*id*]~]" title="Send to Friend">
<img alt="Send Article" src="../img/email-icon.png" /></a>
