TV button

How can I create a TV that acts as a button that when pressed runs a snippet?

The idea I have is within a Resource's Template Variables tab there would be a button that says "Email me" which when pressed would run a snippet that will email the current resource to a specific address.

I am aware of the EmailResource package which is good but there are way too many options for my end users and I really would like just one button, no other options. It avoids confusion.

Any suggestions welcome.

Many thanks in advance.

should not be that difficult to create a custom-TV-inputtype, which would do that.
It could run a processor, when the button was clicked.

Take a look at the Notify extra's TV. It makes the TV caption a button that launches a page containing a snippet. It's a regular text TV.

For a long time now I've been meaning to rewrite EmailResource to work the same way, but I never seem to find the time to do it.

I notice within the caption you have the

Where is the nf() method? How do I link this to my snippet call?

It's JavaScript in the code of the plugin. It creates a form, then appends it to the document and submits it. The action of the form is set to a page with the Notify snippet on it.
