Re: [themes] forward module link themeing

Mark,

While playing with the Forward.module a few months ago, I wrote a patch to create a forward block that will do the forward functionality straight from the page but as a block, and not inline so the user never has to leave the page.

The patch file is at http://drupal.org/node/93499 in the issue queue but has not been committed.

Hopefully that is something that will be useful for someone.

I'm using the forward module that adds an 'email this page/node type' link to nodes.

I'd like to remove the link from the $link output and instead insert the code into a block so I can make more of a feature of it.

the code from the module that generates the link:

/**

• Generate links for pages

*/ function forward_link($type, $node=0, $main=0) { if (user_access('access forward') && (variable_get('forward_form_type', 'link') == "link") && variable_get('forward_display_'. $node->type, '1')){ $links=array(); if (($type == 'system')) { // URL, page title, func called for page content, arg, 1 = don't disp menu menu('forward', t('email this page'), 'forward_page', 1, 1); }

 // This var is set in the settings section under the

admin/modules/forward section // It shows 'email this $nodetype' or 'email this page' $forward_link_type = variable_get('forward_link_type', 0); if ($forward_link_type) { if ($type == 'comment') { $forward_link_type = 'comment'; $links[] = l(t("email this %type", array('%type' => $forward_link_type)), "forward/$node->nid&cid=$node->cid", array('title' => t('Forward this page to a friend'), 'class' => 'forward-page')); return $links; } $forward_link_type = $node->type; } else $forward_link_type = 'page';

 if (!$main || variable_get('forward_show_on_main', 0)) {
   $links[] = l(t("email this %type", array('%type' =>

$forward_link_type)), "forward/$node->nid", array('title' => t ('Forward this page to a friend'), 'class' => 'forward-page')); return $links; } } }

PHP disclaimer "I'm a designer" :-)

The code I have in my block (that doesn't work):

<?php global $user; if (user_access('access forward') && variable_get('forward_display_'. $node->type, '1')){ print l("Email this page to a friend",'forward/'.$node->nid); } ?>

This just gives a (/forward) url instead of passing the $nid (eg /forward/24)
