Share v1.2

By Dan Wolfgang
Posted January 27, 2009, in Social Media.

Details

Share takes the simple "email to a friend" idea and lets you completely customize every aspect:

  • Include a share form on entries with from, to and message fields
  • Use Movable Type template tags to craft your email body and subject however you like
  • Send email as plain text or HTML
  • Use Movable Type's junk filters to keep spammers out
  • A results template lets you provide feedback to the user and match your site's design
  • Watch the number of email shares with a dashboard widget, and on the Edit Entry screen

Share is a paid plugin. Share Lite, a slightly stripped-down and free version, is also available.

Requirements

sendmail (likely how Movable Type is already set up to send email) MIME::Lite Perl module (included in the Share distribution)

Compatibility

Movable Type versions: 4.3
