Forward-to-friend feature of Emailworks Maillist Manager can be used in its default user interface layout or it can be re-branded under your own website identity. This guide will show you how to re-brand it.

Contents

Understanding the layout

Open your favorite HTML editor on your computer and edit file which is under /Emailworks Maillist Manager_directory/templates/weefor/public/forward_email.tpl

As you will see, this file contains HTML code for generating the forward-to-friend form.

Now, in order to display this form on your own website design, just login to your Emailworks Maillist Manager admin area and go to "Settings > Re-Branding" section.

Enter the URL of both header and footer pages which will be merged with the forward-to-friend form code.

Let's prepare a custom header and footer for forward-to-friend page:

Preparing Header Of The Website Page

Here's an example HTML code to generate the header of the page: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
	<title>My Website Forwad-To-Friend Page</title>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-us" />
</head>
<body>

Save this file on your web server and enter the URL to the Admin Area > Settings > Re-Branding Settings > Forward to Friend Page Header URL field.

Preparing Footer Of The Website Page

Here's an example HTML code to generate the footer of the page: 

<p>©Copyright Mysite.com</p>
</body>
</html>

Save this file on your web server and enter the URL to the Admin Area > Settings > Re-Branding Settings > Forward to Friend Page Footer URL field.


Setting Up Emailworks Maillist Manager

After saving Re-Branding Settings in your administrator area, Emailworks Maillist Manager is set. Just send an email campaign to yourself including forward-to-friend link. Click the link inside the received email and you will see the forward-to-page in your website design.

If you want to make customization in the HTML form code, edit /Emailworks Maillist Manager_directory/templates/weefor/public/forward_email.tpl

If you wish to change the design of standard header/footer pages for forward-to-friend, just edit the following files:

  • /Emailworks Maillist Manager_directory/templates/weefor/layouts/public_forward_header.tpl
  • /Emailworks Maillist Manager_directory/templates/weefor/layouts/public_forward_footer.tpl
