Member	Darren - 11/28/2008 10:49:11 AM Send to a friend I'm just testing out the 'Send to friend' web part. I've set it up on my news repeater so it appears on the selected item transformation. This works fine but when you send it ALL the news items appear in the email. How do I configure it so it only displays the news item the user is reading at the time? Thanks in advance for any help.

RE:Send to a friend

Hi Darren,

Could you please describe it with more details how did you added it to the repeater?

I think that the easiest solution is to place this web part directly to the page template of the news documents so it will appear on each news document and only this document will be sent. Just like the example in the E-commerce site.

Best Regards,

RE:Send to a friend

I added it to the same page as my news repeater and set it so it only shows for the CMS.News document type. That way it appears when a news item is displayed (using the selected item transformation) but it sends ALL my news articles if you use it.

Is this the incorrect way to use this webpart?

I don't have access to the E-Commerce demo site so I don't know how it is set up there. I guess I could install it and have a look.

RE:Send to a friend

Aaah, I wasn't aware of using a dot for the current path. That was where I was going wrong, I orginally had the path pointing to my news item sub folder which would explain why it was showing everything. Changed it to a dot and it now works great.

In fact that path expressions document is very interesting, I haven't come across that one till now. I didn't realise the different options you have.

Thanks for your help Juraj.
