Invite to Network
Hi!

I am looking for the best way to add a "Invite to Network" capability to the site. This Kentico installation is specifically used as a social network and I would like my registered users to be able to invite their friends to it (this would be an email invitation to non members, a simple email saying "you have been invited by XXX to join the network..."). This seems like a rather standard function but I fail to find an existing webpart or setting to make it happen. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Thanks for the help!

RE:Invite to Network
Hi,

Have you tried using the "Send to a Friend" web part? You may need to customize it little bit but it is pretty much what you are looking for. Allows users to send the content of specified documents by e-mail. The e-mail may contain a message from the user and document content is generated based on the assigned ASCX transformation.

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus
