Tell A Friend

[Guest]

Hi,

I've tried a few searches but never read anything about it.

This is the default code for the text box for the message on the Tell A Friend page...

<tr>

	 <td align="right" valign="top"><strong>{TXT_MESSAGE}</strong></td>

	 <td><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="5" class="textbox">{VAL_MESSAGE}</textarea></td>

</tr>

What I want to achieve is something where that is hidden so the user can't change the message and only I can set the message (through lang.inc.php) that gets sent.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This is one workaround:

<td><textarea name="message" cols="30" rows="5" class="textbox" style="display:none;">{VAL_MESSAGE}</textarea>{VAL_MESSAGE}</td>

Set the form box to not display, and add the message placeholder to outside the forum textarea. Having the text area still there means that the information is sent, also having it outside means it gets displayed as normal page content, uneditable.

Thanks Robsta. I shall try that and see what happens

Edit - seems to do the job

Although if anyone knows a solution that would make the message 'invisible/hidden' without changing the font colour to white I'd be pleased to hear :huh:
