Add to cart error

There seems to be an error in the add to cart link in the product_info page. (the link attached to the button_in_cart.gif) It wants to send to a friend instead of adding the product to the cart. Since I have done nothing that I know of to effect this I am assuming it is a bug.

BTW-
Is there a way to set the cart so you don't have to login to add items to the cart?

Yes when I click on the "Add to Cart" button on the product_info gage it goes to the "Tell a Friend" page. I can not find where this link is defined.
Here is an example . Click on "Add to cart".

Strange. This does not happen for me at all.... I think this is a problem with your html edits. You are missing a closing </form> tag in rhe 'Tell a friend' box, so the middle form is picking up the method from the side box. Add a closing </form> tag and it will work correctly.

That's weird because I didn't modify the box code. Thinking I screwed up something somewhere, I downloaded a fresh MAX zip from the site again and unzipped it and uploaded the tell a friend box and the same thing. Looking at view source I also see a missing closing form tag. Here is the box code, could you tell me where the </form> goes so I'm sure to get it right?

<?php
  $boxHeading = BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND;
  $corner_left = 'square';
  $corner_right = 'square';
  $boxContent_attributes = ' align="center"';

  $boxContent = tep_draw_form('tell_a_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  $boxContent .= tep_draw_input_field('to_email_address', '', 'size="10"') . '&' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT;

  require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATENAME_BOX);

  $boxContent_attributes = '';
?>

It should look like this:

<!-- tell_a_friend //-->
<?php
  $boxHeading = BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND;
  $corner_left = 'square';
  $corner_right = 'square';
  $boxContent_attributes = ' align="center"';

  $boxContent = tep_draw_form('tell_a_friend', tep_href_link(FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
  $boxContent .= tep_draw_input_field('to_email_address', '', 'size="10"') . '&' . tep_image_submit('button_tell_a_friend.gif', BOX_HEADING_TELL_A_FRIEND) . tep_draw_hidden_field('products_id', $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br>' . BOX_TELL_A_FRIEND_TEXT;
  $boxContent .= '</form>';

  require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATENAME_BOX);

  $boxContent_attributes = '';
?>
<!-- tell_a_friend_eof //-->

I pulled that right out of the zip file... ??? Note that you are missing the line :

$boxContent .= '</form>';

[jgkiefer]

That did it thanks. You may want to check the zip file.

Just found this bug alert on the OSC forums regarding BTS:
http://forums.oscommerce.com/viewtop...late+structure

Bug Report:
catalog/includes/boxes/tell_a_friend.php
Add this line immidiately after line 21:
$boxContent .= '</form>';

Just thought you would like to know that it's not us.

Oops! I updated the zip file, but never put it on the server ! Damn. I guess I needed some sleep.
Fixed.

For anyone that just wants to drop in the fixed file, get it below:

[michael_s]

When you say dead link, what happens? Error message? Blank screen? 404 page?
