davincim:
you are correct-i do not see it in the Plugin Panel, and it is still working.
to install it, I put the wp-email.php file in the root directory (where the index.php that has almost NO code…just enough to call your theme index page), and the other class files in their respective directories according to the readme file.

to add a link to your pages so that someone can actually email the post to someone, do the following
// Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
// Note: If you ARE NOT using nice permalink url
Find:
------------------------------------------------------------------
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
------------------------------------------------------------------
Add Below It:
------------------------------------------------------------------
">Email This Article
------------------------------------------------------------------

you can play around where you put the email link on the page. i acutally moved it in the code to display below the individual posts.

i integrated the email script into my site (which is not live yet) and it is working fine. I only had to tweak it out a bit. I am using a variation of the “Plain Vanilla” template. On the wp-email.php page, there is code that calls “get_sidebar” – when the page loads, and for each subsequent confirmation page.

this was redundant and was causing my sidebar to display in the center column. simply deleting this call from the code in wp-email.php corrected the problem for me.

i’m not a programmer , so I’m not sure if i’m being clear – if you have a question about what i did, post it here…thanks

so, the programmer of this plugin kicks some major a**…. he sent me the updated 1.5 version in response to my email…. he mentioned that he will be releasing it in the next couple of days here’s his site

good luck everyone and thanks again to Lester “GamerZ” Chan.

i think WordPress is AMAZING….. but I’m getting sad about not being able to get this functionality to work!

“does it really work with…” is a great question. I basically set it up by following the directions in the wp-email.php file. it does not show up in my plugin directory either, but the “email this post” link appears on the front end of the site, even without activating it.

i just cannot get it to acutally send an email out!

lawtai – yup, that’s exactly what I want to do as well. after searcing and searching, i found 2 plugins – wp-email created by Lester Chan and email post (i can’t find the link for this one, but i’ll post it when i do)

they are both easy to implement, but when I try to use either one, the email never gets sent. the code is executed as if everything is fine, but the emails are never delivered.

i’m thinking it’s an email configuraton thing on the server i’m using, but i can’t figure it out.
