Default messages are easily modified and the look and feel is customizable via CSS stylesheet. You can choose to be notified when your site has been recommended, and email addresses are hidden so cannot be harvested by spammers. Also contains error checking. _installer_siterecommender_usagenotes=Site Recommender can be used as an INCLUDE or as a POPUP:

INCLUDE METHOD (easy):

To use the include method, add this HTML code to one or more pages of your website:



That will create a link to this script:

{http}://{subd}{domain}{dir}/recommend.php

You can modify the HTML in recommend.php to taste -- the only important tag is the <?php include ... ?>.

POPUP METHOD (involved):

This approach will pop up a new window for the recommendation form.

You can find an example page here:

{http}://{subd}{domain}{dir}/recommend2.php

That page features a demonstration recommend link which, when clicked, loads the recommendation script into a popup window.

An examination of the recommend2.php code will show how you can add that link to any page of your site: the important elements are the javascript <script>...</script> code, added into the <head>...</head>, and the <a href ...>...</a> link itself.
