I've created a custom TAF for a reusable page titled reus_ac_OH

I've used the S5 tag to insert a Tell-A-Friend link into a pagebuilder page. The resulting HTML is:

A href="]?page=]"

The link displays on the page and a TAF form displays, but it is not the custom TAF form for that page. The site TAF is displayed instead

Any advice

    When I make a custom tell-a-friend it usually doesn't appear on the pagebuilder page, viewing it when I am logged into Convio. But once I publish the page and view it from our website the custom image appears. Have you tried publishing it and seeing what it looks like on the user side?

    The "page" argument is going to drive where the TAF links to, but not what it uses to populate the customized form. The arguments that you want to use to drive the use of the customized form are "type" (which is always 1019 for a PageBuilder page) and "id" which is going to be an internal sequence for the page. The idea behind the S5 tag is that it is going to be a TAF about the page being viewed so it automatically populates the type, id and page parameters for whatever is being viewed. In this context, I mean the outermost main page not any reusable pages that might be included by reference.

    If what you want is to create a link that returns someone to a different page than the one being viewed, I would not use the S5 tag -- just handcode the URL as TellAFriend?page=]. If you also want to pickup custom text from that page, you will need to find the "id" value by putting a plain-old S5 tag on that page and copying it out of the generated link.

    Of course, eCards are a lovely alternative that should do almost exactly that function for you much more easily and more attractively.
