DESCRIPTION

Adds a "forward this page" link to each node. This module allows users to
forward a link to a specific node on your site to a friend.  You can customize
the default form field values and even view a running count of the emails sent
so far using the forward module.


INSTALLATION

Step 1) Download latest release from http://drupal.org/project/forward

Step 2)
  Extract the package into your 'modules' directory.


Step 3)
  Enable the forward module.

  Go to "administer >> build >> modules" and put a checkmark in the 'status' column next
  to 'forward'.


Step 4)
  Go to "administer >> site configuration >> forward" to configure the module.

  Edit 'forward.theme' to change the look and feel of your emails.  You can also
  create different themes for different phptemplate themes with by copying the
  contents of 'forward.theme' into your theme's 'template.php' file and
  prepending the function name with 'phptemplate_'.  Then you can customize the
  function as needed and those changes will only appear went sent by a user using
  that theme.  For more information, see the Drupal handbook:

  http://drupal.org/node/11811


Step 5)
  Enable permissions appropriate to your site.

  The forward module provides two permissions:
   - 'access forward': allow user to forward pages.
   - 'administer forward': allow user to configure forward.

  Note that you need to enable 'access forward' for users who should be able to
  send emails using the forward module.
