Re: email friend don´t work was created by Emanuel Rosenzweig
Hello Cleas,
After straggling with this issue and trying some suggestion in the different forums, I got to stable solution which enables sending mail to a friend both from joomla article and K2 item (the solutions I found handled only K2, but then the joomla article went without a usable link...).
It is a hack to joomla's core mailto component. I hate this idea, but this is the only solution which works for me, and I spent 3 days around this bug of K2.
Locate the file components/com_mailto/controller.php
There are two areas where you'll find JText::_('COM_MAILTO_EMAIL_NOT_SENT'). First of all, remove the spaces from both sids of the underscore which comes after JText::
Change the line (currently #51)

Just to offer a different solution (more complicated but doesnt hack the core)
Install and enable the "Mail this page" module
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/articles-sharing/7717
Install and enable the Modules Anywhere plugin from NoNumber
www.nonumber.nl/extensions/modulesanywhere
In your K2 template override (you really should not edit the core K2 template, make an override) look for the Email Button comment and replace these lines
with
{module ###}
where ### is the module ID of the "Mail this page" module
This will totally bypass the com_mailto issue.
