Change Friendsroll Admin Email

I received a question today from one of our plugin users asking how to change the email address Friendsroll uses to notify you of new friend requests. Currently, it uses the admin email of your WordPress installation (which you can change by editing Settings->General->Email Address). If you’d like Friendsroll to send to an email other than the admin email address, you don’t have an “easy” way to do that. I’ll show you the “hard” way today, and we are going to put the easy way on our feature todo list.

In the WordPress plugin editor, load up the Friendsroll plugin and look for the following line (it’s line 88 in the current version):

wp_mail(get_option(‘admin_email’), ‘A new friendsroll request was received.’, sprintf(FRIENDSROLL_ADMIN_EMAIL, trim($newFriend->_name), trim($newFriend->_email)));

Now all you need to do is simply update the first argument to that function as follows:

wp_mail(“youremail@host.com”, ‘A new friendsroll request was received.’, sprintf(FRIENDSROLL_ADMIN_EMAIL, trim($newFriend->_name), trim($newFriend->_email)));

Obviously, youremail@host.com should be replaced with the desired email.

That’s it! Friendsroll will now send new friend requests to the new email address.

Wordpress 2.5 is the latest and greatest, and it’s now even easier to use. It’s received tons of great feedback, and many of you have decided to upgrade to take advantage of all the new features it has to offer.

We also think it’s important that you can still take advantage of the great social features that Friendsroll and Toplinks have to offer.

So after a little tweaking, we’ve managed to get both Friendsroll and Toplinks WordPress 2.5- ready!

FriendsRoll is now easier to manage and use: we’ve moved the Administrator menu to the “Manage” tab.

So go ahead and download the newest version of Friendsroll and TopLinks, and you’ll be able to keep in touch with your community and share your most valued links!

Friendsroll and Toplinks

ThornleyFallis and 76design have gained so much from the Wordpress community over the years that we thought it was time to give back. Today we are releasing Friendsroll and Toplinks, two Wordpress plugins that we hope will help to re-invent the blogroll.

Toplinks takes the pain out of managing your blogroll links. Instead of having to continuously maintain a list of sites that you link out to, Toplinks will automatically maintain that list for you.

Friendsroll assists you in maintaining a one to one relationship with the members of your blog community. It lets the members of your community indicate that they value your opinion and want to be associated with you.

Stay tuned for more on both Toplinks and Friendsroll. But for now, why not download both and give them a try!
