Tell A Friend - Increase 5 email limit?

Tell a friend by default has a 5 email limit.

Read docs, book, and searched forum.  No requests to increase this limit, or instructions on how to increase this limit, to 10 or even 20 perhaps.

For some donations, particularly ones where you "sponsor a walk" or something similar, the more friends you tell the better.

How to configure or change?  Thanks.

Right now through the settings you cannot configure the same.

You can try the below patch and modify the number as per your requirement.

Actually, thanks for the reply but I found where it is.  I don't think this MUN_OPTION would have had the desired effect anyhow.

The "tell a friend" limit is a configurable number within the web interface but it is not listed under "tell a friend" in the Manage Contribution Pages area.

This configurable number is actually listed under "Personal Campaign Contributions".

I have edited the wiki documentation to clarify this.

I think normal tell a friend and pcp tell a friend are different. May be in future we should make normal tell friend number configurable.
