Docs say that the default ID on tell-a-friend forms is “tellafriend_form”
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/email/tellafriend.html#form-id
On an upgrade from an EE1 installation I’m seeing this tag defaulting to an ID of “contact_form”. I imagine that I can fix it by specifying the ID in the tag, so just reporting.

Hi ruraldreams,
Hmm… even on an upgrade, the ID on the EE 2.5.2 version of the form should default to “tellafriend_form”. Are you running the latest version EE 2? Are you looking at the Tell-a-Friend form or the Contact form?

It’s 2.5.2. Please test it and you’ll see what I mean.

Yep, looks like that’s indeed a bug. I went ahead and fixed it up in the code in development, so that’ll be available with the next release of EE. In the meantime, here’s how you can fix it in your own installation. Open up /system/expressionengine/modules/email/mod.email.php and look for line 893. It should look like this:
'id' => ($this->EE->TMPL->form_id == '') ? 'contact_form' : $this->EE->TMPL->form_id,Replace that line with this one:
'id' => ($this->EE->TMPL->form_id == '') ? $form_id : $this->EE->TMPL->form_id,Hope that helps!
