Excellent! Clicks install.

How about adding the username html markup to this? It looks odd when this is not shown on this hack, but it shows on the other stats, like members currently online and members online today...

[trancetopia]

What a great visible incentive for members to spread the word :) Thanks - installs!!

[Snake]

Installed. ;)

Updated!
This new version adds html tags for usergroups (if any).

To upgrade from old version, just simply delete the old plugin in AdminCP->Plugin Manager, then reupload the new one.

Dude.... since 3.5 I absolutely CANNOT stop installing mods. It's just too easy!

*installs*

[Ncturnal]

Nice. Any chance of getting this for vBAdvanced CMPS? Nice hack.

[G-Force 199]

May I show it on my vBAdvanced CMPS homepage ?

dont know what i'm doing wrong pleas advise

[tnguy3n]

@ Dollah: what version of MySQL you run on your server?

[tnguy3n]

For those who want to shows it on CMPS, try this add-on. However, I don't guarantee it'll work properly as I didn't get to test it on a live site, and I just wrote it based on some existing mods at vbadvanced.com.

To install, just simply import the topreferrers.module file,
then create a new template named adv_portal_topreferrers with following content:
<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$showreferrers
</td>
</tr>

[Vizionz]

not valid module file to upload it

[tnguy3n]

Sorry, I don't run CMPS on my site nor have it installed on my PC, so I got no idea what format it is valid and what not. However, you can try this new approach.

NOTE: THIS INSTALLION IS FOR CMPS ONLY.

1. create a php file named topreferrers.php with the content:
<?php
// by tnguy3n @ vbviet.org

// number of top xx referrers to show
$num = 5;

$referrals = $db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(*) AS totalref, user.username, user.userid, user.usergroupid, usergroup.usergroupid, usergroup.opentag, usergroup.closetag FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS users LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (users.referrerid = user.userid) LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup ON (usergroup.usergroupid = user.usergroupid) WHERE users.referrerid != 0 GROUP BY users.referrerid ORDER BY totalref DESC LIMIT 0,$num");
$numref = $db->num_rows($referrals);
if($numref == '0')
{
$showreferrers = "No referrer found!";
}
while($referral = $db->fetch_array($referrals))
{
// display referrals on forumhome
$showreferrers .= "<a href=\"member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$referral[userid]\" title=''>$referral[opentag]$referral[username]$referral[closetag]</a> ($referral[totalref])<br />;";
}

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_topreferrers') . '";');

unset($referrals, $numref, $num);

?>

2. create a new template named adv_portal_topreferrers with content:
<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
$showreferrers
</td>
</tr>

3. In your CMPS block manager, create a new module of PHP file that print results of topreferrers.php.

[MThornback]

I'd love to use this...but something is wrong with the plugin...atleast for me... its not registering the fact that it has " . TABLE_PREFIX . " in the query....and its giving me an SQL error on the forum home...any thoughts?

[SnowBot]

LOOKING GOOD AGAIN MATE :) iNSTALLING

Great stuff..before I install is there a way it can EXCLUDE admins ??

[tnguy3n]

You can add in the query:
AND user.usergroupid != 6

For multiple groups:
AND user.usergroupid NOT IN(6,7,8,9)

[Deimos]

Great hack, installed aok, but one small problem

On the bar which shows who's the top referrers, i've got this

Flutter (22) Queen Mum (12) Epona (6) Tukaram (6) (6)

As you can see, there's 2 (6)'s after "Tukaram", as if there's another user, but it isn't showing their name?

in the plugin file

G-Force 199,
usergroupid is the first field in usergroup table, existing in both vb 3.0.x and vb 3.5.x. Unless you drop the field by accident or conflict with other hacks.

[Bounce]

something like the following:
$referrals = $db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(*) AS totalref, user.username, user.userid, user.usergroupid, usergroup.usergroupid, usergroup.opentag, usergroup.closetag FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS users LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (users.referrerid = user.userid) LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX .

thank you sir

Hey, college boy. How's it going? ;)

Any way to have the number of referrals after each name be clickable with a window and a list of the names? Or maybe take you to another page that has a referral listing of some kind for the site? ;)

Hey boofy, how is it down there in Des Moines? School is getting more tensed now as it's getting closer to finals.

A popup that lists all of the names is cool, but maybe I'll add another query to get the list since the other one is way too big aleady.

A new page with how many and the names, too? ;)

Make sure you let me know when you get some free time and we'll hook up since you are this close. ;)

Help, Please?

[Dead End Society]

Yeah I get the same error when I install the plugin....when I uninstall it I can access my forums again. So this means it's conflicting with another hack right?

[MThornback]

I'm thinking it means that we have another hack that dropped that row for some reason, or replaced it with something else...but I wanted to ask to be sure..

[tnguy3n]

Done as requested. Just download and install new release of the hack. ;)

We definitely should. My semester will end on the 22nd of December, then I'll have 4 weeks off. If you have chance going to down to IC, give me me a call.

It shows the wrong date for "Date Joined". It has the same date for everyone..

Can this be fixed?

[tnguy3n]

I think I missed out the joindate field in my query.

In the plugin,

FIND:

$referrers = $db->query_read("SELECT user.userid, user.username, user.referrerid, users.username AS refname FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS users LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.referrerid = users.userid) WHERE user.referrerid = '" . intval($vbulletin->GPC['referrerid']) . "' ORDER BY user.username DESC LIMIT 0, $count");

REPLACE WITH:
$referrers = $db->query_read("SELECT user.userid, user.username, user.referrerid, users.username AS refname, user.joindate FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS users LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.referrerid = users.userid) WHERE user.referrerid = '" . intval($vbulletin->GPC['referrerid']) . "' ORDER BY user.username DESC LIMIT 0, $count");

* tnguy3n updated hack.

[cbr929rrerion]

Done.. Awesome.. fixed.. Thanks

[smokering]

excellent hack thank you

[Developer]

v.nice hack

[NoCo7]

An alternative fix I found for the mysql 'usergroup' table related errors is to adding 'AS usergroup' on the second LEFT JOIN in the initial $referrals query resolves the problem and allows the group markup to work.

$referrals = $db->query_read("SELECT COUNT(*) AS totalref, user.username, user.userid, user.usergroupid, usergroup.usergroupid, usergroup.opentag, usergroup.closetag
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS users
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON (users.referrerid = user.userid)
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup AS usergroup ON (usergroup.usergroupid = user.usergroupid)
WHERE users.referrerid != 0
GROUP BY users.referrerid
ORDER BY totalref
DESC LIMIT 0,$num");

[tnguy3n]

thanks for pointing that out, NoCo7.

update the hack!

thanks :)

when I click on the members name it takes me to a page but it dont list them, you can see where they should be but they are not there..

[tnguy3n]

It's supposed to popup in new window. Check if you have all the template modded correctly.

[cbr929rrerion]

I will have to check because it dont do a new window..

[cbr929rrerion]

well i completely reinstalled and it does not work, any idea what I am missing..

Take a look at www.crotchrocketracing.com

Thanks for the help..

[MorrisMcD]

I started getting this error shortly after having this hack installed.. It was fine, but I registered as a new user to test and put the only other user in the database as the referral.. After that I continued to get this error until I disabled the plugins for this hack, and ultimately deleted :(

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type vB_Session as array in /home/html/index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 172

I will be UN_INSTALLING THIS since no one can assist in pointing out why this is not working correctly for me.

If I can get someone to take a look at it and see what its doing then I would appreciate it, if not I will have to un-install it...

check your FORUMHOME template if you have this javascript:
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
function popup(url, referrers)
{
if (! window.focus)return true;
var href;
if (typeof(url) == 'string')
href=url;
else
href=url.href;
window.open(href, referrers, 'width=300,height=250,scrollbars=yes');
return false;

I even blocked the gsnforce from showing up yet it still does.

[guamdude]

works just fine.

[ubblite]

It's been a while since the earlier posts, so I was wondering if anyone has been able to get this Mod working with vbAdvanced CMPS?

[nonet]

The popup window does not work for me either. I checked and the code changes are done correctly.

[SlowRoasted]

How can i get this to display in another template? It wont let me just put $showreferrers in another template.

[SlowRoasted]

*bump* anyone know how to get this in another template? I want to put it in my sidebar template but it won't work if I just put $showreferrers in it.

[tnguy3n]

I think if you change the hook to global_start, it would show anywhere on vBulletin powered page.

[Drache]

Does this work with 3.5.4?

[budswope]

I get the message "No Referrer Found" even after new signups?

I love this idea!

[kira]

Does this work with 3.5.4?

It's working in mine so far, although it's only a test board (i.e. not 'live' yet).

Many thanks for this nifty little plugin. I think it'll add a nice incentive to refer more people to a community!

go to http://yoursite/admincp

It should allow you there.. Then you can go into the product manager and disable this hack or uninstall it (I would suggest disabling in case you do it to the wrong plugin)
