For everyone who does not have referrers list updated:
See last FAQ item in the second post of this thread.

[Red Blaze]

It turned out for me that it didn't work. I found out why, though.

I checked the source after I click the invited link. Invite value appears in the verify age page. However, when I check the next page (rules registration part), the value is gone. Once I reach the registration page, the value isn't there and the invite no longer works.

What's causing that issue, I don't know. Any ideas?

[Bubble #5]

Maybe there will be such option if I have some free time next weekend :)
Would be MUCH appreciated :nervous:

[The Chief]

Are you sure it is not possible to send an invitation to all of our MSN Messenger contacts or AIM? This is surely something asked by alot of vB Admins and I'm sure it would be even more successful ;)

What about this mister psionic?

[akanevsky]

Yes. Invalid template edits by the admin.


What about this mister psionic?
To be honest, I have no idea how to interact with MSN... Therefore, I cannot do it.

[Red Blaze]

I uninstalled, and tried it again, but it just won't work. Uninstalled completely. It's sad, I really wanted this product.

How doesn't it work?

[bonjurkes]

first of all just want to say that it is a great hack and i was looking for it...

Installed ;)

Also i am not familiar with cron jobs. Is there a chance to add earned invites every night at 11:59 instead of Monday?

Will it cause a big load? If it wont can you tell how must i change the second cron job...

Psi didn't help. But hey, no problem. I'm not gonna bug Psi about it.

[akanevsky]

Don't bug me, but who loses in the end? That is correct, you do, because at the end you are unable to use the hack. If I were you, I'd keep the "install" clicked, and would provide a demonstration of the hack not working. However, since you don't want to cooperate, - and furthermore, since you clicked "uninstall" - I cannot help you. ;)

quick question....the invite system the e-mail it sends

how can i make the message in html?

like adding a header and all?

Thanks Psi

[akanevsky]

I am not sure you can use HTML, but you could try editing the phrase that contains the body of the message.

any idea how to add html? like code and all?

[akanevsky]

I don't think HTML will work because vbulletin's emails are plaintext.
As for HTML code, you best starting place would be www.w3schools.com.

gr8 hack ** installed **

[Red Blaze]

If you believe I was upset about me not getting it to work correctly or you not helping me, you're very mistaken. I clicked "uninstall" because I have no more use for your product. If in your opinion I lost, well alright, I'm not gonna fighting on the internet about it.

[akanevsky]

Why do you have no use for my product?

[Hanif]

Has anyone got this jack working with the Element Blue Template from vbStyles.com

Thre is no register button so not sure how to hack this baby.

Can anyone help please.

Ta,

Hanif

[dotagious]

Okay I have one problem. I have installed this and have 1 problem and 1 question. The invitation goes out fine but when the user clicks on it, it brings them to the sign in page. Then they click on the register button and a message pops up that says you need to be invited to register here so they cant register. Also if I disable the registration section so that it would be invite only they can even get that far what am I missing.


I have this same problem and so far does not appear related to permissions.

[akanevsky]

Try enabling forum view permissions for guests.

[dotagious]

Try enabling forum view permissions for guests.

damn you are fast ;)


AT first they only reached the "You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page." and then I enabled Can View Forum... and that took them to where they enter their date of birth... but then when they proceed... it says they have to be invited.

[Snoop-It]

quick question....the invite system the e-mail it sends

how can i make the message in html?

like adding a header and all?

Thanks Psi


dont worry, im 100% garunteed you'll be using HTML or Text your choice with my system... then you can use the refferer stats as well to see what members have invited who etc..

[dotagious]

Try enabling forum view permissions for guests.


Ok, If I disable Registration by Invites Only, it works when they follow the email link... but when that option is enabled... They get the "you need to be invited" screen.

EDIT:

It aappears this problem has shown up several times in this thread but with no resolution. Have any of you that encountered this been able to figure out what the situation is?

[dotagious]

Ok... I figured it out. For some reason, when I disabled COPPA... it works now. Anyone know why this is?

[akanevsky]

I probably forgot to modify a template. Will look into it tomorrow.

[davidx]

thanx, but where to click for installing?

[akanevsky]

I am not sure I understand the question, but you need to download the archive, unpack it into a folder in your computer, open the readme.html file in your browser (preferrably non-[internet explorer]), and follow the instructions.

[davidx]

i think i get it, i would try, I am a novice, thanx a lot!

Psionic Vision I just got an idea :s is thr any way tht user can login to msn/yahoo/google from forum n invite ppl.. umm.. like hi5.. u got me? sorry my english :(

[Bubble #5]

YES! YES! YES! :nervous:

We are quickly becoming one of your biggest fans :)

The screenshots look very promising. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this Psionic Vision, it is truly appreciated!

[sokowicz]

fixed

[akanevsky]

You must do the following:
1. Overwrite the XML.
2. When using the multiple-field interface, make sure you specified a name and a valid e-mail.

[Bubble #5]

We followed directions (above) but the old one line style still appears :(

We overwrite the product XML with the new one. We re-upload invites.php on the server. In ACP it shows version 1.3.0, but when we view it on the forum we only see one line :( How do we fix?

Thanks.

[akanevsky]

Is "Multiple-Line" set to off in admincp?

[Bubble #5]

There is no "Multiple-Line" setting for on/off anywhere (under options?). Just how many lines multiple show should be set at (see screenshot).

[akanevsky]

Really? Uh... Ooops. Will fix...

[akanevsky]

FIXED! REUPLOAD THE XML.

[Bubble #5]

Nothing looks any different :(

We overwrote the XML and then we uploaded the php file, still no difference...

Where is this setting supposed to be found? :ermm:

[akanevsky]

I don't know, for some reason it won't be exported. Looking at it..
EDIT: Ok, it was for some reason marked as "not vBulletin-default", therefore it did not get exported. It is fixed now. Overwrite the XML.

[Bubble #5]

Well we've got good news and bad news :nervous:

There is a new field called "Single-Field Addressline" which we tried seting to both yes and no, but it makes no difference, it always shows the single line no matter what :(

[akanevsky]

Weird. It works on my site. Can I see the problem on yours?

[Bubble #5]

Sure.

Clickity click (http://www.imnotinvisible.com/forums/invites.php?) :)

Screenshot shows how it's presently set up.

[akanevsky]

See PM

[dotagious]

so is this good to go or what? :squareeyed:

Thanks MissKalunji, I just found it and fixed it :)

BTW- I don't know if this is a bug or not but did you guys know that you could spam a person with this just by refreshing the page? :ermm: Is there some way of giving an error if they try this?

[Bubble #5]

That's odd. We even deleted the name/address from the form and refreshed and not only did it send another letter out, but the name/address magically reappeared again in the form... :ermm:

[akanevsky]

That's how it's supposed to work. But I'll see whether it can be fixed by adding a graphic confirmation code.

:banana: UPDATE! VERSION 1.4.0 :banana:

CHANGES: GD Image Verification.
SCREENSHOTS: No Update.

HOW TO UPGRADE:
1. Overwrite the product XML with the new one (adds an option to turn image verification on/off).
2. Re-upload invites.php.
4. Enjoy the effects.

[dotagious]

Works great! Thanks!

Do you know what I need to edit so if a member doesn't enter their own note, the email doesn't say "attatch note text test"? It's not a big deal, just looks goofy.

[akanevsky]

That's how it works.... Duh. Check whether something exists before you make suggestions.

[dotagious]

That's how it works.... Duh. Check whether something exists before you make suggestions.


No need to get snappy my friend, I appretiate the work you do.

I think you misunderstood. If someone does not enter an optional note, it still places default text saying "attatch note text test" in the email. Is it possible so that if someone does not enter the optional text... this does not appear in the email?

[akanevsky]

I appretiate the work you do.
Ok. :)

I thought it does not appear... At least not on my site.

[dotagious]

Ok. :)


I thought it does not appear... At least not on my site.


yah, for some reason it doesn't appear in the text box on the website... but seems to appear in the actual email once sent... at least my installation does this. No big deal, it's really a small matter. :)

[Mudvayne]

Just updated 1.3.0.. Thn finished 1.4.0 now.. :banana:
Thenku penku very much Psionic Vision for adding image verification..

[Bubble #5]

UPDATE! VERSION 1.4.0
Hehehe... seems like just yesterday I was updating this :) Great work Psionic Vision :nervous:

[akanevsky]

It WAS yesterday. :)

[Bubble #5]

When is the image verification supposed to appear? All we get is an error message saying that we didn't enter in anything, but no image was ever presented :ermm:

[akanevsky]

Make sure it is on in admincp options. (4th setting)
And that you have GD installed.

[Mattikana]

Why GD ?
Your hack should use the library specified in vBulletin Options / Image Settings ;)

[Mudvayne]

Psionic Vision just integrated his hack with vB defaul image verification system :).. & abt vB image verification u must installed GD into ur server..
i guess thts all.. either install GD or use Invites System v 1.3.0 :P

[MissKalunji]

Check your pm....it has a reward :p dont worry about that

[akanevsky]

1.4.0 has an option to disable image verification.

[Mudvayne]

1.4.0 has an option to disable image verification.
Sorry i forgot :tired:

[Bubble #5]

Yes of course we checked these things. GD works fine for registrations. For some reason it's hard to upgrade this hack. Not all templates get updated to the new version. We even uninstalled the entire hack and then installed a fresh 1.4.0 and still it doesn't work. This may have something to do with that one template that didn't get owerwritten like last time, remember?

Could you please either post or PM me a copy of 1.4.0's USERCP_INVITES template? That fixed it last time and seems like it would work now too.

[akanevsky]

It's right in the XML. Just revert the modified version that you have.

[Bubble #5]

It's right in the XML.
Ah yes... isn't that a thing of beauty :nervous:

[akanevsky]

Indeed :)

>> Not all templates get updated to the new version.
It's because you have customized them. Hacks need to be able to update their templates, otherwise there may be problems.

Post it only here because it regards to your invite system!
Because what I mean was that if one user was invited (by invite system from you) and was deleted by the admin because the registration is moderated there will be standing : Deleted user and I think that will be not removed by your cron jobs!
But I can post it once more also in the hack requets if it will be helpfull!

What makes you think that Psionic has nothing better to do than to add this? You need to formally request it through the Hack Requests section, and then IF anyone wants to make it, and they have the time to make it, they will post it, but Psionic is very busy working on other things right now I'm sure :nervous: Merry Christmas.

[Bubble #5]

No problem Psionic :) I see people snapping their fingers on these boards all the time and telling coders to do this or to do that, as if coders have nothing better to do than to make custom features that only one person would ever use. It's real simple, if people want a certain feature then they can request it in the proper place, but when they 'assume or demand' that the feature be added just for them then that's crossing the line. They probably need to pick up a book and learn how to code and then the world is their oyster :nervous: That's what I'm doing now, I'm learning how to code. Some of it is hard, but some of it is easier than I ever expected. I do love learning about it though. You are a great inspiration Psionic. Have a safe and happy holiday, and thanks for all of your hard work here, a lot of us truly appreciate it :)

I came across a weird issue today.. a member on my forum invited a friend.. but another member also invited the same guy.. so he received 2 invites.. and gave the 2nd invite away to someone else.. I don't want that.. :ermm:
so could it be possible to check the mailadress entered in the form if it already has been invited? and also check if the mailadress is not on the banlist ?

Ok, there is another permission error:

When registration by invite only is set and e-mail confirmation is set. When a user registers an account after following an invite link, and the e-mail confirmation letter is e-mailed to the user, once the user clicks the e-mail verify link, they get a permission error.

Registration on this board is by invitation only.

[akanevsky]

That does not happen on a clean vBulletin 3.5.2 board that I just set up.

Do you have View Forum set to NO for Not Logged In Users? Because I had to shut it off, but I need it to be on.

That does not happen on a clean vBulletin 3.5.2 board that I just set up.

It happens if you have the Unregistered/Guest usergroup disallowed from Viewing the Forum. I just verified it. This seems related to the nopermission error bug which you submitted previously. I'm sure this problem can also be fixed in one line, I'm just not so sure on which line it is... any ideas???

That bug is fixed in vB 3.5.3

[MissKalunji]

Ok now how do i change the invite text?


language phrase manager / edit ....and search for them and save :-)

[maroulis]

amazing hack - but here's a question...

is there any way under invite history to be able to see name/email/date sent because right now I get this

Invites History
Status Issued Received Accepted By
Pending... Today
Pending... Today
Pending... Today

thanks

[nalim]

Well your invites need to be accepted first

[maroulis]

i understand but it would be nice from end-user point of view to know who he/she invited even though they are in pending state so adding email address or first/last name is what I'm asking

[opteek]

Ok, I've found a major problem in updateinvites_count.php.

I am getting a ton of users who have 0 reputation and no significant post count recieving 7 invites, one user on my system, who has a reputation of 0 and has not posted significantly this last week (I have one invite per 25 posts set) recieved -11 invites this last update.

If this could be looked into, I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, an option to give someone 1 invite per 5 reputation recieved, instead of having 1 invite per 1 reputation be the minimum, would be nice.

[akanevsky]

Also, an option to give someone 1 invite per 5 reputation recieved, instead of having 1 invite per 1 reputation be the minimum, would be nice.

Decimal invites? Doesn't make any sense.

If this could be looked into, I would greatly appreciate it.

There is nothing to be looked into. Specify a minimum required reputation to receive updates.

[XtremeOffroad]

Since upgrading to 3.5.3 the invite link no longer shows in the user cp, Any ideas?
I have reupped all files and still no luck.

[akanevsky]

You must also redo template edits.

[XtremeOffroad]

You must also redo template edits.
Did that as well.

Edit: It appears to be a permission setting but I can not find where.
Where is the system permissions to allow access to the Invite Manager?
I'm wondering if that is my problem.

Also If I go to mysite.invite.php I get the following error.
you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

[opteek]

Decimal invites? Doesn't make any sense.



There is nothing to be looked into. Specify a minimum required reputation to receive updates.

So basiclly, I can't disable the min_reputation_torecieve invites? I don't think you're understanding. These people are reciving way more invites then they are supposed to. They have not had any reputation changes since the last inviteupdates_count and much less than 25 posts, if any, yet they are reciving 7 invites, which clearly should NOT be happening...

And what is the deal with some guy getting -11 invites?? He has had a reputation of 0 from the beginning, so where is this coming from??

Any how do "decimal invites" not make any sense? It is the same principle as for posts. User recieves on invite for ever 25 posts; user recieves one invite for every 5 reputation he recieves..

[cat_aclysm]

I'm new to vbulletin, so please be gentle with me if I did something stupid here. I installed this exactly as specified, but I hit "run now" for the update invites count" in the scheduled task manager, and got this error:

Warning: Division by zero in /includes/cron/update_invitecounts.php on line 79

It hasn't given any invites out at all. What did I do?

[opteek]

download the hack again and reupload the file update_invitecounts.php

[cat_aclysm]

download the hack again and reupload the file update_invitecounts.php
Thanks, but I allready did that twice and got the same error. :disappointed:

[opteek]

Do you have 0 set for number of posts to recieve 1 invite? That would do it.

[cat_aclysm]

Do you have 0 set for number of posts to recieve 1 invite? That would do it.That would be a really stupid mistake, wouldn't it?

That is exactly what I did. :speechless: Thank you for helping.

Edit, oops, I made sure nothing is set to zero anymore, and I am still getting the same error. Apparently, that wasn't the fix I needed.

[IrPr]

works on 3.5.3 ?

[IrPr]

i upgrade my testboard to 3.5.3 and mail function is working
but invite mails not working
i donno maybe im too newbie here and need surfing forum more :D

Edit: works fine on 3.5.3

[opteek]

Is no one else having this problem with people getting too many or negative invitations?

[akanevsky]

Negative invitations are by design :)
As for too many, you need to set up the minimum amount of reputations and/or posts to receive new invitations.

[opteek]

Look man, I do have the settings configured properly. My settings are:

Invite System: Enabled
Registration by Inivites Only: Enabled
Mutual Buddies: Enabled
Image Verification: Enabled
Invite Expiration: 7
Min Posts to recieve changes in invites: 24
Min Reputation to Recieve Invites: -1
Invite Changes on Reputation: 1
Posts required to recieve One invite: 50

Now, people who have more than 24 posts are recieving 7 invites, when they should be recieving zero. This is due to your code, which starts invite_increment at 7 and subtracts 1 for every day inactive. So people that are active every day, yet make no posts or have any reputation changes are recieving 7 invites!!

Also, the user who recieved -11 invites had 3 posts in the last week and had NO reputation changes.

This is obviously not right; I have redownloaded your update_invitecounts.php file and verified that I am using the exact same file...

[IrPr]

is it possible to add a decline link to email contents that person whom invited can decline invite ?

[IML8RU2]

Hi. I'm new to all of this so may sound a bit stupid. :nervous:

I need help with the templates - can anyone give me a step by step instruction on how to install them? I've installed the program already but don't know how to make the template changes.

Thanks.

Natalie

[opteek]

In the admincontrol panel, search for templates in whatever style you want to modify. You can find whatever templates you want to customize that way. Then, click on Customize, or edit of the template is already customized. Find the code you're looking for, and replace it with the code you want. Presto

[IML8RU2]

Thanks! That worked perfectly.

Okay, I have installed everything, and maybe I'm blind, but I just cannot see how I actually invite anyone. Can anyone tell me.

Yawn.......it's late and I've been on this too long.

[EricaJoy]

Checking for email addresses that are already used on the board and translating them to show the members name would be nice. That way people who are already members don't get spammed to death with invites from board members.

[akanevsky]

So how can we make sure that only "direct" invites are valid?
There's no way I can think of.

What you suggested is pointless because you can easily edit your profile before you have your e-mail confirmed.

As for e-mail check, I'll implement that.

okay dokie :) i will!

[Tralala]

We did a full update to 3.5.3 with the hopes of initiating this excellent invite system, without having to turn on "Forum View" permission for guests (per Psionic Vision's note in the readme.html.)

But we're still having one issue with it: when an invitee clicks the email link to log in, they are told "You must be invited in order to be able to register on our board. Have a nice day."

(This happens despite the fact that the invitee is using the same link they were invited with.)

Now, we've set this (http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/showthread.php?t=30878) as our forum's default skin. It's a integral part of our forum's atmosphere and focus.

I notice that if the invitee uses the QuickStyle Chooser to switch to vBulletin's Default theme upon invite, then the invite goes through and then they can continue with the registration properly. I've tested it all the way through and it works, keeps referral's name intact and everything. It just doesn't work if the user doesn't manually change the style first with the QuickStyle Chooser pull-down below.

So is this is an issue specifically with our third party skin, and is there a workaround? Would this have anything to do with the "Forum View" permission issue in 3.5.2 and earlier?

I'd hate to have to change our default skin now back to vBulletin just to work around this, yet it's the only thing now standing in our way. I also don't see a way to set the default skin for solely the "Unregistered / Not Logged In" usergroup back to vBulletin... as that would have been an acceptable workaround too.

Now, we tried appending "&styleid=1" to the end of the invite link, in invites_letter, as that "forced" them in with the vBulletin original skin. But then the cookie is set, and they eventually validate their email and their account is approved, they log back in and they are still in the vBulletin original skin. :ermm: I'd like for them to welcomed inside with our customized skin, of course.

Any assistance with this last speedbump would be mightily appreciated.

[jimbocook]

Love this system! but although I have image verification on and can see the image in the control panel it's not being used during the registration process (for regular registrations OR referrals). The registration process still works, just no image verification.

I don't know if it just broke or broke some time ago. Since I personally haven't tested it in quite some time until I installed this.

Any ideas?

[Tralala]

WRT this setting: "How many days should be allowed until an invite is marked as "expired" and can no longer be used?"

Does that "expiration" apply to the time a current member has, to use the invites they've gotten? (ie: overriding the natural loss that comes from a sinking reputation.)


Or does it apply to the time once it's sent out from a current member to a new prospective forum participant, for the new person to use it?

[Tralala]

On my board I've set the AdminCP's Invite prefs so that "Invites Change on Reputation" is disabled completely. (We prefer a small and slow-building board, so we'd rather have mods update invites manually, or give everyone one invite once a week or whatever.)

However, despite me disabling it via the prefs, the cron job kicked off today and gave everyone lots of invites.

I just deleted the cron job to counteract the bug. Just figured I'd give you a heads up. Thanks for the great hack!

[RGSMDNR]

i have my ucash set to award cash to who ever gets a referral, is there something to integrate the two?

[DJDarknez]

OK, when I send out a test invite, it works. However, the link back to register.php is wrong. Where do I change this at?

[cd1986]

Maybe this has already been asked, but is there no way to be able to limit the number of invites when registration by invite only is disabled?

There are spam worries on one of my board, but we don't want registration to only be possible through invitation.

[Mr.D]

I got a question When will the new version be of invite system and what will be ini it. Will it be the option for admin to send invites by usergroup say i want to send a 100 invites to every users in special usergroup.

[IML8RU2]

I am having a registration problem. When I send an invite out, the person clicks on the link, enters the site and goes to the Forum Rules page. Right above the Rules box you have to check their is the coding ut type="hidden" name="do" value="register" /> Then, when they click the I Agree box it takes them to a page saying that they must be invited to join.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks.

Natalie

[akanevsky]

Yes. Make sure you copy and paste the WHOLE code from each window.

[IML8RU2]

Thanks for the quick reply. I've corrected the code so that I don't get the code above the Rules box anymore, but we still get the page saying that you need to be invited to join, even though they clicked on the link in the invite email.

I've made sure the Forum Permissions are put to Yes to view forums for Unregistered Users - should I be looking somewhere else. Any other suggestions?

Thanks! It's a great hack and I'm looking forward to using it fully.

its probably because in you rvb options

instead of using . domain.com/forum your only using domain.com check that out it should fix your problem

[shortbus1662]

couple of problems here.

Mainly, when it takes someone to the register screen after recieving an invite, the "referrer" field is blank.

Shouldn't this mod populate that field so they don't have to fill it in?

If not, won't this lead to people leaving it blank or misspelling the referrer name?

It doesn't work for me at all
All the users who receive the invitation mails, when they click on the link that take to register, they will see a message like this:
Our records show that you have already registered under the name of "NAME OF THE PERSON WHO SEND THE INVITATIONS". If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here.
It means if a user name FX sent the invitation, it will say
Our records show that you have already registered under the name of FX. If you have lost your password, click here. If you would like to modify your profile, click here.
Click Uninstall.

[IML8RU2]

For anyone who had the same problem as I did - invitees being told that they have to invited to join the forum, even when they click on the link in the invitation - I unistalled and then re-installed Invites and now it works perfectly.

[o0Hubba0o]

first of all just want to say that it is a great hack and i was looking for it...

Installed ;)

Also i am not familiar with cron jobs. Is there a chance to add earned invites every night at 11:59 instead of Monday?

Will it cause a big load? If it wont can you tell how must i change the second cron job...
It must of for me because my account got suspended for it:

Okay

You were running cron.php where it overloaded the server and they suspended you.

I will get in touch with tech support and ask them what is going on... I will try to be able to get into your account so that I can look at what happened.

If nothing, a look at your database might help"Something happened with your site last night it appears. There was a huge load on the server, and tech support said they disabled the account."
"running cron.php hundreds of times - load was 68"

We translated the dateline and the invites was the cron running at the time, and it was the only hack with a cron I installed earlier that night. This could obviously just be an issue with my server since I don't see anyone else having this problem, and since mines free I'm not going to complain. ;)

However this system itself isn't practical for my forums, it's a great system so I wanted to try it out, but with the server problem I had and not really needed at my site I unistalled it.

I do have this hack bookmarked for a site I plan on starting this summer that I would like to have as an invite only membership....and it will be on a different server. ;)

So while it didn't work for me, great work once again psi, keep it up!

I'm concerned my users will invite someone who's been banned, a known troublemaker to the mods. I realize that if the jerk tries to sign up again, his email addy or IP address will keep them away, but I'd prefer if the invite never got sent in the first place. (Perhaps with a message explaining to the inviter, "please contact an admin for explanation.")

Is there a way for there to be some blacklist of certain email addresses that cannot receive invites? That'd help alleviate some anxiety and awkwardness on my forums.

[Tralala]

We're still getting the message "You must be invited....." even after the person clicks on the link in the invite email. Any suggestions?


Same thing happened to me. Turns out it wasn't happy with our default (third-party) skin for some reason. Worked fine on vBulletin's built-in one. So I rigged the invite email to "force" users into the vBulletin skin for registration, and the final confirmation email to force then back to my forum's third-party default one. (I detailed this workaround above.)

Glad it's working for ya now, though!

Just turn on "Require Unique Email Addresses" in vbulletin options, and the user wont be able to register with same email addy.

That probably has to do with different html tag placements in different skins... You have to look at it yourself, as I only support my hacks when applied to default vbulletin installation and a default skin.

[Tralala]

Well, sure, that'll prevent them from being able to sign up, but it creates an incendiary situation when they keep getting invites from members (yet can't actually register.)

Why allow an invite to be sent when the forum is just going to reject them later on? I'd just as soon not poke the bear and piss them off. I was hoping for a more elegant way to deal with this touchy situation. Their email addies are already in the "User Banning Options -> Banned Email Addresses" ... would be great if the Invites System looked at that and helped avoid discomfort.

Mr.D asked the same question above, and Psionic Vision said he'd work on it for the next version.

A few weeks back I was looking at the cron job to see how invites were issued via reputation gains, and was considering tweaking/simplifying it to allow for it to simply give every member 2 invites (which is how I'd prefer my forums to work)... but I got in over my head, and ultimately figured I'd just wait for Mr. Vision to introduce the feature properly.

In the meantime, you can manually give users invites in the AdminCP. Not easy and not automatic, but it works now.

[Jayphen]

Mr.D asked the same question above, and Psionic Vision said he'd work on it for the next version.

It wasn't the same question. Mr. D asked how you can give say 100 invites to a certain person. I asked how I can send out a batch of initial invites, before my forum has any more than one member (myself)

[akanevsky]

Give yourself 100 invites by editing your own account via admincp... And then send out the invites....

[Mr.D]

Tralala, Mr.d:

I see what you mean. Wait until next version.


Hi
Can you tell me when will you make the next version?

[akanevsky]

I do not answer this kind of questions.

[coolnikin]

I just installed this hack and it gave 10 invites to all the users , how can i remove those invites ?

[akanevsky]

Run the following query:
UPDATE PFXuser SET invites = 0
But don't forget to replace PFX with your table prefix.

I think this is a great hack!

Q1: Can I see the invites sent by members of the board?
Q2: Can I cc: myself on all invites sent?
Q3: What happens to expired invites?
Q4: If I have the by invitation only selected to yes, does the clean up jobs run?
---
Idea 1: Maybe add a AdminCP module for all invites sent and a way to mass clean them up. Also in the Admin module a please to cancel delete invitations.

Idea 2: Allow the system to retain the invites for future use or re invite.

Idea 3: Stats on the top invites.

Idea 4: Leverage the member db, to check and see if a member is already on the board.

Idea 5: Optional field on the invite form for invitors first name.

Again Awesome Hack!

A1: No, but if you install a referrer statistics hack and turn on referrers, then you will see the statistics of who invited who.
A2: No, and I don't think you would want to get loads of letters on your e-mail box.
A3: They cannot be used anymore, but they stay in the user's invite log.
A4: The cron runs regardless of the settings.

AI1: What would be the point of that?
AI2: Again, what would be the point of that if users automatically gain more invites to issue?
AI3: Install a referrer statistics hack.
AI4: Yes, that features is present in the commercial version of this hack... The commercial version will be available on my website.
AI5: That might be considered, although it might be used for altering self-identify which sometime may not be good.

F: Thanks!

You can find the referrer statistics hack right in my profile.
As an alternative, you can use the referrer statistics hack made by Michelle.

And thanks. :)
