https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59708

i have ported for 3.5.x thnkx for Erwin for this g8 hack

Installation is easy
read the readme file

in navbar template put this code somewhere
<a href="sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1
">Refer to Friend</a>

thats it :rolleyes:

[BoYagoob]

Very nice hack, Hasann ..

but can you rename this file: sendmessage.php to a different name, because there is already a file in our forums like this:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/sendmessage.php

Thanks a lot bro.

[Hasann]

you must new sendmessage.php overwrite with old sendmessage.php

[rb290]

isnt this like the invites system ?

[kadafi_alive]

Hi,

For some reason, it doesn't synch with the template.

See this image (http://www.islamdot.com/notsynced.JPG)

[Snake]

Wow this nice thanks!

[nexialys]

@Hasann, this is not the proper way to do things...

you have to use the Hooks system when possible, so people don't have to edit their files.

also, you can't ask for users to overwrite their other files, so if there is some file to edit, please provide the instructions for editing, instead of giving a file to overwrite.

[ReZ]

It is possible to have this shown in the User CP section?

[akanevsky]

It is not exactly like invites system, because it does not send out invites, but instead only simple referrerid links ;P

Hasann - Please write instructions in a .txt file of how to modify the sendmessage.php file

Cool hack :D

Thank you for sharing.

[bashy]

Hi

I would like this to actually show in the navbar, instead its just above it, or below it :(

How can i change this

<a href="sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1
">Refer a Friend</a>

To this

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="online.php?$session
[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[whos_online]</a></td>

Regards

Bashy

[nexus851]

how do u add multiple SEND TO email fields so that you can send a batch of emails at once to all your friends, rather than just 1

[Necron]

.. is edit 1 and 3 the same piece of code, just in 2 different ways?

[Detomah]

As a lot of other people probably do, I use the sendmessage.php file on my contact page.

Does the fact you have to overwrite that file for this addon effect the normal contact page bits in any way?

I would love to use this addon, but i'm not going to until I am clear about this issue.

[Snake]

Lovely it's working like a charm except the look of the skin. Take a look...

How can I fix it?

[Darkfire122333]

Here is a simple code to change it to what you wanted bashy, just enter this into the navbar and it will go into the navbar.. Enjoy

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1">Refer to Friend</a></td>

[swa]

Would it be possible to have this come up after someone signs up for your site?

[Snake]

How do I fix that? Please guide me...

[Hasann]

How do I fix that? Please guide me...

open refertofriend template and change this code

<td class="alt1" valign="top"><b>Message:</b></td>
<td class="alt1"><textarea name="emailmessage" rows="10" cols="50">I thought you might be interested in joining me at $vboptions[bbtitle]! Click here to check it out:
$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]

to
<td class="alt1" valign="top"><b>Message:</b></td>
<td class="alt1"><textarea name="emailmessage" rows="10" cols="30">I thought you might be interested in joining me at $vboptions[bbtitle]! Click here to check it out:
$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]

[Snake]

I tried that and it still the same.

[Darkfire122333]

<if condition="$show['member']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1">Send to Friend</a></td>
</if>


There you go, Enjoy.

[Darkfire122333]

I tried that and it still the same.

What do you exactly want changed? If I know the source that you wanted changed, I could modify it for you.

Just quote what you wanted changed, and a little definition of what you wanted it to look like, and I could work from there.

[Snake]

Look at this image...

http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/1696/probfr5qp.jpg

It's looking kinda messed up because of my skin as it is modified differently. You see, that blank black bg thingy is messing up with the skin...

[Darkfire122333]

In Template refertofriend

Replace:

<table cellpadding="$stylevar[outerborderwidth]" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="tborder" width="$stylevar[tablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%">


With:

<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1" class="tborder" width="0" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" border="1" width="100%">


DEMO:
http://fortsask.be/sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1

Hint: To remove the mini borders, just excange the 1's to 0's and they will be gone.

[Snake]

Nevermind...

Thanks!

[Snake]

Yeah it's working now. Thank you.

[Darkfire122333]

No Problem, Just glad to help.

[clasione]

I could not find the last bit of code in my document for this modification...... I'm using 3.5.3

Someone should work out a plug in for this...... I though that was what 3.5.3 was really all about... using plug-ins instead of having to change files....

[Snake]

Is it possible NOT to include the refer ID while inviting friends? It seems I can't do that because I'm getting a permission error.

[cbr929rrerion]

I am not sure how to word this but due to this tool not using image verification it opens up your domain for a security risk and spamming.

I found out the hard way after 65 Gig of email traffic thats was traced back.

I have since uninstalled this mod to say the least and if image verification does get added I would consider adding it back. But only if security is addressed.

[Burley]

I clicked install, but it would be nice if you would update your manual so it also is compatible with 3.5.4

anyway, nice hack

wow, and uninstalled it

[ThePimp]

Someone should write an add-on for this that collects the email addresses. :)

[Burley]

good idea, but don't forget the security issue then

[grains]

Is this just "Upload the product" or do we have to make changes to the file as well?

[mountainlife]

has security with a verify image been added, if not can anyone do this we REALLY need a refer a freind!

[Exitilus]

You can always set some if conditions making a person be a member and making them have over a xx amount of posts to get around someone spamming.

Other than that it seems pretty good. going to install and test it here in a bit

Edit: woops didn't notice this required code edit So I won't be installing :) But stil you could add if conditions like i said for security

[---MAD---]

this doesnt seem to work on 3.5.4

[hotwheels]

I too can't seem to get this to work...........3.5.4

It has to pieces of .php change's that are the same coding.. This code if (!$_REQUEST['refer'])
{
if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewthreads']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canemail']) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers'])))
{
print_no_permission();
}
}

and this code are in the same location if (!$_REQUEST['refer'])
{
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'sendtofriend' OR $_POST['do'] == 'dosendtofriend')
{
$forumperms = fetch_permissions($threadinfo['forumid']);

if (!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewthreads']) OR !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canemail']) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canviewothers'])))
{
print_no_permission();
}

// check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

}
}

Is this not vulnerable by spammers to use it for sending out spam through our server?

[soletrader]

[paul41598]

I have this working on 3.5.4 now

[rex_b]

[leftie]

EDIT. Ooops found out hw to do it here. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=125633

[Mum]

Is it bad to edit that file?

Is there one of these written for 3.6. yet? I can't find it anywhere.
