Contact's Inviter MSN/Yahoo/Gmail & MORE

[lebanon]

I just finished this for my website and had it tested, every thing seems working fine
except the basic design i made, hopefully someone would redesign it and submit it :)

What is this ?
Like major websites, they grew using Invite systems , and prompting their users to send invites to their own contact lists.
This is a vbulletin clone, made as much simply as possible, to do its job
I am not a designer, that will explain the simple tables and designs used.

REQUIREMENTS : PLEASE PAY ATTENTION
You need PHP COMPILED WITH CURL WITH SSL FOR THIS TO WORK and can open remote urls.
The script works fine on many major hosts and custom configurations but the requirements cannot be bypassed.

Demo can be "viewed" on http://www.tchatting.com/forum/inviter.php
However, you need to be registered to test it and will send invites to my own forum.

Features :
Group Permissions , you can specify permissions for every group to be allowed to send invites or not.

Imports contacts from hotmail, live, yahoo, mail, lycosmail , indiatimes, rediffmail and aol
I have tested those mail successfully ( thanks for those who provided their mails to test upon as i didnt have time to register on all these sites )

Installation :
Import 1 xml file
Upload the rest to corresponding folders
EDIT postage.php BEFORE uploading
You will need to modify
$subject = "you are invited to join us!";

$from = "NOTSPAM@YOURDOMAIN";
and optionally $message variable to suit your own liking

I will try to support this as much as i can, to better help you please confirm with your host if curl with ssl is compiled at your host before asking.
If your running on Major Host companies, mention their name perhaps other members could help too or i might know of.

Thats it for now ! Be Kind , Click INSTALL !
If you appreciate this kindly reserve the copyright text, or contact me about branding free options.

As its the first release of this addon, provide feedback to help improve this product.
I will try to support it as much as i can but be aware that occasionally these mail providers change their structure, so there is no guarantees on working time.


Here is a demo on my test board http://www.dotleb.org/upload/inviter.php
This demo will NOT SEND MAIL OUT ! , it will import you contacts but will not send even if you click send ! ( we dont want inviting to a test board do we ! )

April 29th : Updated the zip file, for missing line in myhotmail.php resulting in not showing the send button for old hotmail style inboxes.

April 30th : Luky (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=167012)added another redesigned template here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=146088)

In progress : Check invites against database to avoid inviting current users by Zia's suggestion (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1238041&postcount=76)

May 3rd :
Two changes were made
a-) Moved all files with proper changes to folder /inviter/ in forum root ( this is due to the fact that even though most hosts do not require chmod but seems some are still having this problem, especially when writing yahoo temporary files, also this cleans up a little on your forum root .
b-) Added a check array on emails against db,
This will check emails that are being sent against your own database, thus if someone is inviting a person who already exist as a member, will not receive the invite email !
Technical details : The line
$comma_separated = implode(",", $my_array); // you can change the , to another separator if you want
You can also use the variable $comma_separated to print a warning in the invite_code2 template , for example

The following list of emails did not receive your invitation because they are already members <center> $comma_separated <center>

Also note, that I did choose not to add the emails being invited to database because that is more like stealing user's contact list emails!

UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS
Delete all prior 11 php files on the forum root, and upload the new folder structure as
inviter.php and postage.php to forum root, and the folder as /inviter/
No other changes are necessary !
If you want to keep your folder structure and just obtain the DB Check feature, just replace the postage.php file !



Godaddy Hosting and Wild West resold hosting Note :
You will find pages loading and returning no result, that is because ythey use a curl proxy, for every file in the hack find
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
and replace with

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,"http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128");

This will enable the hack to work on their hosting setup !

MAY 30TH :

First sorry for not supporting this as much as earlier i did but due to the busy incidents at lebanon and my actual job in a local newspaper department there was no time for personal hobbies .
This update, with a special Thanks to The Bish who volunteered his ftp access to fix the Yahoo import error .
The script itself had no problems, but due to different servers configurations the problems he faced could also be yours .
Download and update your script with May-30 Project zip file ONLY IF all other scripts are working EXCEPT myyahoo.php !
Extra NOTES to avoid myyahoo.php errors :
chmod folder inviter 777
chmod *.php files (inside the /invite/ folder ) 755 ( ie: myyahoo.php mygmail.php etc )
chmod *.txt files (inside the /invite/ folder ) 777

Another issue was noted when using VBSEO script is to EXCLUDE inviter.php & postage.php from vbseo config administration page ( you should know how to when using vbseo )

These steps has resolved the errors caused by yahoo importer when other importers worked but not yahoo !

[zhabbo]

Thanks installed
It all seems to be working fine currently

[nexialys]

no download hit and one install... strange...

some screenshot please... so we understand the goal !!

[lebanon]

i forgot my demo is unaccessible, ill post the demo on another link

[zhabbo]

Ooops sorry, pressed it now

[abramelin]

how can i knof that if my dedicated server supports curl with ssl is compiled ? can i see these in phpinfo?

[kartik786]

does it work with vb 3.6.4 ?

[lebanon]

yes these are viewable , just scroll down to CURL section and see if it has SSL, such as OpenSSL

Kartik , yes it should work on all previous versions that support installer,

[akulion]

hi lebanon
i tried registering on ur forum to see the deom
but it seems somethings messed up on ur site
i havent gotten an email for confirmation yet
and furthermore the registration message looks like this on ur site...

Thank you for registering, $username. An email has been dispatched to $email with details on how to activate your account. Click here to return to where you were previously.

You will receive an email in your inbox. You MUST follow the link in that email before you can post on these forums. Until you do that, you will be told that you do not have permission to post.

Attention HOTMAIL, AOL , YAHOO, or any other free service please check your junk folder for activation email ! Also to make sure you recieve future emails please click on NOT JUNK MAIL in your email message !


its not supposed to show $username and $email but it is on ur site

so i suspect the emails are not getting sent
can u check? my username there should be aku

[abramelin]

there is no curl section in my phpinfo but there is openssl so ?

[akulion]

abramelin its likely to work with CURL

the thing u should be worried about is when it uses fopen

[akulion]

everything seems to be working
but when i invite people i get this


Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/.cash/akulion/path-to-peace.com/community/postage.php
Line: 6


any ideas?

[abramelin]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/hebele/public_html/mygmail.php on line 43


any ideas?

[lebanon]

yes the uploaded postage had uncleaned code i updated the attachment
For you just open postage.php remove the first lines
<head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us"> </head>
and save, that will fix the headers issue.
Sorry, i uploaded the first attachment first time !

[lebanon]

akulion ! yes this happened today, i was updating phrases and this happened, thank you for bringing this to my attention, ill get to fix it right away !

edit: fixed i accidentally duplicated my phrases with another, i reverted them and working fine now.

does this mean that i dont have curl and fopen?

[kartik786]

Does it support CRON ?

If someone adds hundreds and thousands of contacts and then sends invites.. my host will shut down the mail server.

[akulion]

Does it support CRON ?

let me tell u a neat lil trick for this problem

I used to have it too - my host would give me a LOT of trouble when I would send a news letter to my 1500+ members

this is what I did...

Go to: https://domains.live.com

It will give u instructions on how to get your domain registered with hotmail.
Once you do that and change your custom MX settings to point to their servers...guess what?

You will be able to make and even give out (optional) email address like username@yourdomain.com

The good thing about this is..since your email is now powered by hotmail...so you dont get annoying restrictions with amount of emails u can send or other stuff
enjoy:)

[GizmoPhreak]

Im with dreamhost..will it work?

[bazzup]

probably being stupid here but once you import how do you send?

bazz

[akulion]

Im with dreamhost..will it work?

im with DH too and its workin A-OK for me


@bazzup to send use this addy: http://yoursite.com/inviter.php

u will have to add the link manually to ur navbar ot menu or place a benner somewhere like I did..

If u want a banner u can use this one, just use a graphic editing software to edit the page name..

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2007/04/1.png

[bashy]

It will not fetch my contacts...
I have added the correct details and it says

No Details Found: Please make sure you have entered correct login details and try again.

Any ideas please, yes the details are 100% correct

[COBRAws]

whats the difference with http://www.visionscripts.com/?page=products&vsproductid=3 ?

[bollie]

No Details Found: Please make sure you have entered correct login details and try again.

login are correct

[Hornstar]

Hey nice work, i recently paid for the invision scripts version, but this one is looking impressive already.

Same error here for yahoo and gmail.

It did fetch the email list from hotmail but when I clicked the send mail, i could only see a blank page.

[rclark666]

It imports my contacts but i can't see a send button anywhere. Is there a reason for this?

[bazzup]

It imports my contacts but i can't see a send button anywhere. Is there a reason for this?

thats what i got i got a link on my navbar but no send button??

[rclark666]

Thanks Baz nice to know im not being stupid for a change...

Whats the code to send the emails and i can add it in?

[lebanon]

for all those installs who are having "no details found" but are certain that details are correct and curl is installed
is due to a simple reason, i said CURL +SSL not just curl , so curl alone is not a guarantee you can open SSL pages with curl, you need curl with SSL , most hosts who install curl allow it with OpenSSL which makes the script work.
As to the differences between this and invision one, i havent seen it but i took a look at its description, obviously he added more controls on the groups and has a nice option to not allow duplicates invites to same email (which could be in both 2 users contact lists )
I have not added such checks so far, further more this script is free and does not promise the updates or support he promises, so the rest is up to the user to choose
as for requirements, both scripts will require the same, no work around this one.

[rclark666]

How do i get the send button to appear tho mate?

[bashy]

Hi

I have openssl, thats what the info says anyway

curl

CURL support enabled CURL Information libcurl/7.16.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7m zlib/1.2.2

[lebanon]

rclark the send button will appear once your contacts are imported.
Bashy , yes but in the curl section does it show ssl too ? 99.9 of hosts have ssl or curl, whats needed is ssl with curl exactly
lets say godaddy hosting for example says , but yet the script WONT work this way
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.10.6 OpenSSL/0.9.7a ipv6 zlib/1.2.3
because they also have a proxy to be used with curl and requires a modification to be applied on all importer scripts.
Do check this info first, then again ask your host ... the script does not heavily modify vbulletin nor its code, its truely based on your host rather than its vb integration was more easier than the code itself.
regards

[bashy]

So libcurl/7.16.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7m zlib/1.2.2 on mine will not work is this correct?
I have to get my host (managed dedicated server) to compile ssl with curl is this correct and the correct term to say to them?

[lebanon]

bashy , yes , if its cpanel for example it will be very easy from apache update with proper checkboxes ( no need for command line knowledge ) if its using shell i can also guide you on the proper command to install it.,

[bazzup]

send button dont show up i have imported my contacts ok

[lebanon]

bazzap is this happening on all imports ? or on a specific aol for example ? have u tried another import ? just to insure if i missed one of the imports buttons or its a general error on ur forum ?

[bashy]

I have DirectAdmin

Is it simple to do with SSH or should i just get my host to sort it?

bashy , yes , if its cpanel for example it will be very easy from apache update with proper checkboxes ( no need for command line knowledge ) if its using shell i can also guide you on the proper command to install it.,

[kushal]

Good script and very easy to operate. The default is selected with all email ID's of contact, and 'select/un-select all' should be added so that selectively we can send the email.

[Jeffler]

Would be nice if I could.

[kartik786]

i m on dreamhost which offers curl + SSL

Still its nt workin fr me

[RichieBoy67]

Any way you can create a demo account so we can test?

Can someone explain this in a little more detail???

it allows members to import thier contact list from thier webmail??? Is that the basic premise of this????

People will really do this on a forum??? I am not trying to sound negative. I am just trying to understand if this is something I should install or not...

Thanks

[Ahsin1]

Well i have a dedicated server i am able to import contacts but there is no Invite button could u please Helo

Thanks
Ahsin

[Coders Shack]

no its meant to send invitation emails to the users contact list. inviting them to your forum.. Please read..

[ldwebtech]

while i am using the inviter.php getting the following error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/torrents/public_html/myindiatimes.php on line 25

Plz tell me the solution for this problem.

thanks

My contacts are imported from hotmail with tick boxes next to each contact. But i have no send button. Please help me.

[kushal]

At the bottom of the contact there will be 'Send email to members'.

[bazzup]

At the bottom of the contact there will be 'Send email to members'.

mines the same as rclark666's imports them ok tic boxes are there with contacts, but there really is no send button you are welcome to look


http://www.fonesandsport.com/forum/inviter.php

[rclark666]

At the bottom of the contact there will be 'Send email to members'.

But there isn't.........can you copy the sortcut link from the button so i can test it?

[Luky]

Thanks alot, hope hostgator got them requirements =]

[bazzup]

But there isn't.........can you copy the sortcut link from the button so i can test it?



good idea i tried the testboard up the top and i dont even see a send button on that one do you?

[Luky]

http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/7830/123di2.jpg

??? I didnt try, but i can see a button ;)

[bazzup]

yeah i see that button i imported my contacts no problems there but once imported i dont see a button to send them the invite

[rclark666]

The same problem here as Baz m8

[lebanon]

bashy, am afraid to let u do it on command line since u sound like u never done it before. As sometimes, things could go wrong and you might need a fast recompile or safe failure, its better to let an expert recompile your pho with your apache for this.
Richie, they do it on myspace, facebook, hi5 and most popular sites, they ask you to put ur hotmail login for example and automated invite to all your contacts is sent (havent u ever recieved an invite to such sites from a friend ?) unlike them, i added the list to output so it can let you exclude some emails from receiving such invite ...

selectall/unselect will be added to my future update.
Ahsin1 , is this happening on all imports? i mean a specific import script or on all email types ?

[lebanon]

bazzup ! Its there ... i dont know what are u talkin about here is teh attachement
i just tried it on your own board using ur test account provided

I know many would find problems using curl and ssl to be in their installations, but as long as thats there , the rest is such a plugnplay :)

rclark , would u also mind posting a test account ??

[bazzup]

cheers for reply your image there makes me look silly lol :) but heres my screener that button is deffo not there

(http://footballchatforums.com/inviter.php)

[bazzup]

strange i just tried this with another email address and it works??

got someone else to try it too and there was no send button maybe worth while asking a few random members if this works for them too

[lebanon]

Ok just a question, what TYPE of emails are you testing on ?
Hotmail ? Aol ? Gmail ?
Which email exactly returned this error ?

[lebanon]

I think i might have found ur problem ....
In myhotmail.php its missing that button, and it didnt show on tests because most hotmail boxes are now converted to live and using mylive.php , so what you have to do is (if this is the case )

in the last lines in myhotmail.php
replace the line starting with
echo '</table></center></div>
with :
echo '</table></center></div><input type="submit" value="Send Email To Contacts">';

Am updating the zip file for new downloads to fix this issue , u need to replace myhotmail.php

Again i hope this was the problem :)

[bazzup]

sounds like it could be lebanon because the account it worked on was a live account my other one is'nt try it now and feed back to you

regards bazz

*edit working just fine thanks for the support

Do other scripts works and only yahoo returns the error for u ?

[TR?PST?R]

trapstar , the argument supplied right after foreach is the mail() function.
You do have that allowed right ? I mean u can use mail directly from php or do u pass thru smtp proxy or relay ? do u know this information ?

BBI-Ross , the file to be opened is myyahoo.php and its cookie, however if other files can open that means normally permissions on your webserver are correct , just a question, are u sure you uploaded all the text files ?
take a look if you havent missed the yahoo txt when uploading.

[TR?PST?R]

hmm how do I know if it is allowed?

[Zia]

hahahahahaah
i am sure pisionic vision allready started crying...hahahahaahah
this one is the work of the year

I have some query & request..if u dont mind..

*This one is not using any data base?
*If any e-mail id allready registerd by any user n some one tries to send invite again to the id? what will be result?
*This inviter will send any invite reminder ?
*After how many days invite will be expire?
*Can u plese add invite template with the invite msg..html template like hi5/multiply or etc..
invite sender can choose he/she wants to send plain text invite or pre-defined template ?
*Invite msg can contain auto grabed info of froum like : users/post/etc

Pls see bellow i have post a screen shot of another invite system...
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1569/invtey4.gif
can u pls add this system to the inviter.php page ?? becoz some may want to send invite some particular mail id which is out of all sort of IM.


Kliks install.

Thanx...looking for ur co-operation.

[lebanon]

Zia, you braught up some good modification changes, i will await few more days and then i could release updated version with some of what you mentioned.

To answer one of you question which is the most important, if someone registered already will not be able to use the second invite, so the thing is there is two ways to modify this :
1: Store each sent invite to which email , so they dont recieve second invite
BUT this has 2 disadvantages
a- We are overriding users privacy and storing their emails in our database no ?
b- what if the user didnt register first time, and did later accept the invite from another?
2- Same point can be resolved in another easier solution
Add a check when emails are about to be sent out, if email array is in database, will not recieve another invite, but doesnt matter if someone else have sent him earlier or not
This way , we are not storing any emails in database ( privacy compliant ) and we are comparing against our own database without further storage.

I do know your point can be resolved with other listed resolutions but am not going to be attacked by all those who will rise to complain about script usage and privacy plus i personally will not use an invite system that will copy my contact list for many reasons. Would you?

[lebanon]

BBI-ross, well it could be because the yahoo actually writes a second file on ur system, and that will require writing permission, however (normally) since you are able to write on an open file, you should have been able to write on non-existant file.
Ill try to send you a modified yahoo file, where it writes on a temporary folder then u chmod that folder to 777, lets see if that resolve it, for now dont try to chmod ur whole directory it will comprimise your security.
As for gmail, the error is clear, your php.ini setting doesnt allow the function to work.

Yeah, the php safe mode is a pain :(

Well if it all works now, i will install and test. Thanks alot, keep us posted with the updates! ;)

Hi
I like this hack and I was looking for it
it's very useful
I use it in my web site it's very good
and I have Some ideas to the new version
1- support html in the message
2- edit every thing in ( admincp ) don't need to open the files
3- save the E-mails in the DB to resend them after some days if they didn't register
4- add name of the forum in the message
5- add page to show who send to his email contact
6- allow the user to add some text with support BbCode

thanks :)
I know that I have some error in the spelling
sorry for that :)

[Luky]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=146088 <- My new better looking layout of it :D

[Luky]

Oh and here are 2 suggestions i can think of to stop people abusing this:

1. Only allow invitations sent out per email provider every 1 month minimum wait time per user

OR

2. Don't email the same person twice in a month, Eg. If Harry has Bob on his list and does an invite, bob will get an invite.. But if frank, bill, chuck norris, alfred and norbert have bob and do invites, bob will become rather infuriated leaving a negative effect on the forum

Edit: please impliment the feature of .net passports so i can use my MSN list, i am on GMAIL, i tried signing into the hotmail, normally works but with this mod it say incorrect details..

[Zia]

Helo Lebanon..

Thanks for ur reply..
right now we are using Pisionic Vision's msn inviter..
its criteria : before sending invite mails it check mail id allready invite by some one or not.
like:
X can stay Y & Z's IM.
If Y send invite to X and the invite stats is active(not expierd) ,
upto then Z cant send invite to X.



vip-q.com (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1238154&postcount=82) also requested some nice point could be added

Hoping you will consider all of our request...cos thousands of us are waiting something like that...

Thanx for ur co-operation.

[lebanon]

well again id take into consideration the html and admincp editing, maybe through phrases, but as for saving emails, we are back to same point, i will not intentionally provide saving data of the users , resending emails in x days means we saved the email addys into database.
The vision's version also has same problem, the email whom had the invite is expired or not means he saved it into the database, am not going to support this action, modify it at your own risk, and as i said , would you invite on my forum if you know am saving your contacts into my database ?
This is also will cause another problem with spam issues, as long as the user sends the email and once, and this is noted in his email , i think its okey, resending it, is sending to users we are not allowed to!
Another point i already responded to.
User X sent invite to Y , Y didnt respond, if we dont allow resending meaning, if user Z also invited Y , we could gain another chance he responds to this user no ?

The only legit and reasonable check to be added is "Email in our database = we dont want to invite him again do we ? " , and this is what am gonna add in a day or two.

[Zia]

:) as i realize u dont want to put email id with in DB.
Its fine man...im fond of ur work its been long enough..
just hope u will make it a perfect pack of invite/importer system :)

Try CHMOD because there is a permissions error in that...

[sonjubaba]

my domain n hosting is on godaddy.com will it work ?

it seems its not working...error type: remoteserver closed...

[The Bish]

Try CHMOD because there is a permissions error in that...

OK I tried CHMOD and it did not work. However, what am I suppose to CHMOD exactly? I tried the specific .php file it was calling. Anyway, let me know if I am missunderstanding something.

Regards,

[Luky]

I honestly dont know.

Google this maby? :
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init()

[Endurer]

The Bish, maybe you should CHMOD the cookie files to 666 and see if it works.

You Sir are a Gentleman and a Scholar. Damn I am glad I checked back before I deleted this hack.

Working like a champ... well at least I got it to import.

Much appreciated Endurer!!

[The Bish]

Import worked for Hotmail but once I send the screen simply blanks white.

I saw a post about this earlier but there was not resolution offered. Did I miss something.

Sorry about the trouble!

I was getting the same problem when editing the postage.php file using notepad. But then I reverted to the orginal and edited it with frontpage instead and now it is working like a dream. Thanks lebanon :D

Top notch hack!

[BuyHostCheap]

i had the same problem bish had.. but i chmod to 666 and the warning changed...

Warning: fopen(prakash4design@yahoo.com) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /myyahoo.php on line 223
can't open file

chmod - 644.. hotmail.php is also 644 but it works!! yahoo doesnt work

Trying chaging the permission on the cookie.php files to 666. Had a similar problem on a mates server and it solved that.

[hotmasala4u]

Can U Register And Invite Both???

[Mupetz]

I get blank page on all providers after 1 min loading. What's up with that ? :)
Thank you

Anybody running on goddady got it work ?

[MissKalunji]

Works fine on my end so far

[vitrag24]

[vitrag24]

[lebanon]

my domain n hosting is on godaddy.com will it work ?


it seems its not working...error type: remoteserver closed...

It works fine on godaddy hosting, except that they only allow curl through a proxy of their own.
so ill update you in few hours with files that works on their setup ot instructions on how to do that , but i have made it work there thats for sure :)

edit: i updated the instructions above, read on how to fix yours to work with godaddy :)

[lebanon]

Thank you

Anybody running on goddady got it work ?

what host are u using ?

[Mupetz]

what host are u using ?
Godaddy.
I have updated all the lines in each provider files like you said and it is working now. But still, there is one more problem.
It imports the contacts and after "Send Email to Contacts" action, it loads a bit then the postage.php blank page appears.
The thing is it is sending the emails now but it doesn't give the confirmation page at the end.

Thank you.

[lebanon]

is the postage file downloaded before 29th april ? if yes reupload the newest file .., the latest one working fine as far as i know

Someone with normal hosting at godaddy having the same problem ?
Please reply.

[Aur-Phala.Com]

hi great script i created one myself before for guests to use b4 signing up
is there anyway possibile to make it so a user cannot choose what contacts to invite and it auto invites alll
please answer soon as possible cheers

Please reply.

I am with Knownhost and have VPS and everything is installed which needs to be.

I get the blank white page and have the most current file available.

Thoughts?

The Bish

[lebanon]

the bish the only white page u get is in postage file ? the rest is fine ?

[lebanon]

MissKalungi ... am going to check about those domains ( i suppose they will work same as hotmail , give me few hours to check )

edit: I cant seem to get into signup page for hotmail.co.uk , probably ip checks and sounds too much ,
logically , i believe they have same structure but probably a different by101fd.bay101.hotmail.msn.com url ,
or provide me with a user/pass for domains needed to see what can be done

[The Bish]

the bish the only white page u get is in postage file ? the rest is fine ?

That would be correct.

[lebanon]

this can be changed from

type="checkbox" name="list[]"

this can be found at the end of the scripts included pages, then u can change checkbox to hidden, thus the forms will be echoed only in the html without posting the user's choice, but i advice against that.!

[lebanon]

thbish, could u please check invitecode2 template was correctly inserted into your styles and templates ?
Could u also verify u made the correct edits into the postage file ( $from variable mostly ? )

[The Bish]

thank u for the reply
will keep this in mind if i decide in future :)

also wondering if you know how i cud make it so whe na user registers it redirects to invite page after they joined so they join and they are on invite page after they finish joining

[The Bish]

thbish, could u please check invitecode2 template was correctly inserted into your styles and templates ?

$from = "admin@verbaldouche.com";

and the 'invitecode2' template is there. Looks exactly like the one provided in the zip.

[Mupetz]

$from = "admin@verbaldouche.com";

and the 'invitecode2' template is there. Looks exactly like the one provided in the zip.
Same here

[lebanon]

ok kindly do this ( for debugging purposes only )

find

foreach($_POST['list'] as $to) {



mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from");



}

replace with

foreach($_POST['list'] as $to) {



echo ("emailing $to");



}


this ofcourse will not send the mails but will print out its sending them ...
If it did print the emails as emailing , then the problem will be in mail() function as in ur host configuration (we'll get to that if thats the problem)

if that didnt print output, trying removing the whole three lines and replace with

echo "nothing";

[The Bish]

I found the problem....

Upload the postage.php file in BINARY mode.

I checked my file on the DB and it was a string... I uploaded in BINARY and it looks normal.

I went in a tested and everything worked perfectly!

Thanks for the help and sorry I did not try this sooner.

[The Bish]

I wuld like the file for Yahoo as well. I have messed with the file permissions for both myyahoo.php and yahoocookie.txt and cannot import. Throwing the following error...

Warning: fopen(wrbishop@sbcglobal.net) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /myyahoo.php on line 223
can't open file

However, I will say this... I sent out to my Hotmail contacts and 3 have joined and posted already. So that is just about awesome!

chmod the yahoocookie.txt 777

[Endurer]

Chmodding the yahoocookie.txt doesn't help either. I think the script is trying to create a temp cookie file but the directory permissions do not allow it. I cannot chmod the home directory to 777 because it might create security issues. I think Lebanon has an alternative file maybe for yahoo specifically that'll save cookies in a different folder with necessary permissions.

Lebanon can you please upload it for those of us having issues with yahoo inviter?

Thanks. :)

Great hack, her some more ideas for features ;)

-invitation mail as template instead of php
-add some features to the mail like for ex. on the facebox invitation mail screenshot see attachment
-custom mail, user may edit a part of the text/insert his own text
-user can add custom addresses to the imported contacts
-put all files in a 1 directory (for ex. /invite/)
-make it easy to add custom services for other countries

[Mastar]

Hotmail works fine but I tried yahoo and get this:


Warning: fopen(****@yahoo.com) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /myyahoo.php on line 223

Yes, i get the email list above header and the confirmation where is supposed to be :)
Thank you so much for your support.
Waiting for the fix.

The Bish, uploading in binary mode didn't change anything for me, but thank you for sharing the information.

[lebanon]

weird, so its the mail() function, just a quick question
in your vb options, do u use smtp email option ?
If yes, we can port the sending to smtp, and if not, i can still port the posting to use vb own mail class... let me know ur setting , as this shouldnt have been a problem

[lazydesis]

except for gmail and hotmail, i am unable to get this to work on any other systems :(

its installed at http://lazydesis.com/fun/inviter.php

can you please check and let me know if i need to make some changes ?

does this happen to everyone or is it just me?

[Mupetz]

No, i do not use SMTP

[lebanon]

Mupetz, weird, but u can u send mails from vbulletin to your members right ?
The best i can do is make the postage use the mail class of vb itself , should that be a help in ur case :)

lazyindian , doesnt it at least throw an error ?

[Mupetz]

Yes i can send mails with vb.
But what mail() has to do with the confirmation page ?
The mails are sent , the only problem is the confirmation page.

[lebanon]

ur saying that the mails are being set out ? But the confirmation is what gives a blank ?!
However when you remove the foreach statement of mail() , the page displays ?
is this correct for your problem ?

[Endurer]

Lebanon is there a fix for this error:

Warning: fopen(********@yahoo.com) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /myyahoo.php on line 223
can't open file

chmodding the cookie to 666 doesn't help either.

[Mupetz]

Yes sir ! :)

[SaN-DeeP]

Has anyone got this up and running fine ?
What are the requirements before it would run fine apart from Curl Library.

Thanks for nice work.

[lebanon]

topten its working fine for almost all people however the requirements are strict
Curl compiled WITH SSL support and fopen_url on !

For yahoo error, install the latest version and thus the folder inviter can be chmodded as you please.

[Mastar]

the old one worked better but stil got the yahoo error

[lazydesis]

i have updated as u said..deleted the old files and uploaded the new files and then chmodded inviter directory to 777 and all the files inside it (even the myyahoo.php) along with all cookie.txt files to 666

Still i get this error

Warning: fopen(xxx@yahoo.com) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /inviter/myyahoo.php on line 223
can't open file

any ideas :( and yeah by the way great mod :) if it works ..this will be nominated as hack of month for sure :D cuz lot of people have been waiting for something like this

[Endurer]

Upgraded & chmodded but the yahoo inviter doesn't still work and throws that same error. Could this be due to apache file ownership issue?

[Mupetz]

ur saying that the mails are being set out ? But the confirmation is what gives a blank ?!
However when you remove the foreach statement of mail() , the page displays ?
is this correct for your problem ?
Yes sir, that's correct.
What can i do ?

[vip-q.com]

How to send the message by html

open postage.php
1-find ( in line 459 )
"From: $from"
Replace it with
$headers

2- find ( in line 379 )
$siteurl = "$siteurl1/register.php?referrerid=$myuserid";

add after
$headers .= "From: $from"
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

that all :)

[vitrag24]

working for gmail..not for yahoo...

and where is select all/unselect all button?
without that mod is nothing in use..

[shokmuzik.com]

I gad an issue with the latest version: when usergroup not allowed to use inviter, they can use it and import but not send. Is this a bug or a feature? if it's a feature it will only confuse people.

[vitrag24]

hey
where is select/unselect all button?
we have to manually select email addresses of our contacts to invite..
if like that theno one will use this refferal feature if they have even more then 150 contacts..
plz help me for select all button

and it isnt working for yahoo..working for gmail...and not checked for hotmail..

[stonner]

This Hack doesnt work with my host (dynamic-net.ch). I would think of changing my host to another one.

Which cheap host with the requirements can you recommend?

I initially had this problem and CHMODing the cook.txt files fixed the issue.
Excellent, I cant beleive that i didnt bother with this cause me and the coder thought it was cause of my curl and php, just a few chmods of the cookies files bang, sorted, appreciated m8 thanks

[Mupetz]

On this new version :
The hotmail/msn imports the contacts BUT the Send Emails To Contacts button is missing.
The yahoo doesn't import the contacts but the Send Emails To Contacts button appears. ô_Ö
Gmail tested and working ( i still have the non-confirmation thing but i don't care )
The other providers not tested but i don't care either.
All i want is hotmail/msn , yahoo & gmail to work.

It is not a permissions problem, i chmoded the folder, the files, the cookies; not working.

[kartik786]

it shows mail sent, but I did not get any mail :(

[bashy]

it shows mail sent, but I did not get any mail :(
Yeah same here, I sent to myself only and did not get any email, I checked my junk mail and it aint there either!

[The Bish]

My Hotmail did work (import/msg sent) but I have since found out that no one received it.

[basilrath]

Great idea..............but seems to have to many problems .........ive tried the above

but the following is happening

yahoo is fine etc

msn/hotmail not working

maybe more development

but absolutely great idea

will install when sorted

[Mastar]

Still not working for me... msn/hotmail send button gone and still getting the permission error message for yahoo... Love the idea but really alot of errors.

[notrious]

still not working please

post the installation process

completl please

thanx in advance

[Mupetz]

Yes, i'm looking forward for an updated / working version.
Don't let us down lebanon :P

[kgeenen]

I know what the problem is when you get a blank page after you clicked the "send message" button.

When you edit postage.php in notepad and you save it it will delete all "white spaces" and the file isn's correct anymore. So you have to edit the file in frontpage.

The hotmail function works great now, only the gmail gives the following:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /inviter/mygmail.php on line 57

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /inviter/mygmail.php on line 109

Chmod files properly as mentioned and enjoy.. it works :d

[kartik786]

Can you release the earn money scheme addon mod please ?

I would like to use the same marketing technique.

[lebanon]

as am confident as it works over many hosts that support the requirements, i cannot do any better working version for those who dont have the requirements.
Its technically impossible to replace these functions to access SSL page without those.

However, for those having problems, with some scripts working but other mail scripts not working, these mean you have the requirements and this i can help with the other script.
However i will need a volunteer or two , someone with (at least 1 working script) but with yahoo or gmail error for example, if volunteered his access (enough access to upload page or edit it on his same host) i might be able to help
But without errors i cannot help really!

as for
Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /inviter/mygmail.php on line 57
The error is clear, u need to set safe_mode off !

[Mupetz]

Ok, here is the thing.
kgeenen, you were right, i did the edits with dreamweaver and now the confirmation page works.
I was having problems with the new version so i installed the old one.
Everything works great, but still, yahoo doesn't import the contacts. I'm getting the Send Email to Contacts button but no contacts list and if i i press it i get the postage.php error ( no contacts to send .. which is normal )

Anyway, i will use it as it is. Gmail & hotmail works, thats Ok for now.

How do i change the default provider ? On inviter.php , instead of Hotmail to be default, i want GMail to be.
Please ?

[lebmobile]

I've tried to replace what u mentioned..but i found in some files that the command u said to search for..is repeated many times in the same file..

Change all of them.
Careful, in mygmail.php the lines are without spaces.
This is the find in all files
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
And this is the find in mygmail
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);


Can somebody tell me how to change the default provider on inviter.php ? I want it to be GMail instead of Hotmail.
Please. Lebanon ?

[Medina]

how to add a live domain, such as

login.live.nl

but how to get the 'funny' codes behind of it :P

[Endurer]

Yahoo inviter still doesn't work.

[amjadakmal]

Please help me with this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/postpaid/public_html/inviter/myhotmail.php on line 52

[CP,]

will this work on 3.5.4?

[lebanon]

sorry for not supporting this as much as i should , but i have been busy a lot in my actual job here ( in a newspaper ).
Anyway, amjadakmal , you do need Curl to be installed by your host for this to work.
CP, the functions for VB should work fine, however the essentials for this hack are the requirements in the description.

I have uploaded a new fixed version with instructions for Yahoo related errors. regards

[Mupetz]

The new version doesn't work either.

I'll stick to the first version. All works, no Yahoo!

[The Bish]

Works for me!

[vitrag24]

is it working then i'll install...reply plz
i have vb 3.6.4

[ChordsNstringS]

[thenewuser]

thanks

[Jibba Jabbas]

It's saying login details are wrong? I've tried many times and im pretty sure they aren't wrong but it's still saying they are.

Please help!

[thenewuser]

Hrm, this did not work for me, I clicked on send and all the fields reset, I'm assuming it tried to work? No one got the email...

does the link need to be in https?

Anyone else had this problem and no how to fix?

[Deska]

Turn off safe mode.

Already off but still no luck.. :(

[Luky]

Ask your host if you have "PHP COMPILED WITH CURL WITH SSL FOR THIS TO WORK and can open remote urls"

[lebanon]

I believe the gmail will need an update in the next few days, but as for the rest, i repeat there is no override or an alternative for the requirements.
Knowing that we will need to browse into email pages which are accessed through ssl, we will need curl and we will need it compiled with ssl !
If none of the emails work, then obviously you did not meet the requirements, however, when some work and some doesnt there we can discuss it.

As for gmail error for curl setopt follow when open_base is set, there is a work around i will implement it within the next update of gmail .

[thenewuser]

Ask your host if you have "PHP COMPILED WITH CURL WITH SSL FOR THIS TO WORK and can open remote urls"

was this to me?

They said:

"Yes, our PHP is compiled with Curl + SSL support in both versions 4 and 5. The allow_url_fopen setting is enabled."

[Luky]

To anyone who cannot get it to work :P

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. My MSN mail was shut off, maybe that's why it wasn't working... I'll report back in a few min!

Used 4 different email addresses and repeatedly put in the password, it's not that im putting it in wrong.

Heres some info off my phpinfo file:

[LICryptkeeper]

Hi, just went through the thread, didnt see the answers I was looking for so I figured I'd post them before installing this hack (which I have been waiting for for over a year, thanks ;))

1) will the user be able to add custom text into the email body?
2) can we set it up so that it does not get sent from "myemail@mysite.com" but rathar the inviter's email?
3) will it have the refferal in the link to the forum? if te user clicks it in the email and gets sent to my site and registers, will the inviter be credited?

[abhimation]

It doesnt seem to be working with me. Says wrong username or password.

Is it that CURL thing is missing on my servers ? How do i check it ?

Or is it some other reason ?

Its a great MOD. Please help !

upload this and save it as a .php file and run it, it will tell you if your hosting runs the requirements.

<?php

if(!function_exists('curl_init'))
{
exit('CURL Library is not installed.');
}

$agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 Netscape/7.1 (ax)";
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.paypal.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

if(!strlen($result))
{
exit('CURL is installed, but not working correctly with SSL pages. Error Message: <strong>' . curl_error($ch) . '</strong>');
}
else
{
echo ('Congratulations! CURL w/ SSL seems to be working fine.');
curl_close($ch);
}

?>

On another note, has does any one get the problem where they import the hotmail contacts and there is no send button to finalise the invitations?
i would mucho appreciate a PM with some help.

[abhimation]

Thnx Otolerence...
I got the following msg - Congratulations! CURL w/ SSL seems to be working fine.

Then whats the problem ? Why i am getting the message when i click "Import my Contacts" -

[butty]

hello, can anyone tell me if this has the option to pull and send the invites to the new users msn contact list as they are registering for the forum?

maybe on the next page after the sign up process? it would probably gain more invitees being brought in as most people just fill in whats needed. if not they may never stumble across the invite page and then maybe when they do they may not be bothered to send the invites out?

[LewisAinslie]

Ye that would be good

[soletrader]

Everything is working besides my template. All I get is this: http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/inviter.php

I am getting following error whey tried to send invite to Yahoo mail.


Warning: fopen(*****@yahoo.com) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /inviter/myyahoo.php on line 404

Gone through whole of this thread and find out many other members facing same problem but no solution. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue ?

any one plz help me to getout frm this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/torrents/public_html/inviter/myyahoo.php on line 51

[neverstop]

Hi...

Using the hotmail it imports the contacts fine, but it does not send an email.

i tried running the test script and received this:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/curl.php on line 14
Congratulations! CURL w/ SSL seems to be working fine.

Safe mode is set to off and there is no value set for the open_basedir. Any ideas?

[epoc fitness]

Has anyone got this running flawless?

[FIM]

nice work in 3.6.7 :)

[raiderlax]

So does this work okay?

[Robert7]

This hack works and can send email to Gmail but it doesn't send email to Yahoo users. Any idea?

[epoc fitness]

It seems that there are a lot of updates, and different methods for install. Can someone post a nice simple solution to installing and the steps which have to be done.

[epoc fitness]

I get the following errors

Warning: fopen(/home/fashion/public_html/inviter/gmailcookie.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /inviter/mygmail.php on line 29

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /inviter/mygmail.php on line 31

[epoc fitness]

got the gmail working AOL doesn't seem to want to work.

[CraiovaOnLine]

most users dont have their adress book full completed.
Was thinking if wouldn't be helpfull if for the Yahoo id(for example) if the mail is missing then the inviter to send a mail to yahooid@yahoo.com (since most users use @yahoo.com). just a tought...

anyone knows how to mod that?

[sunilvarma]

heres a tip to users of this hack. You can send mails only in plain text by default but by editing the postage.php file you can send mail in HTML too. this is really useful.

In file postage.php FIND:

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from");


REPLACE WITH:

mail($to, $subject, $message, "From: $from" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");

:)

[5solutions]

Hello First of All Thanks for This Mod...
Iam able to send invites but ... mail cant send to free mail providers like ( gmail , yahoo) Invites are only sent to mails ( name@5nweb.com , name@companyname.com ) mails not sent to gmail , yahoo ... please reply me the solution
Thankyou

[raiderlax]

So does this work for 3.6.8? and are their any bugs?

[xxHxx]

am getting this error can any one help me plz :(

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: curl_init() in /home/forumsm/public_html/vb/inviter/myhotmail.php on line 52

[noonespecial]

I think it'd be great if there was a place to just enter email addresses to "invite" as well. So other people (not using the above services) can also invite some friends.
