[D.Ilyin]

Very nice hack! Nominated.

PS but "Not supported" - :(

[OnyxChase]

Great hack .... but I can see someone spamming people using this. I mean, they can enter their own message and all. Also the script doesn't limit the amount of invitations someone can make.

Unfortunately I will have to uninstall this mod until it is more secure.

[anestetic]

You have be invited to join.‏ giden mailin konusu bu bunu nasıl degıscem ne cumlede buldu ne xml dosyasında :D

Yes, there should be an option to limit the number of emails that can be sent. But great hack! Hope it becomes supported!

[dancue]

Can you allow this to work with the "version check" mod?

[madotds]

Hi great mod thank you but i do have one problem. When I click on the delete invite link it it take me to the "invite has been deleted succesfully" screen and then redirects back to the invite screen
This is all good but when I get the there the Link I just deleted is still there :( Any Idea?

Regards Madotds

[7lanet]

Thank you very dear brother

All product developed by you beautiful and very useful

We always perversely you everything that is new

[Forum Lover]

Hmm.. one moment I see Do You Mean Contact Grabber sorry :(
yes its allows only one email to send
Most promising hack. can u please make it allow sending more then one email? Contact grabber gonna be a huge plus. I used a hack for PHPizabi that do the thing through plaxo. As I am not a coder, not sure if we can use the plaxo platform.

[BuRaCh]

i am very like you have this hack hasann.
thank you for we release;)

[youradhere4222]

Thank you very much! :)

Edit: One thing I think would be nice is if users were given an error message if they chose an email that was already registered with our site.

It'd also be nice if there was a notice at the end of the email (one that could not be edited) saying that (forum name) is not responsible for the contents of this message if the message had been edited, that way people wouldn't be misleaded into thinking that a nasty message was being sent by my site instead of the user.

Also, two questions:

Above the invitation page, it says "Description", and inside of it there's a decription which can be edited via the ACP. I want to replace "Description" with "Invitation System", how would I go about doing this.

Second, there's an unnecessary box below the invite text editor. Is there anyway you can get rid of it?

I used to have one from invision scripts before that closed down, and it has a msn, gmail, hotmail invites part where you could log in and send invites to everyone on your contacts list. Have you thought about adding this?

[vBVision]

Guest invitation doesn't work, even if usergroup is added;)

[brfrankl]

Great Mod. Installed.

couple requests for improvements:

1> Ability to limit number of invites by usergroup. (usergroup 1 an have 10 invites, usergroup 2 can have 20, etc, admin controlled)
-If #1 is implemented, would need the following:
a> Ability to reset invites to 0 on a per user basis (override)
b> Ability to reset to max being unused


2> Report ability to see how many invites have been sent and accepted, top inviter, etc

[clk320]

Would it be possible to specify to which groups the invited users should be added once he/she registers? Default and per invite setting would be great.

[Stifler]

would be awesome to have a way to mass-invite users.. any possibility of this?

[shlomot]

Dear Hasann,

Migration from 1.0.4 to 2.0.1 was smooth as a baby's b**t. A few comments though:

1. There are numerous misspells in the body text of the invitation. In general, I suggest to let us edit the body text, while keeping the <validation code parameter> in the text at our own risk. Maybe you can even provide a "reset" function for the admin to restore the original text.

Besides, since the invitation is being issued by the system and it isn't a personal invitation from the member (like I have here (http://www.tell-a-friend-wizard.com/cgi-bin/tell_opt_new2.cgi?uid=shlomot&url=)), I don't see why the users should even have the access to modify the body text.

2. It seems that users are limited to 10 invites. Why is that? Can you give us the control of how many invites a user can send PER DAY?

I believe that while we want to stop spamming, we still want our members to send as many invitations as they can, so the PER DAY control is in order.

3. Can we control the navbar title "Invite your friends" without touching the template? I would like to have it as "Invite a Friend" instead. Shorter and more familiar term.

4. Just noticed that the phrase in user profile "Click here to invitation new users to our forum" is erroneous as well. It should read "Click here to invite your friends to join us".

Thanks for yet another great product from the Hasann Home of Excellence.

[Alfa1]

I am very interested in this addon, but i am cautious because I do not want my members to start spamming with this function. Does anyone have tips on how to use this hack in a way that avoids spamming or abuse?

Here is a very interesting article on the troubles that facebook has with their invites:
http://www.applicationdevelopmentnews.com/applicationdevelopmentnews-83-20080311BlockingFaceBookApplications.html

Would it be a good idea to add a function that makes sure the same email address does not get more than one invite?

[nerofix]

I like this add-on too, a lot spelling errors thats true but forgivable.

1. I can't delete sent invitations, it says deleted but it isn't.

2. Can you make the body text hardcoded that users can't change it? (It's very easy to delele the body text and writing "you f*cking a*shole" into the body text). That should not be possible for users. :)

3. Also there should be phrases for subject and bodytext, so we can use translations.

[chatzworld]

how can we edit the default text to to into the email as need to fix spelling errors in it ;) and word it all better

go into edit templates and edit the invitation_email one :D

this 'Amount of Unused Invitatiion' option is in the user edit section..
also this option is per user basis and not per usergroup

[rainyleaves]

Then, How do I edit default value of 'Amount of Unused Invitatiion' at once?
I mean, Can I edit the default value in product-invitation.xml? Where is the default value code?

Thanks :)

[Hasann]

yes buddy you can edit the default value in product-invitation.xml

that is in install code in product.xml file
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user` ADD `invitation` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '10' NOT NULL");

enter here the value instead of 10 DEFAULT '10' how you want

[rainyleaves]

Wow, Thanks for your reply !!!

can you add. a Default text ( and members canot change this text) for preventing possible spammers .

Hassan i've a question : can i invite one more buddies in one time ? ( ex. with commas : email1@domain.com , email2@domain.com , email3@domain.com , etc ? )

[fluentdesigns]

You know what would make this mod even better? Be able to track all the participating members that are getting sign ups from there invitation link. that way you can see what members are making an effort to bring more people to the site and that way they can be rewarded. To bring it even a step further you could have it track how many of the new invited members are actually participated by putting them into tiers, tiers meaning x amount of posts and user activity. This will keep members from trying to cheat the invitation system.

[Hasann]

please wait be patience :)
Now, I am working in progress Hack Publishing System :cool:
I have saved your suggestions I will make all yours suggestions.. ;)

[Tom Kraus]

How do you change the standard language in the message that is sent with the invitation?

[christian8a]

Hey man, are the invitations supposed to say Accepted only if they put who reffered them?

I used it to test, the person registered but then I can still see, Not Accepted Yet

How does that work:confused:

Edit:
Nevermind I figured it out now

[christian8a]

Anybody knows why all these emails are being sent to junk mail, and on High risk?

The registration emails work fine, so is something with this product

[logicuk]

Is it possible to have the invitation message fixed so that the member cannot edit it?

any updates on this mate?

[Strik3]

What does "Accepted By" -> Not Accepted Yet" mean? How can i acceppt invites as admin? Is there any moderation?

[christian8a]

Is this product going to be supported still let us know bud, that way we can figure out ourselves

[Scythe42]

I tried this mod on RC1 and ran into the following issues:

Users always get the error message that the invitation code is invalid. They always have the reload the page a second time to register. Doesn't matter if the user has any cookies set or not. Tried in various browsers.

E-Mail Verification does not work when normal registration method is disabled using this plugin. Users always get the invalid invitation code error message until I turned the disabling of the normal registration off in this plugin. Then they are abe to verify their email address.

Defining the user groups who can delete invites has no effect. The delete invite link never shows up.

Edit:
Fixed the missing delete links by changing the code so that a check is done against all groups the user is a member of and not only his primary group. But all delete links link to the last sent invitationcode now because the array from the config is exploded to itself in the while loop causing that the delete link is always the first value.

Fixed the need for re-loading the invite page twice on the first time by changing the code to form setting the cookie and checking for the cookie right away cookie to setting the cookie or checking for the cookie. Setting a cookie and checking for it right away without a page re-load is not possible on all browers.

Fixed the not-supported email verification when the normal registration is disabled by this mod, by adding a check if on user account accitivation an if accepted invitation cookie is present for the user in question. I also removed the cookie at that time since registration should be complete.

Looks like it runs now. Man this thing is buggy, but better than writing one from scratch...

I still need to add some features like reclaiming of deleted invites and automatic invite deletion after some time. It also needs verification that you cannot send invites to already registered emails as well as not allowing to have duplicate invites waiting to be claimed for an email.

[christian8a]

Yea I have somebody already working on one specially for our site, this one didnt cut it. But at least the base is made and thanx to the author for sharing :up:

but ill have to try a different one

[theparentpack]

Love it! Installed! Nominated!

I am having trouble finding the phrase to alter the message that is sent in invite. What is the name of the phrase so I can alter it a bit?

[00christian00]

Hi,great mod man.
I found how to edit the initial number of invites,but how can i reset invites?
I mean once some user finish them i should go to each user setting and modify the value?
It would be better to have at least some way to reset invites to its default value.

[invitezone]

All new user to my site get that error saying invalid invite code and have to click it several times before it works. I did see your fix by setting something from 20 to 32, I can't remember exactly but when i checked out the setting for the new version which i have it is set to 100 so I assume this isn't the problem.

Please can you recommend a fix.

[christian8a]

This hack does not work with RC1
do not install it untill the author support it a bit.

Members and administrators cant delete the invitations, it deletes some and it leaves others.
Just tought Id let you guys know

[Scythe42]

I tried to bugfix this one because I need a simple invitation system and didn't want to write one from scratch. If you try this one one, please let me know if it fixes your issues. The attached product is a simple export from my forum.

I made the following changes:

no more need to double click on the invitation link
invitationcode cookie gets removed once the user has signed up
account verification after signup isn't blocked by an invalid invitation error code anymore
deletions of invites now delete the correct invite
added permissions check when trying to delete an invitation
if a user deletes an unclaimed invite, he gets one invite back
you cannot sent multiple invites to the same email address
you cannot sent invites to already registered email addresses
added no invites sent message to usercp tepmplate
changed some phrases to proper English (hope so)
added some additional phrases


Let me know if this one works for you and I'll do some more updates and optimizations and release this one as an supported fork once 3.7 hits gold because the original author seems to have lost interest in his mod.

Use at your own risk!

[invitezone]

Just installed it and been through the new user signup process.

Fantastic. Works like an absolute charm. I didn't get 1 single problem with it. Thankyou so much for this, I didn't think there would ever be a soultion. Please do continue your fabulous work and i will be keeping a keen eye out for any further work you do on this.

I can't express my gratitude enouugh

Thanks again.

[J98680Bxxxxx]

Thanks for the update Hasann, the small spelling lapsus have been corrected as far as I can see, this is an excellent Mods. :)

Installed successfully! :)

Feedback: On the Navigation bar, the previous text "Invite Your Friends", or some thing like "Invite Friends", seems better than the actual text: "Send Invites". See PM for the remaining text.

[Dilldogs]

I like the update, Excellent job. Keep up the good work.

[logicuk]

amazing work you did Scythe42 thank you so much :D

[Hasann]

english phrases fixed
.added new languages :)
-Dutch
-French

[Spybot S&D]

Is there any way you can set the default value of invites each user gets?

Also, can you make it so that you can get X more invites every X posts?

Thanks!

[Scythe42]

Thanks Hassan for including my modification. I downloaded and installed this version with the new phrases.

I'll found some issues mainly with the templates for continuity and a possible security vulnerability.

CODE CHANGES:

Fixed SQL injection vulnerabilities throughout the code.
Referrer ID ist not overwritten by 1 for every new user.
Removed one query when user is verifying his email address.
Some adjustments for supporting the Inviation System and the normal registration method at the same time.


TEMPLATE CHANGES:

Added missing closing form tag
The Used Invitation table displays the phrase no_invites_sent when no invitation were sent out
The description box only appears if a description is defined in admincp
Removed the nested div panels to make the look consistent with the rest of usercp
Switched from forumwidth to formwidth_usercp to make the look consistent with the rest of usercp
Removed Login information beside the email address input field to make the look consistent with the rest of usercp
Removed all uneeded tables because the divs are already doing the layout.
Removed all unneeded nested div tags
Added 100% width to table title
Delete invitation column is only visible if you have permission to delete invitations.


PHRASES:

Same as in the last update from Hassan (English).


Again just an export form my forum with the default setting. Needs some additional testing that I didn't screw up when making the code modifications before included in your release.

[logicuk]

Hasann you made this change:

the users can attach a note message to the invite email

cant this be used for spam that way?

[Hasann]

Is there any way you can set the default value of invites each user gets?

Thanks!
yes I can make this feature will be added in next version
Hasann you made this change:

the users can attach a note message to the invite email

cant this be used for spam that way?
No I don't think there is a Human verification system for this and the users can't send to same email twice invites at once :)

[NeuroLancer]

:eek: Wow! I love this new version!

:up: Working flawlessly~

:D Thanks so much Hasann & Scythe42

[Alfa1]

When inviting a someone that is already a member, then you get the following message:
The user has already been invited.
While the user has not been invited before. It should be:
The user already is a member.

Below the invitation email it says:
EZ Bounce Management:

If this email has bounced, visit the following URL for bounce
management:
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/admincp/ezbounce.php?u=
If a invited person is not a member yet, ezbounce does not work. So if I am not mistaken there is no use for this text.

Does this modification list the invitation link somewhere?

And last but not least: Many thanks for this excellent mod!

[Scythe42]

While the user has not been invited before. It should be:The phrase is returned when the entered email is found in the user table. There is currently no check if a the userid is also found in the invitation table. I'll modify the query and add another phrase to distinguish between mebers and invited members.

If a invited person is not a member yet, ezbounce does not work. So if I am not mistaken there is no use for this text.ezbounce adds the link even if the email is not registered. Can be easily fixed.

You need change the "EZ Bounce Management - construct code" plugin, so that it does only attach the link when the email is also registered on your forum:

The following code should do the trick. If the email is not found in the user table, the outgoing message is not touched. Give it a try. I haven't ezbounce installed therefore this is not tested. I added a simple IF-Statement around the code right after the query.

global $vbphrase, $db;

$buser = $vbulletin->db->query_first("
SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
WHERE email LIKE '%" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string_like($toemail) . "%'
");

if ( $buser['userid'] ) {
$bounceurl = $vbulletin->options['ezb_admincpurl'] . "/ezbounce.php?u=" . $buser['userid'];
$bouncestring = "<a href=\"$bounceurl\" target=\"_blank\">$bounceurl </a>";

if (!$vbulletin->options['ezb_showezbouncelink'])
{
// if turned off, put bounce url into header (default option)
$headers .= 'X-EZbouncer: ' . $bounceurl . $delimiter;
/* replace above line with following line if the url in bouncing email header is not displaying as a link
$headers .= 'X-EZbouncer: ' . $bouncestring . $delimiter;
*/
}
else
{
// if turned on, construct bounce code & place in email message body
$bouncecode = construct_phrase($vbphrase['anti_bounce_message'], $bounceurl);
/* replace above line with following line if the url in bouncing email body is not displaying as a link
$bouncecode = construct_phrase($vbphrase['anti_bounce_message'], $bouncestring);
*/
$message .= $bouncecode;
}
}


Does this modification list the invitation link somewhere?Was previously removed. I'll add an option to make the invitation code a link. I previously removed it because it didn't display the invitation code correct.

I'll post an update later that takes care of your requests.

[Scythe42]

Here the update I promised in the last post.

Changes:

when checking for already registered member there is now an additional phrase for distinguishing between registered and invited members (reqested by Alfa1)
added on option to display the invitation code as a link again (requested by Alfa1)
remove the "click two times" message from the invitation email phrase. That's not needed anymore.
changed "mysql_real_escape_string" to "$db->escape_string"


Please test before including in the next official version of this mod

What's missing is a cron job that deletes pending invites after x number of days automatically and gives the intivations back to the users. This should help users who cannot delete sent invitations that were never claimed or sent them to a wrong emal address. This should be combined with optional features like "give additional invites ever xxx posts" or so.

[hrk]

Solid hack . thanks hassan

[dancue]

Has anyone added the ability to grab from multiple e-mail accounts yet?

I've got the invitation system by visionscripts, which will do it, but it is not supported and will not work with 3.7.

This mod seems to still get support, so I've marked as installed and nominated it instead, even though I disabled it.

Thanks to scythe for working on it as well. It is a very important, useful mod, and I hope to see it grow in the next couple of months to become the best one available. Until then, sorry, but I've got the visionscripts one installed.

[dancue]

To elaborate a bit more, here are a some features I'd like added to this invites system:

The ability for the user to attach a note to the invitation. This will allow them to write whatever they want, and will NOT affect what the admin has used for the main e-mail body.
The ability to add multiple invites at once. How many should be determined by the admin.
As mentioned before...E-MAIL GRABBERS. Great addition to an invites system.
If a user sends an invite and the person accepts, those two should automatically become buddies. (Feature should be able to turn on/off by admin)
Admin selected expiration for invites.
Automatic invite reminders sent to those who have not signed up yet. (How long before they are sent should be controlled by Admin.)
The ability to add reputation points automatically to those who successfully get someone to sign on.


I apologize if these are already added. There has been already many good changes done to this invites system.

[Alfa1]

Those are very nice feature requests. I'd like to add two:

Spam control: send a link in the invitation email to allow the recipient to report spam to the forum admin. The recipient can click the link and the forum admin will get a notification about this. This will prevent members spamming.
A simple feature that is very necessary is to have the message content comply to anti-spam rules of major email providers. This can be done by adding a short message on the bottom of the message which explains: (1)to which email address the message is sent (2)why the recipient has received the message and (3)how the recipient can report abuse(see my other feature request). By complying to the anti spam rules of large email providers like hotmail, yahoo, gmail and AOL, you prevent getting blacklisted as a spammer.

[Namaless]

Suggestion for auto-template invitation block in home usercp:

Create new template called "usercp_invitation_block"
Use this code inside:

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

<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[invitation_system] <if condition="$show['invitation_left']"><phrase 1="$bbuserinfo[invitation]">($vbphrase[invitation_x_left])</phrase></if></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1"><span class="smallfont"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=invitation">$vbphrase[invitation_click_here_to_invitation_new_users]</a></span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


Create new Plugin called "Invitation Auto Template" with hook "parse_templates"
Use this code inside:

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_active'])
{
eval('$template_hook[usercp_main_pos1] .= "' . fetch_template('usercp_invitation_block') . '";');
}


Create new Plugin called "Invitation Cache Templates" with hook "cache_templates"
Use this code inside:

$globaltemplates = array_merge( $globaltemplates, array('usercp_invitation_block') );


Use this hack for added link into menu. For now not have time to create this.. ;)

Thanks for hack.. this very good project =)

[Hasann]

Invitation_System_Fixed_v2.0.2.zip install this overwrite to old product
there is one change only and it is a sql injection issue it is fixed now

[Namaless]

Thanks.. fixed now ^^

Regards.

[Atilla_UYGUN]

wooww wanderful mod :)

thanks..


installed.. ;)

[Vtec44]

it seems to be you haven't in your database userid field in user table

I'm not sure what you mean, but I reverted back to 2.0.2 and it works. When I upgrade to 2.0.2b then I get that error. It doesn't matter if I uninstall the product first or install on top of the 2.0.2 and let it overwrite, I still get that error.

[Scythe42]

I got a database error with the latest 2.0.2 fixed.I see you are using a tableprefix.

There is an "AS userid" and "AS invitation" missing in the FROM and JOIN clauses to make it work with tableprefixes.

To fix this, open the prodcut-invitation.xml before importing and apply the following changes:

Change line 304 and 305 from:

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "invitation


to

FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user
LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "invitation AS invitation



Change line 320 from:

$invitationcheck = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "invitation


to

$invitationcheck = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "invitation AS invitation


That should do the trick for your guys using table prefixes. Let me know if this works for you.

[Vtec44]

Yep, that did it. Thanks guys!

[NeuroLancer]

Hi, sorry if this has been posted already but can there be a change from:

(you can add your real name after your username if you wish, but leave the rest unchanged)

because that is no longer valid in the newest version.

Thanks again for this great mod :)

[Scythe42]

Just an development update:

moved permissions from global_start hook to the actual invitation manager where it belongs
added an option for displaying an invitation block template in usercp
full auto template (supports 'Icons for UserCP' mod as well)
not accepted invitations expire after X days and inviting user is credited back (admincp option)
possibility to invite multiple friends


OPEN:

additional invitations will be given or removed based on posts
additional invitations will be given or removed based on reputation

Looking into the mentioned anti-spam system compliance. If someone has link for me where it is described I'll check it out.


Any other wishes?

I'll post an update here once I completed all the open items... Guess it will be by the end of next week. My time's limited this week.

[Alfa1]

I have version 2.0.2b installed on vb 3.7B3. (My test forum)
I have sent out several invitations to try this out. So far one worked as designed and one did not. One person got the invitation, followed the link and signed up. But the invitation is still listed as 'Not Confirmed Yet'.
The forum account of the person lists me as the referrer though.

Does anyone have an idea where the problem lies?

[Scythe42]

Does anyone have an idea where the problem lies?What settings do you use on your forum? Invite only? Invite and normal registration? Email Verfication needed? Any errors in your php.log? Any special cookie related settings on your end or the users' browser? How does the entry in the invitation table for that invitation code looks like? Where any signups successful or do they all fail in regards to the invitation code?

If you provide me with some more details I can try to reproduce it and find a solution for the scenario.

The code that updates the table is pretty simple. It's called on "register_addmember_complete". It checks for the invitationcode cookie that was set when the signup process started. If present it continues and updates the table for that code. If it is not present an error message is shown when normal registration is disabled. If normal registration is still enabled, the user is passed through like a normal registration.

You guys are great! Thanks for listening!

Can't wait for the future updates!

Any thought on whether or not you are going to add the ability for the user to attach a note to the e-mail? Also the increase in x reputation points per successful registration?

[Scythe42]

Any thought on whether or not you are going to add the ability for the user to attach a note to the e-mail? Also the increase in x reputation points per successful registration?The note is already included. You don't see the actual message anymore. It was moved to the phrases for allowing easy localization. Instead there is a textarea for adding custom notes now.

The add X reputation for inviting a new user is no problem. Ist a simple query. But I think if you rebuild your reputation it will be lost because it's not associated with a post. Need to check if there is a hook I could use.

PS: first test of contact grabbing with gmail works. But I'm not sure how to display them without making everything look ugly with a ton of checkboxes. I'm open for layout suggestions.

[whitlecj]

I installed the mod but the email was not sent to the person I invited. I actually sent it to another one of my email accounts and the email never came. Any ideas of what could cause this?

[Scythe42]

I installed this on two of my forums. Now one of them is lacking the link in admincp/vb options/invitation system to change the outgoing message. One of my forums has a link for me to edit the ougoing message, and the other one does not. Any ideas?Seems to be an issue with the phrases for admincp. Did you do some customization? If so, you might still have a customized version displayed in admincp. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin might help. But export the invitation table because on deinstallation it gets removed.

Anyway, the phrases in question are for the email are "invitation_email_body" and "invitation_email_note". You can modify them with the phrase editor. The links in admincp are just there for convenience.

[whitlecj]

I am using vbulletin 3.7 RC1 and after uninstalling and reinstalling the mod, it still does not send out the emails. I have tested that email functionality is working and that it was not sent to spam. Any idea as to what could be causing the problem?

[whitlecj]

I think I got it. I have 2 email address that I use personally. 1 is assigned to my vbulletin account and the other must be used somewhere within vbulletin or something, not sure. I basically signed up for anther gmail account and tested to that account and it worked perfectly. Not sure where the problem was with my 2nd email address but it worked like a charm to my newly created account. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for a great mod.

Hi, I found this fetch_template('usercp_invitation_email') in "Invitation User CP" but not found into hack..

Please fix this.

Already fixed in the current development version.

[Rideharder]

> Ability to limit number of invites by user. (user: Admin an have 10 invites, user: Testuser can have 20, etc, admin controlled)
b> Ability to reset invites to 0 on a per user basis (override), admin controlled
c> Ability to reset to max being unused, admin controlled
d> Abilitiy turn to on or off Invitation System per user basis, admin controlled

How would I know when a user hit 0 invites ?

Can I give all users like 50 invites with out going to each users cp?

And one more thing please what is.
Display the invitation code as a link to the registration option in usercp?

[logicuk]

what about the ability to run monthly invite contests? would be a great addition!

[Rideharder]

I installed but am getting a no permission message. I am sure my usergroup is listed in the settings.

You need to go to Manage Products click Invitation System 2.0.2b Allow users send invitation to everybody and unstall ..Then restall the product-invitation_3.6 in the Manage Products ..

[Rideharder]

what about the ability to run monthly invite contests? would be a great addition!

That is what I was looking for!!!
http://www.speedaholic.net/

[whitlecj]

I agree. The ability run a monthly invite contest would be great. Of course, I am assuming once they make so you can give unlimited invites to your users, you would be able to set the contest up on your own and just verify who got the most people to sign up on the backend. Right?

[Alfa1]

what about the ability to run monthly invite contests? would be a great addition!
Please be careful with that idea. Invite contests can cause a lot of trouble with unwanted spam and angry admins from other sites.

[dancue]

Please be careful with that idea. Invite contests can cause a lot of trouble with unwanted spam and angry admins from other sites.

I agree, but the option should be available. It's a great way to add registrations.

No special cookie settings on the site. I am awaiting more info about the members cookie settings.
The invitation table looks like this:
b0a3283e9ebd7a14732fbfdc44036731 example@example.com 04-06-2008 Not Confirmed Yet Delete

Other signups where successful.

Good stuff. Some of users faced the strange problem. They send the invitation referral link from FAQ section. This link has their userid. But, when their friends signup, they remove the username in the referrer field of the registration form!

Strange, isn't it?! I don't know what kind of friends are they! Anyway, our users want the referrer field to be read-only if the referrer name is passed in the URL. Till now, I haven't used this hack. Users copy the invite link from FAQ area and send it thru emails. If your hack has some kind of configuration by which you make the referrer field read-only, that would be nice.

[Losttrucker]

strange...its tells me the invitation has been sent, but it never gets received. I love the idea of this mod, but cant get it to work right

[Scythe42]

Other signups where successful.
Must be something on the users end with the Cookie handling if it only affects on user. I couldn't reproduce yet. Anyway, I'll try to switch to the session tables for linking a user during the registration process to the invitation code.

EDIT2: I just received this database error:
The fix for using table prefixes was posted here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1484663&postcount=198).

[Scythe42]

strange...its tells me the invitation has been sent, but it never gets received. I love the idea of this mod, but cant get it to work rightMust be something with your mail settings. This mod uses a simple call to vbmail. Read through this thread, another user hat a similar issue and fixed it by correcting his settings.

[Scythe42]

If your hack has some kind of configuration by which you make the referrer field read-only, that would be nice.This can be acomplished by a simple template change by adding readonly to the input type or for XHTML compliance readonly="readonly"

Just look for the input tag in your register template (search for id="referrerfield")

On my site I have completly removed the referrid input field and instead using an hidden input tag to pass on the referrer. I'll look into including this as an auto template change for one of the next versions.

[Dilldogs]

I like this invite system, Works great. few miss spelled words, but it is an easy fix for that. All in All it is working fine and I hope you continue putting out great product.

Suggestion:

1. Maybe adding MSN, yahoo and aol Contact Grabber.

2. Maybe you should take over visionscripts. they had great product but he had to let it all go and now he is not planning to upgrade his product.

Maybe adding MSN, yahoo and aol Contact Grabber.Already on the to-do list and will be included in one of the next versions.

But before that I need to code some stuff so that new entries vom vbBlog show up under New Posts. That's currently more important for my site.

Nice, I see you've added multiple invitees, and the ability to attach a note.

It's looking beautiful so far. You guys really do listen to our suggestions. Thank you!

[dancue]

When should we expect the next update?

No rush, just curious. And will the next one have the contact grabbers?

With this mod currently, can you tell who the referrer was when a new member signs up from an invitation? Thanks.

A tip for your mod...

If you replace :

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 1) {
$template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td>';
}

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 2) {
$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td></tr>';

}


with :


if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 1) {
if ($canuseinvitation) {
$template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td>';
}
}

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 2) {
if ($canuseinvitation) {
$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td></tr>';
}
}


In the mod file, then the invitation link in the navbar will only show up to people who can actually use it. This avoids frustrating users with links they can't use.

[Boofo]

Actually this will work better, I think:

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 1 AND $canuseinvitation) {
$template_hook['navbar_buttons_left'] .= '<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td>';
}

if ($vbulletin->options['invitation_automatic_link_creation'] == 2 AND $canuseinvitation) {
$template_hook['navbar_quick_links_menu_pos1'] .= '<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?'.$session['sessionurl'].'do=invitation">'.$vbphrase['invitation'].'</a></td></tr>';
}

[CanCanCase]

Installed with no errors, but I got DB errors when trying to send the invitation eMail...
The fix for table prefixes posted here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1484663&postcount=198) took care of the problem quickly and easily.
Great hack... thanks so much!

Forgot 2 hit install...>>> Done Deal <<<

Thanks 4 This

[logicuk]

hows the updates coming along

and any news on the invite contest feature

thanks

[Scythe42]

I'm working on the contact grabber, since it was often requested (have so far gmail and yahoo included). Should be ready soon...

Contest won't happen. More a thing for extending vbExperience or some award Mod. Would be a simple SQL Query to the updated invitations table or the user table with the updated referrer information.

[Alfa1]

You two are really amazing. When coding the contact grabber; please consider if you can find a way to have the grabber work without opening allow_url_fopen or other security risks.

[Scythe42]

Because allow_url_fopen is usually disabled for security reasons I rely on libcurl which is the next choice.

Contact Grabber status:

Gmail - done
Yahoo - done, but there are some minor issues that need further investigation.
MSN/Hotmal - done in part
AOL - open


That should do it for a while. The contact grabbing needs some more public testing once ready. I'm sure there are some combinations I haven't thought of. It will need another two weeks or so before I can make it available to the public for testing because my time is limited at moment.

Maybe I add mySpace and Facebook later depending on the demand.

When publicly tested we have a supported 3.7 replacement for the VisionScripts Invitation System, on which the first version of this mod was based.

Maybe I do an AJAX update sometime in the future. But before that I need to work on my New Posts Mod, that includes new blog entries in the new post search. A thing I urgently need before I go live with 3.7 and Blogs on my site.

So be patient, large update will be ready soon.

[logicuk]

damit i was so looking forward to the content feature and i think so were many other people

will you not reconsider?

Please consider including Outlook.

Maybe I do an AJAX update sometime in the future.
Would be awesome.

So be patient, large update will be ready soon.
Thanks in advance!

[dancue]

Very good suggestion Alfa1. Outlook would be nice to have.

I agree with you also, AJAX is always good.

This mod is turning out very well. Thanks to both authors for their hard work and effort.

There is a coder on this forum who has a donation system which will soon allow you to set up contests for many different mods. It's called the Donation System and the coder is planning on adding this feature to the list of features his hacks includes.

When it does it would be perfect for this invitation system!
