UserCP Referral ID and Count

[Phaedrus]

While supporting my mini-mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201754) I came across a more in depth version of what I was trying to do. Once I saw it I had to add it to my site. Since I couldn't find it here, I created something of my own.

This hack will add a collapsible box in your UserCP with a message informing the user what the referral ID is, what it is for, and how to use it. The message can be, of course, rewritten in your phrases to fit your own site and users.

To install, simply install the product below in Manage Products, then of course you should click installed. :up:

Update: Sorry, re-uploaded the xml. I had set the wrong product dependency on the xml. I have removed it. It works again.

(first Code jitters I guess... :D)

Version 1.0.2:
Added a bit of code so that it will remember if you collapse it, or expand it and keep that formation so that you don't have to collapse it each time you go into the UserCP.

Version 1.0.3:
Corrected the query string so that it would not count users that had not been verified or passed through moderation. (user group 3 and 4 are not included in the referral counts now).

re-uploaded 1.0.3, minor change on version listed in the mod.

To upgrade install normally, set "Allow Overwrite" to 'yes'.

Rocks! And even with a screenshot. ;)

This is way to go. Many ppl forget about the Why in their functions - why users should make use of it.

Edit: bring back the script! :)

I already enjoyed you mini-mod. Thanks for this script. I really appreciate it. :)

[lazydesis]

i got this error when trying to import the product


The following dependencies were not met:

1. The product 74201 must be installed before this product may be installed. (Compatible starting with 3.6.0)


i am running vb 3.8

[Mukashi]

Got the same error sadly.

[TandyServices]

I have it too

[buileminh]

How can the user see who he has referred to the forums?

[MandarS]

Installed :)

Edit - Not working ! :( Getting same error.. 3.6!

[R-D]

Edit the xml and remove:

dependencytype="product" parentproductid="74201"


Then it works fine.

[C138 Kaysone]

thats because you got the idea From me haha :D or did you... lol

[Phaedrus]

Crap. I mistyped the compatibility...

LOL.

[Phaedrus]

Yeah, I saw it on your site and had to do it, but I couldn't find it anywhere so I wrote my own!

:D

[Phaedrus]

How can the user see who he has referred to the forums?

I haven't added that one, it just counts it doesn't show who you referred. Hmm... An idea...

I'll see what I can do.

[zorag]

Will this work with 3.7.x ?? Anyone tried yet..

[Phaedrus]

It will. It should work as far back as 3.6.

[buileminh]

I'll see what I can do.
Thank you in advance!

If you can, please display users referred by him in this month, this year or give each user option to choose the time frame.

If you can do more, please add post count of each referred user because sometime, we want to ensure that they all are real referred person, not a faked referred members.

If you can do even more, please give user choose the minimum post counts of each referred in order for the referred user be displayed.

[Hornstar]

Thanks, will update to this version soon.

[digicom]

Thanks Installed :up:

Installed. Nice mod.

Allowing people to see who they have refferred indeed would be a great feature :)

[SVTCobraLTD]

Works on 3.6.11! Thank you.

Yeah, I've just got to get some time to really dig in and start adding to it. I'll work on it.

[Phaedrus]

That's great! I'm glad there's somebody using it on that version.

[veenuisthebest]

I remember Boofo's mod (in grave now) that does and look the same. It had a bug of showing 1 extra referral count.

This one's good. Thanks :)

[veenuisthebest]

Your mod will show incorrect referral count as vbulletin also block usergroups 3 and 4 to not to be included. Change the query to this:-

$refcount = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."' AND usergroupid NOT IN (3,4)");

LOL. I didn't think of people who hadn't gone through verification.

Danke, and updated.

[Nadeemjp]

very nice hack. a very constructive one.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Those of you who have high server loads I've modified the product so that the template edits were manual:
Find:
$template_hook[usercp_main_pos2]

Add below:
<!-- REFERRALS IN USER CP -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral')"><img id="collapseimg_referral" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[referrals]<span class="normal">: ($referrals)</span>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_referral]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" title="$bbuserinfo[username]'s $vbphrase[referrals]" width="100%" align="left">
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="$vbphrase[referrals]" 3="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 4="$vbphrase[profile]" 5="$bbuserinfo[username]" 6="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- END REFERRALS IN USER CP -->

Cool.

This mod conflicts with the following mod: Icons for UserCP Navbar (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202000)

The screenshot you supplied shows a link to Your Referral Link in the Your Profile section of the UserCP menu.

I have installed this mod and it does not show this link...otherwise, it works fine.

You may want to take this into consideration and modify your code to allow for this.

Actually that's from a different mod. This mod doesn't add that link. That was my mini-mod in the Template Mods area.

Can you link me to the mod it conflicts with? I need to find out what they are hooking on and choose something different so they won't conflict.

That being the case...then I'd replace the screenshot with one that's actually for this particular mod.

Other than that...like I said...the mod works fine.

You don't want to click the link, you want to use that link at other places to direct them to your site. The link carries your user ID, those people that follow it then register at your site will automatically be credited as referred by you.

[fattony69]

Will this work for vbseo where it wont modify the url?

I don't believe that this would have any problem with vbseo which would translate the url into "vbseo-style" as the user entered, if it was one that would be changed to begin with.

[thea1masta]

I am having a problem where my referral ID takes my users to a 404 not found error page. Any suggestions?

[dklassen]

Installed in 3.8 but I have no link in user cp.

[rob01]

maybe you should add a point system support

like for vbcredits or vbexperience

i mean for each referral that person will get some point/credits

Can you post your link from your UserCP? And have you tested this?

[Phaedrus]

Installed in 3.8 but I have no link in user cp.
Do you have the box? If not you may have made updates to your UserCP that have changed the rewrites I used on this Mod.

What types of other UserCP mods do you use?

[Phaedrus]

This is also an interesting concept. The next time I get some time I will look into adding some of the suggestions that people have put in here. Unfortunately during the first six months of the year I am busy filling out taxes for non-profits and don't get too much free time to have fun trying to figure this kind of stuff out.

If you ever used vbcredits, you would know you can already set up getting points for referrals.

Hmm... I downloaded it, it is version 1.0.3 and yet it said 1.0.2. I've fixed that and re-uploaded it.

Could you add a vboption that allows people to easily change the text that is displayed in usercp.

A question: is there a way to see which member has more referrals? It would be cool to have this possibility for the admin. TOP 10 members with more referrals points. ;-)

But is there a way to see this right now?

[trotskid]

Hi. I have several objects on UCP page like Tabbed Personal Statistics, group suscriptions.. and UserCP Referral. I wondering if it?s possible move this object down the others, like the fourth position.

Other question. There is no link in "Your Profile" like the screenshot shown (Your Referral Link) on my forum. Why doesn?t appear?

Thank you :)

This is a great Mod, but for some reason, in the Referral link in the UserCP it has my user name at the end of the url instead of the referral number.

What would be causing this?

[ITDarasgah]

Install....thanks

[Eryeal]

Great mod - works fine for me - exactly what I was looking for!

On a side note - I'm shocked that Vbulletin itself doesn't implement something at least similar. Right now it's buried in the FAQ. This should definitely be a customizable option on the standard Vbulletin.

[realdx]

Simply great! Clean, effective, and very usefull!! Thank you so much!!

[TheInsaneManiac]

Sweet thanks. I have a feature request, maybe the possibility to see my referrals?

I actually don't know if it would work because the link is the one generated by bvulletin... I can't see why it wouldn't.


I think it would depend on what the url for your home page is. It uses the link generated by vbulletin that points them to index.php...

In you user_cp templates it creates a new template, in that template you would need to find the line below...


6="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]


And change the "index.php" portion to refer to your index.

[Phaedrus]

Bump!

You would edit it in phrases.

Edit this phrase: refid_usercp

done! and thanks for the hint! now the referal system is pointing to indexb.htm, that is the original vbulletin index file, thus jumping all the vbadvanced portal, but who cares, is just for the registration... thanks!

This thing totally hosed my forum styles and buttons :down::mad:

I have lost all of my admincp Images, So there is no drop down buttons or arrows. I have to expand all.

This was not until I installed this mod. After I uninstalled it it did not change/

I have tried updating all of the image paths to no avail

Help would be appreciated

*************************
WELL FREAKING BIZARRE - WEIRD -SPOOKY OR WHAT?

For some off reason, Firefox 3.6, just decided to block all images from my site only
How that happened I have no clue at all. Glad to report it WAS NOT THIS MAD

I found the probelme after I logged into Admin CP in IE (EEEuuuuuuu Yukkie DOO DOO)

I then went back to Firefox, put the URL of a Smiley as well as an AdminCP collaps icon and noticed a little line in the Menu box that said

BLOCK ALL IMAGES FROM NorCalCanyonCarvers

So I unblocked it and all is very well indeedy Do

BTW NICE HACK

So, if I'm using the vBadvanced as my index/homepage , then I need to do this?

When someone clicks on the referral link, should they be taken to the registration page or will the referral ID 'follow' them when they find the register page?

EDITED: Just tested it and it does 'follow' you without having to do the edit. So, the referrer is already added in the appropriate field when registering. :up:

Also, edited the text by going to Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases >> type refid_usercp in the Search for Text field >> Click radio button for Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name >> Find

Thanks for the easy and great mod!

Works with both 3.7x and 3.8x :up:
