Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.
Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display


I hope you enjoy
Please Click install.
Note support will not be giving if you don't.

very nice but i think it would be better if you made a nice design for it not just like that

regards :)

[dirtycrow]

doesn't seem to create a menu link for me.

[dirtycrow]

i take that back, it's under "quick links" but when selected nothing is displayed, just a " Import your friends" header and nothing underneath.

I don't want to edit the frontend.php because you have to get that from openinviter.com.
I can not give out their whole package. You will have to ask them to change it or do that part your self.

Tagged looks good mate

ill be keeping my eye on this one :up:

Thanks for this mod!

With import, put auto the refered user?

Thanks a lot.

When I try to submit my invotes with Yahoo and Hotmail I get a security token error.


Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator (http://diecastcrazy.com/community/sendmessage.php) and describe the action you performed before you received this error.


In the admin panel if I try to save my settings I get this error.

Warning: file_put_contents([path]/admincp/../OpenInviter/config.php) [function.file-put-contents (http://diecastcrazy.com/community/admincp/function.file-put-contents)]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/admincp/oi_settings.php on line 89

[F0xy]

this would be so much better if it was implemented into the user registration. During registration through facebook, bebo and myspace etc this is thrown up during the registration process which would mean each new member would be emailing there mates while registering on your site.

[dirtycrow]

Did you follow all of the instructions?
yes, i do believe so.

i used to have facebook connect, have since uninstalled it. could this be my issue?

nice mod! Thanks!

Having the same issue as above! Nothing shows in the Import friends page. Its empty!

:(

[skylab]

I could def use this however I do have Facebook Connect.
I'll keep an eye out for this.

[nascartr]

Make sure to apply the changes above to the frontend.php file in the Openinviter folder you downloaded from OpenInviter.com

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add echo $oi_display at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

[nascartr]

I need someone that has got this working to let me know if they received the security token error and if the admin options are giving them problems too.

[amjadz4]

There are two $contents ... do we have to replace them both?

im getting the Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing. error too

[nascartr]

I just replaced one and received the same error.

[BBR-APBT]

When I try to submit my invotes with Yahoo and Hotmail I get a security token error.



In the admin panel if I try to save my settings I get this error.

You have to edit the frontend.php I think I may release mine here in this post for people to use I have to email a moderator and ask if I can.


The error in the adminCP is you have to chmod config.php to 777.

The error in the adminCP is you have to chmod config.php to 777.

Fixed the Admin CP problem by changing permissions. The frontend.php has been edited following your directions as I posted above but I still receive the security token error.

[nascartr]

im getting the error too


I tried replacing both $contents with the $oi_display and still get the security token error.

[BBR-APBT]

Security token fix here. This is not my code I just fixed it up so it works and it looks a little nicer. The security token error was not my fault as I didn't code the frontend.php Thats right from them here is my version. below that works.

There are two $contents ... do we have to replace them both?

im getting the error too

In my instructions I said replace all of them. So yes both of them need to be replaced.
If the owner of that site would ever email me back I am going to try and make this the official vBulletin release for here and the site. You can tell he rushed through the vbulletin side of things. It never worked out the box.

I had to implant my own CSRF security token stuff my self in the above file.

[nascartr]

That gave me an ugly error!

All set now?

[nascartr]

After sending the invites I had a blank image with an X. http://diecastcrazy.com/images/oks.gifMails sent successfully


Supposedly it leads to http://diecastcrazy.com/images/oks.gif but I do not have any image files, should they have been included with the OpenInviter package?

[BBR-APBT]

Yet another thing they have forgot oven at OpenInviter. Yes that should of came with the OpenInviter Package. I will make a x and a checkmark image here in a few minutes.

[nascartr]

Thanks!

[BBR-APBT]

Ok here are the missing images. I made them my self they are not the ones that came with OpenInviter. Feel free to make your own. Be sure to edit frontend.php to link to the new images.

Remember every one I said its in its beta stage. I am compiling all these post to make some new install instruction instructions.
Hopefully they email me back so I can include the frontend.php with this as it will hopefully be the official release. All the errors every one is getting is from OpenInviter code not mine. But hey at least I fixed it for every one here.

[vitrag24]

will this work for 3.7.1?

[BBR-APBT]

will this work for 3.7.1?
I am not sure as I haven't tested it with 3.7.1. I dont see why it wouldn't. You may have to manually add the link in the nav bar is all I can see that would go wrong.

[ICEEXOL]

Facebook does not work.

[BBR-APBT]

Facebook does not work.

You have to tell OpenInviter at there support site. I am not supporting their code. Plus facebook is only one out of the other 30 or so that are there. Plus you never clicked Install so no support will be giving from me.

[nascartr]

Facebook imports ok for me.

[TimberFloorAu]

We have this mod tagged, as it looks very interesting.

Could you confirm. Does the open inviter, when connected, link you to your respective addressbook within whicheever 3rd party you chose eg."gmail"

What happens next, does it import every single person to your vb account, or give you a tick list of people on that addressbook to invite to your forum ?

Please could you confirm, as we dont want generic invited being sent to everyone.

I for instance have 10-20,000 contacts within just one gmail account.

It imports them to a list then you have check boxes of who you want to invite.
You set one message that is sent and the user can enter their own message.
It will then send both messages to the users email box.

Thanks for the reply.

May I ask, the importer, does this in any way, store user contacts in 3rd party areas, which would / could present security issues.

Is the username / password md5

Currently it doesn't call home but they plan to make it call home to track user and api key. Which I will not upgrade when it calls home. It runs completely on your server and logins directly to the provider you choose. The login looks as if it came from the users computer.

My biggest concern with this is security.

Even on their demo screen: http://openinviter.com/demo/

Its not encrypted.

[BBR-APBT]

My biggest concern with this is security.

Even on their demo screen: http://openinviter.com/demo/

Its not encrypted.

The user and password being sent to aol, gmail etc?

If I make it encrypt the password on my server then send it to aol, gmail etc. It will show the wrong password as being entered. If you have any ideas how to get myspace, aol, gmail, etc. to accept encrypted mails let me know. I don't see this as any different then logging on to any of the services over your browser with out using https.

I mean if someone was sniffing your connection sure they will see the plain test password. Turn on ssl on your server. Problem fixed.

[Skyrider]

Any possible way you can select the contacts you wish to send the invite on? I tried the demo at : http://openinviter.com/demo/ and it grabs all the contacts right away.

[BBR-APBT]

Yeah it grabs all contacts and pulls them to the page then you can check the box and fill in a little message. Then press send it will then send it to the contacts you have checked off.

I am having an issue where in the latest version of vb 3.8.2, the settings for open inviter overwrite the styles & templates settings in the admin cp. Disabling this plugin brings it back.

Otherwise it works fine for me, I made all your edits and used your frontend.php

I tested on vb 3.7 and it's fine, it brings teh open inviter settings to the bottom of teh admin cp. Just 3.8.2

What exactly is it over writing?

[amjadz4]

its over writing the styles and templates menu..from the admincp. the S&T menu disappears.. when its enabled.

[BBR-APBT]

Change the menu numbers in the file that goes in the xml dir.

I don't know why its doing that for you.

[UltraFanatics]

thanks but it does not work with hotmail.co.uk

Is it working now mate? I pretty much want this for hotmail and facebook!

[UltraFanatics]

Anyone?

[tscargo]

thanks but it does not work with hotmail.co.uk

Make sure you have loaded the latest plugins, you can download them by calling the autoupdate.php script via your browser.

I recently sent in a fix to the development team, and they said it was implemented now.

I just tested it and it works flawlessly with any domain now.

I am working on it later today to generate a Referral Link.

I've been trying that myself without much luck. Here's what I have but it's not working.

in OpenInviter/config.php
<?php
require_once('/path/to/my/forum/global.php');
$url = "index.php?referrerid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
$openinviter_settings=array(
"username"=>"blah",
"private_key"=>"11111111111111111111111111111111",
"cookie_path"=>'/mycookiepath',
"message_body"=>"You are invited to blah.com! Please use the following link to visit the site: $url", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
"message_subject"=>" is inviting you to www.blah.com", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
"transport"=>"curl", //Replace "curl" with "wget" if you would like to use wget instead
"local_debug"=>"on_error", //Available options: on_error => log only requests containing errors; always => log all requests; false => don`t log anything
"remote_debug"=>FALSE //When set to TRUE OpenInviter sends debug information to our servers. Set it to FALSE to disable this feature
);
?>

In the invite email it will show:
You are invited to blah.com! Please use the following link to visit the site: http://www.blah.com/index.php?referrerid=

but 'userid' is not getting passed :(

Awesome mod BTW, even with the openinvitaion quarks and issues. ;)

[BBR-APBT]

I will work on this in the next few days for a update. Which will include the referrer link.

[accludetuner]

Awesome! Thank you!

One other suggestion I could make since I plan to do this on my site is to be able to change where the "Invite Friends" link is. Instead of in the "Quick Links" drop-down, I plan to put it in the actual navbar and in the footer navbar.

[bizkitpark]

does not work at all !!!

just to let you know, the code I posted seems to work fine in the openinviter adminCP settings page but not when actually sending emails.

You gotta follow the install instructions properly for it to work.

Is your forum in the root directory? If so did you change the permissions for the OpenInviter folder to 777?

[bizkitpark]

i've done exactly what you said but nothing appears

[sparklywater]

Can someone please help me, I want to display the OpenInviter interface within one of the vBulletin phrases, the message which is shown to a new user just after registering. I've tried using the variable $oi_display within the phrase body but it doesn't work, the variable does not get parsed. If someone can let me know how to make this work within the phrase that would be great.

[mattpist]

im not getting anything on the invite friends page. here's the page:

http://squattheplanet.com/forum/misc.php?oi=true

under "import your friends" there's nothing.

[BBR-APBT]

Did you make the proper edits I have stated?


Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

[mattpist]

yes, i followed your instructions to the letter. files are in the correct place (using your files) and the openinviter folder is in the root. ran the postinstall.php and everything...

[accludetuner]

and the openinviter folder is in the root.
That could be it....it needs to be in the same directory that your forum is in.

[accludetuner]

WxP - the OpenInviter directory needs to be in your forum directory. The oi_settings.php file needs to be in your adminCP directory. Doesn't look like you have it that way. Also, make sure you use the oi_settings.php file from the openinviter/adminCP/ directory (4.19 KB).

[sparklywater]

Does anyone have an answer to my question? Can someone please help me, I want to display the OpenInviter interface within one of the vBulletin phrases, the message which is shown to a new user just after registering. I've tried using the variable $oi_display within the phrase body but it doesn't work, the variable does not get parsed. If someone can let me know how to make this work within the phrase that would be great.

[josh2007]

when i click invite friends it goes to the page but it dont load nothing but the header that says import your friends whats wrong?

EDIT: I got it i was adding (echo $oi_display) when i did not need the () my bad

[UltraFanatics]

When I try and run it I get this "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing"

Any ideas?

[UltraFanatics]

Sorted that now guys!

Last question - Is it possible to add a link to the navbar and can guests use it also?

[mattpist]

That could be it....it needs to be in the same directory that your forum is in.

when i said 'root' i meant the root of my forums. can anyone else help me? it's still not showing up. i moved my forum today so the new link is:

http://squattheplanet.com/misc.php?oi=true

still nothing is showing.

[jasonuk]

Hey BBR,

Many thanks for your fix... have it working fine now!

Just a quick question... when the contacts receive their invitation email - in the subject line it prefixes the name of the website before the subject you can edit in the AdminCP. (e.g. 'XXXX is inviting your to join microsoft.com) Can you change it (the XXXX bit) to show the inviting member's name instead of the website name? (so they know who the invite is from!)

Kindest regards,

Jason

[bojomojo]

I installed it, its in the menu, and it shows when clicked.. but.. it is shown below the forums and above the events.. how can I fix that?

[skylab]

Still no good with facebook connect.. Also the layout seems to suck?! Not integrated at all with vbulletin unless im doing something wrong

[Manoel J?nior]

You are doing the same template, how to fix?

Is there any work around or a way to disable the facebook part of this mod?

[matthewhotdude]

also people with hotmail.co.uk address can not invite their contacts. I tried the autoupdate.php and got this error

[jskoh]

i this mob still isnt stable, probably can remove it from here... thank.

[matthewhotdude]

It would be perfect if I could get the autoupdate to work

[matthewhotdude]

Please someone, it's a awsome mod apart from this one problem

Hello,

How did you get it to appear in the last step of registration?

[Akyeame Kwame]

Yahoo is no longer importing but gmail is. Is there an issue on the yahoo side of things?

[matthewhotdude]

Hotmail won't connect.... This should be removed if no support

[BBR-APBT]

Hotmail won't connect.... This should be removed if no support

Mod is no longer supported. It is not marked as supported. Most of the problems are with Open Inviter. Not my code. All I did was build the bridge. They update the connection files to each platform like google, gmail, facebook. Why would I want support their project.

I did say I would not support their code and once every started with problems with their code I stopped supporting this plugin.

The plugin works fine several people got it working just fine.

[ExplosiveGFX]

This makes my forum whitepage. :(

[ExplosiveGFX]

Can I get any help as to why this could make my forum white page please? :/

[Floris]

error_log will disclose the error most likely.

[ExplosiveGFX]

in config.php I put "ini_set("display_errors", true);" and now instead of a whitepage I get this:

Warning: file_put_contents([path]/acp/../OpenInviter/config.php) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/acp/oi_settings.php on line 89

in the AdminCP, and when I go to my site, I get..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/explosive/public_html/forum/OpenInviter/frontend.php on line 201

:/

Any help on what could cause that?

[ExplosiveGFX]

I got it working http://explosivegfx.com/forum/images/smilies/new/thumbup.gif

I've been trying that myself without much luck. Here's what I have but it's not working.

in OpenInviter/config.php

);
?>

In the invite email it will show:


but 'userid' is not getting passed :(

Awesome mod BTW, even with the openinvitaion quarks and issues. ;)




I forgot all about this thread! I ment to update it a while ago. Checked and it appears that no one has posted the solution to including the referral ID in the URL so here's how I got them to work.

Almost the same as above but a little subtle change.

In OpenInviter/config.php
<?php
require_once('/home/dir/to/my/site/forum/global.php');
$ref_id = $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];
$ref_url = "http://www.mysitename.com/index.php?referrerid=" . $ref_id;
$openinviter_settings=array(
'username'=>'myusername',
'private_key'=>'1111111111111111111111111111111111',
'filter_emails'=>'',
'transport'=>'curl',
'local_debug'=>'on_error',
'remote_debug'=>'',
'message_subject'=>' is inviting you to www.mysite.com',
"message_body"=>"You are invited to MySiteName! Please use the following link to visit the site:

$ref_url",
'cookie_path'=>'/mytempdir'
);

The only real change is that I had to pass userinfo[userid] to $ref_id and then insert $ref_id as the id to be used in the URL. It didn't like being inserted straight into the URL. ALso, note the message_body and text are in double quotes ". It did not work with single quotes there. Other than that, change all the appropriate info to your site and it should work just fine.

Hint: if you change the config.php file and upload to your site, then go into the OpenInviter settings in adminCP (or refresh the page), it should show the proper URL with YOUR userid. That's how you know it works ;)

[accludetuner]

I get the following error if anyone can help?

Fatal error: Call to a member function shareads() on a non-object in /home/chattabo/public_html/includes/functions.php(5737) : eval()'d code on line 32

doesn't sound related to this mod at all. Sounds more like it would be related to some sort of advertising mod perhaps???

It is tagged as not supported and in beta stage. I have no plans to update this as I do not use open inviter.

Its not going to there are template changes and probably some code changes.
I do not plan to upgrade this to VB4.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If someone wants to take over this mod feel free to contact me.
