Referral Link (and Total) Block in UserCP

[kall]

This modification is effectively a Port to vB 4 of this mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202533).

It will provide members with a block in the top of their UserCP (see screenshot) that tells them what their Referral link is, how to use it, and how many people they have referred to your Forum.

The count only increases when a Registration is finalised.

I have tested this on 2 sites of mine, it appears to work exactly as it should, but please do report any issues/requests in this thread.

[radmoose]

Thanks! Was working on some promo ideas for the site and this is perfect!

[utahraves]

I know I could probably go into the phrases/language and change the wording but it would be nice if it showed up in the Settings>Options of the AdminCP - Maybe the ability to select the location of where it shows (like at the bottom of the usercp instead).

Thanks for the great product.

[Alecsmith]

working perfect thanks

[merk_aus]

thanks dude as said elsewhere i absolutely love ti.

[Zaiaku]

Very ncie and clean mod. Excellent job!

[Welshy2008]

How did you get the "rounded Edges" instead of the Boring plain square ones?

[kall]

What browser are you using? This block should just take on the style of your existing style.

[Welshy2008]

I am using IE 7.

My Members use this, too. as well as Fire Fox.

[kall]

And you see the rounded blocks elsewhere in your UserCP?

[riverbender]

I need this! Thank You! FWIW it applied my style perfectly. Rounded in Flock but not in IE7 just like the rest of the "stock" blocks.

[kf4eok]

great idea
installed

[Chris Rosso]

works great thanks

[kall]

works great thanks
You're welcome. An even better way to thank a Mod developer is to click the Install button when you have installed it. :)

[iyama]

Getting on vb4 pl1 this: XML Error: Empty document at Line 0

edit: reinstal and succesly

Where can i find the phrase to edit it to my language?

[kall]

I'm looking at Phrasing it today, at the moment you would have to edit the template itself.

[iyama]

Could you give me a hint where the txt is? I'm searching buth cant find it directly

[iyama]

Yes i found it.

In the template > usercp_vbereferrals

[TheSupportForum]

would it be possible for admins to see who the user(s) have been referred by after they have signed up in a seperate list for admins only

so you would have something like

User ID:
Username:
Referred By User ID:
Referred By Username:
Date & time User Referred
Date & Time User signed up


or something similar to this

[thedreamer09]

[oddmud]

i tried the link, when i click on register it doesn't show anything in the referral location. :(

edit: wait, i guess it doesn't do that.. or does it?

[kall]

I don't think it does man. :)

It must pick it up from the URI.

[Drache]

works good with 4.0.2 thanks.

[oddmud]

I don't think it does man. :)

It must pick it up from the URI.

Well in the text it says that it does. This is the only reason why I asked. It works I think.

[kall]

In my text? Where? I should correct it.

[oddmud]

I would like to be able to see the list of total referrals, and who was referred.

Any way to do this?

Oh and read the text

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/05/43.jpg "it will auto-fill your username in the register form"

[kall]

Ahh. So it does. I'll fix that. :)

[David Copeland]

Once I download this, how exactly do I install it?

[kall]

Hi David,

Just import the Product in Product Manager. It's automatically placed in the top of the UserCP.

[seeson]

I've installed this and my members have said that when their guests try to sign up with the referral link, it does not auto-fill the referrers name. Any help?

[David Copeland]

Hi David,

Just import the Product in Product Manager. It's automatically placed in the top of the UserCP.

Where is Product Manager?

[kall]

Where is Product Manager?
AdminCP - Plugins and Products - Product Manager.

[mandingo]

Neat.

[kall]

Neat.
Thanks for being Install #100. :)

[mandingo]

Thanks for being Install #100. :)

:) Thanks for the neat mod.

[tiga2]

I love this mod, But I am trying to figure out how I can show referrals made that are in group X:

<div class="block" id="referral_information">
<h2 class="blockhead">Your Referral Information - Total Referrals ({vb:raw referrals})</h2>

How can I modify "vb:raw referrals" and add something like "& is in Group 4" :p

[RSNF]

Is there a way to track all the referrals through the admin control panel or have an option so that members can see who the leaders are over all for most referrals?

Thanks for this excelent mod :)

[typecast]

This is set to take you to index.php I had to edit usercp_vbereferrals and change the index.php to register.php.

I don't know why this isn't setup this way when it is installed, there is no way the referrer id is going to be carried forward when someone clicks from the forum (index.php) to the register page.

I also took the text control out of the link so that it shows as a link and not a button.

[donwon]

I installed but don't see anything. Am i missing something?

thx, works great :)

This is the problem I have now. Where did you change that so it will show up for all users?

[Kingdombuilder]

Yes i found it.

In the template > usercp_vbereferrals

Thank you for your post now i have it fixed as well...


Go to Admin Control Panel >> Styles and Templates >> Style Manager >> (for each style) Edit Templates (in the down arrow by each Style name) >> User Control Panel Templates >> usercp_vbereferrals

Replace this:
<div class="block" id="referral_information">
<h2 class="blockhead">Your Referral Information - Total Referrals ({vb:raw referrals})</h2>
<div class="blockbody settings_form_border">
<div class="blockrow">
<p>Do you know somebody that might be interested in <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</b>? You can use the link below to refer others to our site. The link includes your unique referral ID so you will be credited for any referrals brought by using the link.
</p><br />
<p>If somebody follows <b><a class="textcontrol" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/index.php?referrerid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}">your referral link</a></b> to <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</b>, it will auto-fill your Username on their Register form. When they register as a new member your referral count will increase and keep track of how many people you have referred to the site!</p><br />
<p class="summaryinfo"><b>Important:</b> Please do not spam other sites or e-mails with your link to <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</b>, this will likely not bring many referrals and create acrimony rather than goodwill towards the site. One hint is to add the link to your Email signature.<br /></p>
<br /><div class="padding: 5px; font-size: 9px; border: 1px solid #c4c4c4; margin: 0 2px; width:50%;" id="referrallink"><legend>Your Referral Link for <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}:</b>&nbsp;</legend><a class="textcontrol" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/index.php?referrerid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}">{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/index.php?referrerid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}</a></div>
</div>
</div>

With This:

<div class="block" id="referral_information">
<h2 class="blockhead">Your Referral Information - Total Referrals ({vb:raw referrals})</h2>
<div class="blockbody settings_form_border">
<div class="blockrow">
<p>Do you know somebody that might be interested in <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</b>? You can use the link below to refer others to our site. The link includes your unique referral ID so you will be credited for any referrals brought by using the link.
</p><br />

[HotnHoly]

Hello,

I need this for vBulletin 4.1.4.

Regards!

[MagicThemeParks]

Works with 4.1.1 but needs a little tweak on the CSS as the referral link seems to be "bumping against" the text.

[tdkmatt]

where does it show up?

[tdkmatt]

it shows up in userCP then it goes away www.fatalitynetworking.com/forum

[tdkmatt]

it does not work in 4.1.4 it shows up once in about 45 mins! www.fatalitynetworking.com/forum

[tdkmatt]

Can it be moved? as it doe not show on my forum

[archet1337]

I can not get this to work on my 4.1.4 board. Nothing is showing up in the UserCP at all.

[TombstoneWarrior]

nuthing is showing up in my members usercp either. vb version 4.1.9 hope some finds a fix for this and post's it or update the mod so it will show up and stop not working for all of us who have nuthing showing up!!

[RapidRippeR]

thanks a bunch for this ...very useful

[JustAskJulie]

Excellent, installed. :)

This is already available in your AdminCP. Click Users -->referrals to view list of how many referrals a user has during a given time period.

[deverill2010]

Works on 4.2.0 Patch Level 2

Now time to have me a competition!

I'm not sure of any ways to track referrals by dates, which would be awesome for contests like this.

The only way to do it that I know of is to make a thread about it and have entries submitted to you via the thread or PM saying how many referrals they have at that time, and message you or post in the thread each time they get another referral. You would have to keep track of it all yourself. But that's the only way I know of that would work.

I'm using 4.2.0 on my RoG site and it works.

[Internetcafe]

Not working on 4.1.10.

Anyone still working on this ?

[kartheekb]

any one tried on 4.2.0

[motorhaven]

Yes, it works on 4.2.x.

It did NOT show up in usercp at first. In order for it to show up I had to go into the usercp_vbereferrals template, then resave the template (no edits). Once I did that it showed up for me. :)

[bosanci28]

@motorhaven ,is right ,you must resave to show, looks like it works under 4.2.1 , and the stats are in the admin cpanel / users / referrals.

Make sure you have the <br> ... see :



<br /><div class="padding: 5px; font-size: 9px; border: 1px solid #c4c4c4; margin: 0 2px; width:50%;" id="referrallink"><legend>Your Referral Link for <b>{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}:</b>
<br>
&nbsp;</legend><a class="textcontrol" href="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/index.php?referrerid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}">{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/index.php?referrerid={vb:raw bbuserinfo.userid}</a></div>
</div>

As the link will be in top of the last line.

[ReMarkable1991]

I have referrer enabled in registration(and see the field when I try to register). However neither when I fill it in manually or when I visit the forums for the first time trough ?referrerid=1 (Both with index.php or register.php) the referrer doesn't get registered anywhere.

Can't find it trough admin portal or anywhere in the database.
