vB5 Invite-Only

What this addon do
With vB 5.6.1 every permitted user could generate an invite-/ referral-link to invite others to your forum. In vB 5.6.2 will come a new function to abort a registration with a message to the registering user. So this mod will abort the registration if the user did not use a referral-link or did use a not valid referral-link.

This is a free version so there is no option to turn this off until uninstall or disable the product from/ in your forum.

Attention:

As long as this addon is installed and active nobody without a valid referral-link could register!
A referral-code could be used multiple times until it will expires! There is no option to turn this off in this plugin!
A user could invite as much users he wants. There is no option to stop a user to send valid referral-links to others!


How to install

Just upload the unzipped folder into core/packages/ ... (core/packages/delinviteonlyfree)
The addon will install automatically and is active immediately!


How to uninstall

You could stop the plugin by disable the plugin in your admincp -> products and hooks -> product-manager -> dropdown right.

To fully uninstall the plugin, delete the folder delinviteonlyfree from core/packages/ and go to admincp-> products and hooks -> product-manager -> dropdown right -> uninstall

Version history

1.0.0 - Initial release
1.1.0 - Change the referralcode-check


With vB 5.6.1 the registration will stop with an api-error and no information to the registering user. After upgrading to vB 5.6.2+ the user will see either a message of a missing referral-code or a wrong referral code if there is no or no valid referral-code in the registration-link. Please use the Version InviteOnlyFree_110 and upload the delinviteonlyfree folder to the core/packages folder of your forum.

Do not install on any vB Version below 5.6.1!!!

Cannot register using the refer link... 5.6.4

Updated the code.
It should work now.
I don't know if vB had changed something, but I thought it was working with vB 5.6.2.

It now works, I only used the file "delinviteonlyfree", am I missing anything? Thank you so much.

Those files and folders are osX Files from the macbook and you do not need them.

can I get it to work by disabling the registration and allow the member to register using the invitation code?

Thank you.

I tried it and got the error:

----------------------------
An unexpected error was returned: 'invalid_page_url'
----------------------------

that's when I tried to register with the url I got from the usercp (correct?)

after I entered the name and wanted to move to the next field the error appeared

Thank you.
