Referrals URL anywhere?

[Zain Jaffer]

How do I find my referrals URL without having to go into FAQ all the time, is there a way to create a page, or add it in the user cp?

Help appreciated. Thanks!

Sure, you can take the link and add it pretty much where you want. Here's an example that will add into your stats on the forumhome template.

in the FORUMHOME template find:

<div><phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$newuserid" 2="$newusername">$vbphrase[welcome_to_our_newest_member_x]</phrase></div>


After add:

<br />
$vbphrase[refer_id]: <a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]</a>


Now add a phrase:
Phrase Type: Global
Varname: refer_id
Text: Your Custom Referall ID is

Wala, you now have the custom link on the forum page. Of course this is down and dirty but it gives you an idea :)

Very neat :)

How do I add this to the usercp of a member?

btw, thanks for the speedy help!

There are a lot of ways you can do this, it's really a matter of preference. Here is a way to add it to the Edit Profile section of the usercp.

add a phrase:
Phrase Type: Global
Varname: refer_id
Text: Your Custom Referall ID is

add another phrase:
Phrase Type: Global
Varname: refer_id2
Text: Custom Refferal ID

In your modifyprofile template find:

value="$vbphrase[edit_email_and_password]" name="gotopassword" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>


Add after:

<!-- Custom referral ID -->
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<legend>$vbphrase[refer_id2]</legend>
<br />
$vbphrase[refer_id]:
<br />
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[forumhome].php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]</a>
</fieldset>
<br />
<!-- Custom referral ID -->


Here's what it will look like..
