It says that the e-mail address is not valid.

the email address is valid. I just put the xxx there cuz I didn't want to make it public.

But I tested 3 email accounts and they all come back to me.

If the emails are valid what are other possbile problems?

Thanks,
Carmen

Any other ideas? This must not work with 3.6.4 vbulletin.

I called my Host and they said something about the invite being scripted to only allow emails from the site email address. The From needs to be changed or something... I"m so confused ....

How has everyone else got this to work with 3.6.4? Your help is appreciated.. Caremn

These e-mail are not generated by the invitse script. These e-mail are generated by the receiving e-mail provider. Perhaps your domain is blocked or something on the e-mails that you are trying? You are the first one with such problem.

It's working now! I had to use the SMTP system.. thanks, Carmen

I have way to many invites and when I change how many each members get and do the Cron run now, i get this error...

Nothing in the setting is set to zero so I'm not sure what this error means. Thanks,
Carmen

Do not set the number of posts to 0.

thanks very much

Any plans to port this for 3.6.4?
Thanx,

Jacquii.

Of course. Soon.

i use it without problems on 3.6.4

I agree. Would be much appreciated if it could work for 3.6.4.

Fantastic ;)
Thanx!

Jacquii.

Thank you Psionic Vision, we appreciate the help :)

Are you sure? I'm considering installing this to 3.6.4

www.ragtek.org
i use here 3.6.5 and like you see theres no registration availablen
just with invite its available

maybe its because of my modifications, i changed a lot of code

What about the crons? There is no way 3.5 installer for crons will work on 3.6.

yes that i mean with modifications.
i deleted at beginning the crons because they didnt make that what i wanted

i just have a cron who checks if the invite is older than 3 weeks=>this will be delaited and the user gets +1

the other things i dont use

Isn't there some kind of referral system similar to to this? This sound like a great hack, its just my vB is 3.6.4. :(

Just be patient, a port will be released soon.

I've had this idea for a while & wanted to share it; I'd LOVE to see someone code this:

We have 'hidden' forums reserved for members of a specific secondary user group.
However, to get them assigned to that group, I have a list of instructions I send them.
1) Register
2) Click 'Contact Us' & request for permissions promotion
3) Wait to be approved.

My Proposed Modification to solve this:
It would be neat to have a special field on the registration form called 'Invitation Code' or something like that, which, when entered, will automatically join that new user to that secondary private user group.

Alternatively, being able to send a special 'invitation link' which will automatically have that field filled in would be nice.

Obviously I'd want to be able to make multiple invitation codes which corespond to multiple user groups.

This concept is kind of like a Coupon Code in a shopping cart; you enter a predefined code & automatically receive a discount; no need for manual approval.

p.s. - the secondary user groups I am referring to here are NOT joinable. They are for BETA testing software & only selected BETA members get invited.

If anyone has any input on this idea, please reply to this thread.
I'd love to see it.

yes it would be great

That is available in the commercial edition of this hack.

How do I get a hold of it? I needed this yesterday :-)

Please check out the site linked to in my signature. You can get a hold of it from there. :)

I tried but couldn't find the link. I found another mod that adds a user to a Secondary User group based on the value of a field displayed at registration. I'm winging it with that but would like a way to invite them via the Invites System.

I didn't see anything about that feature I was asking you about there. Can this automatically take 1 user's invites & add the new members to a secondary group?

Being a commercial version, I assume this isn't free. How much is it?

I am not sure I understand the question - please clarify.

Not currently (never requested), but it can add users to a primary group automatically.

As it states on the page, a license is $24.99, and that includes one year of support and updates.

As a customer I recomend you to buy the full version :)

1 User meant me allowing someone (1 named user) to dispense invite links & have users who register with them automatically joined to a secondary user group.

Yes, there is a special page that is used to send out invites - these invites are e-mails that contain a special link that, when used, make the new registrant a referee of the inviter and places him or her in an optional usergroup that you define if you want to via usergroup options.

Got it; sounds like a nice buy; I'll give it a try.
Before buying, do you have a document you can give me outlining the differences in the free Invites you made vs. the Commercial (only if you happen to have one)?

Just curious as to what to expect.

Does it work with 3.6.x?

The following features exist only in the commercial edition:

• Better Invite History (invites can be purged / cancelled, holds more information). Has fancy enchancements such as status highlights, etc.
• Daily invite reminders and expiration notifications, can be turned off if desired
• Ability to define how often reminders can be sent.
• Ability to reject received invitations.
• Ability to permanently opt out of receiving future invitations, with automatic marking of invite as rejected and with an admincp database management interface.
• Automatic prevention of invites from being sent out to already registered e-mails.
• Automatic prevention of invites from being sent out to the same e-mail multiple times.
• Ability to define users as "First Friends". Such users become mutual buddies with all new registrants, whether invited or not.
• As an alternative to automatic allocation (which can be turned off), there is an "Allocate Invites" tool, which gives you an ability to give out X invites to members that match a certain criteria.
• Image verification to prevent multiple submissions.
• MSN Contact Grabber included.
• A Lot More Configuration Options
• Usergroup placement feature is much more developed
• Invitation hash is stored in a cookie and is not lost between pages.
• If an invited person signs up without specifying invite code, the invite for that e-mail gets marked as accepted.
• More informative e-mails.

That's just some of the feature differences. If you wish, please - feel free to register at visionscripts.com and try out the online demo of the front-end.

The version available here does not - because of the cron issues (although it will soon be updated). The commercial edition, however, works with both 3.5 and 3.6.

Sounds nice; two more quick questions:

1) Is there a way to 'mass-refill' all member's invitations by a set number? Or, possibly give 20% more invites across the board based on registration volume?
I obviously wouldn't want to handpick & manually adjust for random members by hand.

2) Is it easy to 'upgrade' from your free Invites mod to the commercial one? Should I uninstall this one first? Will the db changes have issues when installing the commercial version b/c of changes the free one may have already made?

Yes, there is a special allocation tool for that, and it's interface is very similar to that on the "find user" screen. E.g. you can filter users by anything you want.

You'll need to undo and then redo template modifications, but aside from that it's just a re-upload of files and the product xml, and then a revert of any modified templates. :)

Looking forward to being able to use this again :)

I forgot to ask & forgive me if I 'overlooked' this in your documentation:

How are your customers notified of product updates? Do I need to subscribe somewhere? Is the download process of updates simple? From the customer area?

I want to make sure I'm notified once the Allocation feature is fixed.
