that worked, thanks!

LOL Psionic Vision, it'a a damn cause I thought you were going to yell at me :p
wolfyman, the bug wasn't actually a bug but a silly feature. The datecuttoff only displayed referrals AND REFERRERS that koined after that date. So the referrers needed to be new members too. How silly of mine now that I think of it, lol :o

This hack is great, but one thing that I didn't like was how my users were being sent to register.php before they had a chance to see the site. I know if I click on a link somewhere and end up on a registration page, I'm probably going to not register.

So what I did was in the product .xml file I found this code:
and I replaced it with this code:
then saved it, reimported the product (overwrite enabled).
Hope this helps, Merry Christmas.

Not if "somewhere" is your friend's e-mail.

Yes if "somewhere" is my friend's email. I would first want to take a look at what the site was for before taking the time to "register" on another site.

Does it work? I thought it wasn't going to work this way :o

With the hack the way it is - if someone goes to the registration page, decides to look around, and THEN registers - does the referrer get credit?

Yeah I tested it out already. You can browse the site and when you go to register the persons referral id is there.

Yes either way it should work once the variable has been sent, or what I mean is once someone follows the link with the referral id you should be all set. I'm not a coder though so I'm not claiming to be right, lol, I believe I am though since I tested it out already.

Thanks, it's working great.

Question! Right now I only have one person with a referral from when i started the contest.

How does it choose the other member names with no referrals to be displayed on that page?

It also shows 23 members total, (1 with the 1 referral and 22 with 0 referrals) why 23? and can I change that?

Thanks,

Ahhh I should add a check... :(

Installed easy, works great, thanks!

I have a few questions:

Is there a way I can place up the welcome message a the top of every logged in members page so they can refer members etc like in the screenshot? (Or something similar)

Is there a way I can totally reset refereals so everybody has 0? For if I started a competition and I wanted everybody to start off fairly.

And lastly...

Is there a way I could add a link in the members control panel, where they go to enter their profile, before edit signature there could be (in bold) - Referrer Statistics linking to the referrer page?

Thanks!

Adam :)

Add it in the navbar template and it will show in every page with a navbar. You will need some basic HTML skills to do that but it shouldn't be very difficult. However if I was a member I would be quite annoyed by this, even if I kept it collapsed...

Set a cut off date in the hack's settings. By default it will display only members (including the referrerrs!) who have registered after that date. If you want the cutoff to only affect only referrals then replace your referrers.php with the one posted in this thread by me. However there is a known bug with that which currently I don't have time to fix but I will try to fix it shortly: If a member has referrals but none of them after that date he will show with 0 referrals.

Sure, just find the template USERCP_SHELL and add the appropriate line in the navigation :)

Thanks for the great hack, BUT when I exclude any usergroup from (Excluded Usergroups Option) it also exclude it from referral count :(

I do not want to exclude any usergroup from referral count, But I need to exclude some banned users and some other groups from referrers list.

I also noticed that the referrers page take 5 to 10 second to (load) open !! it's because I have more than 200,000 registered members in my forum ? If yes, is there any way to make it open faster like if we say show only top 100 members with referrers? Or show members who have 5 referrers and more?

Last note, I have seen some users with zero referrals result !!! I think all users with zero referrals result should not be shown.

Thanks again :)

Has anyone tested this mod with vBulletin 3.5.3? I've just installed it, and it appears to work properly, except that when I view referrers.php, I cannot move beyond page one!

Check it out: http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/referrers.php?page=3 (actually takes you to page one, and nothing you do will take you to another page. Any suggestions?

Michelle, great hack!!! Works wonderfully on 3.5.3 and i have no problem viewing any of the multiple pages.

Comments like this always make my day. :)

Installed as per instructed but 'Page cannot be found'.

Good work, I like this, its very useful.

Can someone post where they placed there link to the referral page and the code they used?

Thanks

i love it!! works great for me!!!

I have installed this hack as it sounds great but there is an issue that I found with the counts. If I set my date cutoff to 23-1-2006 it says I have 2 refferers but if I go to VB and do a search for Referrals from start date of 1-23-2006 to current I get like 12 referrers? Why are the counts off?

I think this hack is grabbing the date correctly. I have tested both systems this hack versus the VB counts and they are off big time

Installed, thanks

The count issue is because it was designed to cut the referrers too (which means it only shows referrers that registered AFTER the cut-off date). Search the thread, I have posted a fix to this issue for those that want it to work differently (differently=like the vb admincp ;))
Also, you have to enter the date in the european format, which is DAY-MONTH-YEAR

I have searched this thread a couple time but cant find your fix. Basically I want the counts to look like the ADMINCP counts.

Currently your hack says
Date cutoff
This is useful for referral contests. Any referrers or referrals that joined before this date will be excluded from the Statistics. The date must be entered in format DD-MM-YYYY. If you set it to 0 it will display all results.

So if I enter 23-01-2006 for the cutoff date and I want it to show all referrers and refferals from 23-01-2006 to Current?

On mine that option doesn't work at all, it's a bug in the script ... haven't been fixed :(

Thanks for the great product.
Working like a charm.

INSTALL clicked.

Great Hack - Thanks so much!

Is there a way to set the Referred Usernames column so it has the "smallfont" class? A few members have 20+ referrals, so displaying them with the smallfont class would be a lot easier to display.

There is no such feature in this hack but I believe you can set the column to smallfont by modifying the appropriate template.

You can change the refbit template to do that :)

Looks like a great hack!.
Does it work for vB 3.0.1 ? :)
Thanks

Of course not :confused:

Can you fix the error it shows when there's no referral referred?

Why would you want a referral statistics hack when there are no referrals to be displayed? :confused:

Any ideas why pagination isn't working for me?

Hmm, have you made any changes to the file or to the template?
How many pages should actually be there? Is eleven correct?

There should be multiple pages, and I would expect 11 sounds reasonable. I haven't made an file or template changes, but just to be safe, I'm going to go back and reinstall.

EDIT: Just did a fresh reinstall, but have the same problem.
