I would like to change the email this sends. I changed what was in the template added, but where do I find this text:

This is a message from Dennis ( mailto:xxxxxxx@xxxx.net ) from the Damn That Sucks! ( http://damn.that-sucks.net/forums/ ).

Obviously it's not worded correctly and I am unfortunately fussy about that.

Thanks,

Anyone help me with the above problem i have with this ? please ?

they fill out the requested info but once its done it looks like this:
http://www.sprnch.com/forums/view.php?pg=invite

I removed all the "$" from all varables like vboptions[bbtitle] so users who are not logged on can get a idea of what this example is supposed to do.

So the name they enter i placed in the template and the template is sent.
the pics n what not I have done already. There is a new area called "optemailmessage" that I would like to also add.

attached is a fill out form I made please talk a look at the mild ajustments I made...

If you could help that would be really nice of you.

quite sexy, the mod isn't a hard oen though, if i recall it's just a matter of changing $message to $template_name (assuming you've assigned the template to the variable properly). in the vbmail() tags :)

She get that nice template... with your friends attached.

If you can set that up I know you would love it... I been to your site.

I posted a dumb question, then I saw that your hack already covers everything. Thanks a lot!

Thanks,

Lem

I love the mod and use it on 2 different boards. Any plans to port it over as a plugin for 3.5?

/me clicks install

Great hack! Installed without a hitch.

*bigdog829 installs

Very easy & nice hack thanks

I would like to have this on a 3.5 beta 3 board.
Erwin, before I dive into the code, will it work on 3.5, and if not, do you have plans to modify it so that it will?
thank you

I used the auto-installer and it wouldn't work in firefox, so I dl'ed the manual install and put the vbulletin_global.js in manually and works fine now.

Except it only shows up on the portal page, the main forums don't have "contact us" or "refer friends", not sure if it's the template I'm using or what. So if anyone knows where I could look to fix that it would be appreciated. Otherwise I love this one.

**brainfreeze Installed!

Any possibility we could add a standard form field on the bottom of the forum page - similar to http://forums.ikonboard.com (must be logged in to see the "Invite a Friend" feature.

I really dont get this I have recently upgraded to V3.0.8 and I know get this error:-

ewadmin_simon, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

(EVERYONE GETS THIS ERROR!!!) HELP!

*Runs round in circles!

Is your contact form/ email members permission in vB AdminCP Options enabled?

How would I know? Could you tell me how to find out...

great work... installed

Thanks for the great work Erwin! (And to Safiel on another thread for the 3.5 version.)

This is a great hack.

A great add-on would be to add 'x' reputation points to the member who successfully refers a friend that registers. This would add motivation for users to refer new members.

I think this is a great hack. I customized it to include an AIM form for users to AIM friends with the referral link AND e-mail them. If anyone is interested in the code, just PM me.

If someone is not logged in, it will show up as "Unregistered" and referrerid=0. And if they do not have to be logged in, any abuse of the system could go untraceable. If the user is forced to login, and then abuses the system by spamming people, it would at least (unless they edit it out, but not everyone is that smart) have the referrerid link so you could know who it was who abused it in the event that someone complained about it and could send you the e-mail they received.

I spent a good amount of time pulling my hair out searching through calendar.php, private.php, etc. and here on vBulletin.org for a solution, and finally found it. Below, in green, is the code needed to be added to require users to login to see the refer page.

I don't take any credit for this, other than finding and informing everyone of the code. Here is the author's thread.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59859

In sendmessage.php

// Erwin's Refer Hack
if (!$_REQUEST['refer'])
{
if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR !($forumperms & CANEMAIL) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & CANVIEWOTHERS)))
{
print_no_permission();
}
}
if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
print_no_permission();
}
// Erwin's Refer Hack

I know print_no_permission(); is already in there, but I couldn't get it to work by inserting it with OR or AND into:

if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR !($forumperms & CANEMAIL) OR (($threadinfo['postuserid'] != $bbuserinfo['userid']) AND !($forumperms & CANVIEWOTHERS)))

If anyone has a cleaner or better way, I'm all ears.

Awesome mod Erwin, thanks for sharing.!

I don't see it noted, but if someone does refer a friend, will it send their friend a referral link using the member's referral ID?

Well, I feel really stupid asking this, but, I'm getting the white screen of "no template" when hitting either "Refer friends" or "Contact us". My templates are in all of my styles, and I've done the php edit without problem. This is a simple hack to install, which is what is making me pull what little hair I have out of my head.

Any suggestions? I know it has to be something simple that I missed.

Thx Erwin, almost something which I'm lookin for. Cant we modify this hack a bit such that this can be used as "invite friends" on forums where registration is closed. I want something like that on my site, where I have closed registrations, and want to give some invites to "certain" users based on "certain" conditions. I'm not into php and html... so can erwin or someone help me on this pls.

Thx
p.s I know of a site which used the same mod and implemented the thing I wanted :)

I would be thrilled if some one can show me how to hide everything from subject down to send.. just keep the functionality, just hide it from users, i tried input="hidden" and got a message required info not filled out..

can anyone help?

Quickly installed nice works perfect on v3.0.7

:)

thanks Erwin
how can I block to unregistered users sending refer?

I should block that group because.they are using "refer to friend mail" like their mail account,they can send alots of mail to everywhere..

please inform.
regards.

will this work with the latest vb version? if not can someone make it work?
