macc

nice mod

i'll try it soon

installed.......

This is great :)
Installed.

Being able to limit the amount of invitations that each user has would be awesome.

Cyb, as always you've done it again.

Your mods are always innovative and very useful.

Installed, rated and nominated !

Thank you very much

"invite friend" doesnt show in my nav bar.
whats the address so i can put it there
manually?
thanks

I'm glad you like it.

'Invite' link code:
Surround link by TD tags if needed.

Thankyou Installed :up:

thanks! you rock man! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Can you limit invitations per user/usergroup?

For instance User/s 1 From User group X can have 10 invites?

And User/s 1 From User group Y can have 25 Invites?

Or even Invites based on post count?

i will try it :)
installed:)

This is the perfect Spambots Killer. :)

But how to change the normal Invitations to the Invitations where a Invitationcode is needed?

And BTW - the navbar Link is missing in vBadvanced. :(

Awesome stuff once again Cybernetec. *Reserved :)

ima try this out, thank you

Excellent work, Thanks

Excellent as always Cyb mods.

If you allow a suggestion. To make this mod even more perfect, something like verify e-mail before getting access to registration page would be fantastic.

One of the anoying things with Vb is people giving fake e-mails when they attend to registration.

Cheers

Thanks, great work as always.

here are a couple requests for the next revision

• check the emaill address in the outgoing invitation against the user database to make sure the email address is not already associated with a user.
• use the referral ID of the sender in the outgoing invitation request so the sender will get credit for the referral. Example: http://www.domain.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=551 (you could make this an on/off option in the setup)
• Put the outgoing email text in mod's VB Options like you did with the Advanced Forum Rules mod. I would be nice to be able to change the text of the email without having to edit and reinstall the xml

Just my $0.02, thanks again for the great mods!

1. Invitation will just be ignored if you are invited to forum where you are already member.

2. This is already implemented. When user accepts invitation and register, inviter is marked as referral.

3. Message can be modified/translated in Phrase Manager. There is no need to change original XML. Editing phrases in original XML is also not recommended because of several reasons... And it's better to keep this in phrases to allow people with several languages installed to have all translations available.


You're welcome.

Cybernetec?

Enable "Only invited users can register" in product options.

For navbar link, try to globalize/insert: $cybareg_navbarlink

Is there a possibility to let us choose if invited Users allways habe to insert a Invitation ID even normal Registrations are not disabled? Would be fine in another Update. :)

Hmm, it's like logging-in to site without proper password. You must be blocked until proper pass is typed. If you are allowed to put anything as password then it's completely unneded. If they can get in without proper Invitation Code, most of typed codes will be "fhgdhfghd" - completely useless data in database, and just one more irritating field in registration form.

For some reason, I have new users attempt to register but for whatever reason, every time the answer the 'random question' it tells them the answer is incorrect... i tried it myself with the same result.

After further testing, it appears that it is case sensitive. Anyway to remove this so it accepts the answer regardless of whether they use caps or lower case?

http://www.reptilejunction.com/forums

It IS case sensitive. This will be changed in next version.

I totally agree... 10 fold.

Cyb, you do such a great job with all your Hacks!

INSTALLED!!!:D

Any Idea why some Mailadresses are not working?

Example - AdC_Toledo@Toledo.de (This is just a fictive Example i changed only the Letters not the format!!!)

Quick question Cyb...

I believe this was ask previously so I apologize... but do you think there will be a way in a later update you may release that will allow specific user groups to use the "Invite Friend" option?

My reason for asking is because an "Unregistered" person visiting the site can just send invites to; for example "Frick & Frat". Neither Frick nor Frat will have ANY idea on who sent them the invitation because it lists the sender as "Unregistered". I would prefer to have only my current registered members be allowed to send invites to other people.

Or...

Is there a way to simple hide the "Invite" link (or button if using a different style template), from people that are not registered to the site. Seems simple enough, I think since a person who is not registered will see the "Register" link whereas a person who signs in does not. Is there a way to use the same concept so to speak with the "Invite" option?

I would love a contacts inviter with this. (msn, yahoo, outlook, etc)

Any chance on this?

Excellent mod!!

Would like to see where you can add the persons name that you wish to invite. Makes it a little more personal :)

Working wonderfully, just edited the phrase and made it known.

I tried to send an invite & after it was done it redirected me back to my main site @ dawnswebdesigns.com versus my forum's home page @ dawnswebdesigns.com/forum. Where can I fix that? Thank you for this mod. :)

Forum URL setting in vBulletin Options > Site Name/URL/Contact Details.

Will this work for 3.8??

In regards to the update above that is bold text, does the link redirects Unregistered user to the Smilie's page list by default? Just curious because others may get the same results as I have when I click on the Invite link when I am not logged in.

On a side note, I used vBa CMPS and created a different redirect page to be viewed if an Unregistered user attempts to use the invite feature. Unfortunately, I'm still trying to fix a slight bug in the HEADER of my custom template because I get a "Invalid Page Specified". I would have to refresh the page in order to get it to work properly... but besides that little bug, it works really good with the Mod :).

good work Cybernetec :up:

i translated v1.2 to Turkish
i changed only the default question for our (Turks)

Turkish Explaning:
v1.2 nin tamamen T?rk?e'ye ?evirilmiş halidir
standart olarak gelen soru "T?rkiye'nin başkenti neresidir" olarak değiştirilmiştir
s?r?m g?ncellemelerini takip etmeyi l?tfen unutmayınız

thank you for translating TilkiBey ;)

Thankyou Installed

There is a problem

When it reviewed the existing questions or page me out a blank sheet of paper

Is there a conflict with vBSEO?
