UserCP Referral ID and Count
 

While supporting my mini-mod I came across a more in depth version of what I was trying to do. Once I saw it I had to add it to my site. Since I couldn't find it here, I created something of my own.

This hack will add a collapsible box in your UserCP with a message informing the user what the referral ID is, what it is for, and how to use it. The message can be, of course, rewritten in your phrases to fit your own site and users.

To install, simply install the product below in Manage Products, then of course you should click installed. :up:

Update: Sorry, re-uploaded the xml. I had set the wrong product dependency on the xml. I have removed it. It works again.

(first Code jitters I guess... :D)

Version 1.0.2:
Added a bit of code so that it will remember if you collapse it, or expand it and keep that formation so that you don't have to collapse it each time you go into the UserCP.

Version 1.0.3:
Corrected the query string so that it would not count users that had not been verified or passed through moderation. (user group 3 and 4 are not included in the referral counts now).

re-uploaded 1.0.3, minor change on version listed in the mod.

To upgrade install normally, set "Allow Overwrite" to 'yes'.

Rocks! And even with a screenshot. ;)

This is way to go. Many ppl forget about the Why in their functions - why users should make use of it.

Edit: bring back the script! :)

Thanks. That was one quick reply!

I already enjoyed you mini-mod. Thanks for this script. I really appreciate it. :)

i got this error when trying to import the product

i am running vb 3.8

Got the same error sadly.

I have it too

How can the user see who he has referred to the forums?

Installed :)

Edit - Not working ! :( Getting same error.. 3.6!

Edit the xml and remove:


Then it works fine.

thats because you got the idea From me haha :D or did you... lol

Crap. I mistyped the compatibility...

LOL.

Yeah, I saw it on your site and had to do it, but I couldn't find it anywhere so I wrote my own!

:D

I haven't added that one, it just counts it doesn't show who you referred. Hmm... An idea...

I'll see what I can do.

Will this work with 3.7.x ?? Anyone tried yet..

It will. It should work as far back as 3.6.

Thank you in advance!

If you can, please display users referred by him in this month, this year or give each user option to choose the time frame.

If you can do more, please add post count of each referred user because sometime, we want to ensure that they all are real referred person, not a faked referred members.

If you can do even more, please give user choose the minimum post counts of each referred in order for the referred user be displayed.

Thanks, will update to this version soon.

Thanks Installed :up:

Well imma put mine on disable and see what yours is like different from the one i have

Cool. :up:

Installed. Nice mod.

Allowing people to see who they have refferred indeed would be a great feature :)

Works on 3.6.11! Thank you.

Yeah, I've just got to get some time to really dig in and start adding to it. I'll work on it.

That's great! I'm glad there's somebody using it on that version.

I remember Boofo's mod (in grave now) that does and look the same. It had a bug of showing 1 extra referral count.

This one's good. Thanks :)

Your mod will show incorrect referral count as vbulletin also block usergroups 3 and 4 to not to be included. Change the query to this:-

[sql]$refcount = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."' AND usergroupid NOT IN (3,4)");[/sql]

LOL. I didn't think of people who hadn't gone through verification.

Danke, and updated.

Very nice, installed! :)

Installed on 3.8 seems fine so far

very nice hack. a very constructive one.
installed and clicked installed:)

Those of you who have high server loads I've modified the product so that the template edits were manual:
Find:
Add below:

Cool.

This mod conflicts with the following mod: Icons for UserCP Navbar

The screenshot you supplied shows a link to Your Referral Link in the Your Profile section of the UserCP menu.

I have installed this mod and it does not show this link...otherwise, it works fine.

You may want to take this into consideration and modify your code to allow for this.

Actually that's from a different mod. This mod doesn't add that link. That was my mini-mod in the Template Mods area.

Can you link me to the mod it conflicts with? I need to find out what they are hooking on and choose something different so they won't conflict.

That being the case...then I'd replace the screenshot with one that's actually for this particular mod.

Other than that...like I said...the mod works fine.

already installed. thanks
but when i click : your refferal for xxx (userid member)
the link, direct me to forum home..

is it true or still have errors?
thank you

You don't want to click the link, you want to use that link at other places to direct them to your site. The link carries your user ID, those people that follow it then register at your site will automatically be credited as referred by you.

Will this work for vbseo where it wont modify the url?

I don't believe that this would have any problem with vbseo which would translate the url into "vbseo-style" as the user entered, if it was one that would be changed to begin with.
