Invitation for Registration

Currently I disabled registration in my boards but my members are asking if there can a mod for inviting new members. Also I am thinking this I want my members to be able to invite members my sending e-mail to them. Is there a way to make an invitation mod. I still want to keep registration disabled but if someone is invited by a member then he will be able to register.

same as any Invite System, simple to have. you need a url that activate the permission to register... like register.php?invite=yes?referrerid=XX

so when people visit the register.php, instead of simply hitting the vboptions to activate registration, they activate it by this simple url.

SOOO SIMPLE!

EDIT: here is the code:

in register.php FIND:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (empty($_REQUEST['do']) AND empty($_REQUEST['a']))

just BEFORE, add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if($_REQUEST['invite'] == 'yes') $vboptions['allowregistration'] = 1;

now, you simply have to create an invite url like this:

Code:

register.php?invite=yes?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]

that's all...

you can also join with this hack: Refer Friend from Erwin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59708 and simply change the URL in the message to the one i just gave here!

Just my opinion here..

A url like this

Quote:

can easily be made by any 1...

Quote:

The above url will work and will most prob be invited by admin himself:D (or who so ever has id =1)

So basically any random no. between 1 and total members of board will work.

Just my opinion :p:

So basically u need to have another table named invitee with fields ( random number(unique), timestamp)

When u generate invite url, add new row in the table and your invite url will be register.php?invite=random number

In register.php make a query to see if tht random number exists. If it does allow else kick him away:D

Do remeber to clear the row once used.
Also add to cron to clear rows in invite table with timestamp older than 1 day or whtever

Couldn't this be bypassed/abused pretty easily? They can just enter 1 or look at your site and pick a user out. If you are serious about it you should prevent them from seeing your board.

Even if you prevent them from seeing your board, a userid between 1-20 is bound to exist(99.99% :D)

I was using this hack here... and wanted to use a HTML template. I was asking Erwin but I never got a response so I dropped the idea.

Maybe nexialys or TheSpecialist could help out on that. Its done. I have even uploaded a template. This would boost users going to your forum in seconds.
Who ever wants the HTML for the example I posted is welcome to take the HTML code.

This url is not working.

Code:

register.php?invite=yes?referrerid=1

when i invite someone with this link then it still gives me administration disabled registration.

There is a "Refer your Friends" hack (I am not sure of its exact name). I think it would be a wise idea to make a mod to that hack instead of making a new one.

I'm very much interested in that, but I'm not into php and html or sql... :(
so can someone well versed with those can implement spoolers suggestions pls..
and also is it possible to give this invite facility to only few usergroups?!

Same here. Is there any way I can fix this? I've searched the whole board as well as any other vBulletin help site I know of and everyone kept linking me back to this thread. :confused:

I think the idea is dead. Hi5 lets you upload your phone book.
check it out.

Not sure if you have to be a member to see it.

Not sure if anyone wants to take that one on.
