Refer Friend · **Released**: 01-04-2004

Refer Friend

For some reason, there is no "Refer a Friend" form standard in vB3.

This is a simple "Refer a Friend" form based on sendmessage.php.

All you need is to edit 1 PHP file - sendmessage.php, and add 1 template.

Instructions are in the HTML zipped below.

Below is a screenshot, as requested.

This mod is excellent---- Perfect for every site out there.

I do have a problem - when users are unregistered, they have the ability to type in a name other that (unregistered)

Even if a name is typed in, in the email I still get this

This is a message from Unregistered ( mailto: )

&

From,
Unregistered

any thoughts?

I wouldn't recommend this form be open to unregistered users. Not sure why that's case, I thought I made it so taht the name is customized.

I can't seem to figure out what the problem is? I got everything installed and it seems to work perfect but then I never get the e-mail??
I'm not sure what could be wrong?

VERY nice hack BTW very easy instructions

i tested the script its cool and everything its really appriciated, how do you edit the footer of the email, "forum takes no responsibility for messages sent through its system."

it would be cool to add mulitple refeers on the same page ? would it work if i duplicate the top two columns ? it would be good to limit the amount of characters a user would send, i think 500would be enough plus a count down box its just an idea though i think it could work well, and a log file to keep track of who's using it. I dont really want to get into detail but yeh ... you can easily get people spamming it. i've put it in an if tag so only the members can access it, since it has requirements such as user ID etc.

To install simply replace the entire contents of your refertofriend template with the contents of the file in the zip (zipped so that nothing get's parsed).

Yup, it definetly looks more vb3ish lol

thanks Oblivion and thanks Erwin

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
