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.

It's the same timeout as the contact us flood timeout - adjust it in your Admin CP. (I think).

thanks for this awesome hack erwin!! *install*

Thanks alot, I wouldn't have thought that they would use that. I changed it. Now you don't have to wait as long. What could make it even better is where they could send out up to a certain amount. This is the reason why I lowered the amount of time. Like 5 to 10 refer a friend emails at a time. Would that be easy to do?

Erwin how can I do this so it sends a template? I am trying to relase a add on to your hack but I need your help. What I want to do is put the email message in a predefined template called invite

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.

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
