Notice: The current hack attached in the right will cut both referrals AND referrers that have registered before the cut-off date. Most people seem to only want it to cut the referrals so, if you too want that, you can replace the referrers.php in the zip with the one attached here.

Question! Right now I only have one person with a referral from when i started the contest.

How does it choose the other member names with no referrals to be displayed on that page?

It also shows 23 members total, (1 with the 1 referral and 22 with 0 referrals) why 23? and can I change that?

Thanks,

Ahhh I should add a check...

Installed easy, works great, thanks!

I have a few questions:

Is there a way I can place up the welcome message a the top of every logged in members page so they can refer members etc like in the screenshot? (Or something similar)

Is there a way I can totally reset refereals so everybody has 0? For if I started a competition and I wanted everybody to start off fairly.

And lastly...

Is there a way I could add a link in the members control panel, where they go to enter their profile, before edit signature there could be (in bold) - Referrer Statistics linking to the referrer page?

Thanks!

Add it in the navbar template and it will show in every page with a navbar. You will need some basic HTML skills to do that but it shouldn't be very difficult. However if I was a member I would be quite annoyed by this, even if I kept it collapsed...

Set a cut off date in the hack's settings. By default it will display only members (including the referrerrs!) who have registered after that date. If you want the cutoff to only affect only referrals then replace your referrers.php with the one posted in this thread by me. However there is a known bug with that which currently I don't have time to fix but I will try to fix it shortly: If a member has referrals but none of them after that date he will show with 0 referrals.

Sure, just find the template USERCP_SHELL and add the appropriate line in the navigation

Thanks for the great hack, BUT when I exclude any usergroup from (Excluded Usergroups Option) it also exclude it from referral count

I do not want to exclude any usergroup from referral count, But I need to exclude some banned users and some other groups from referrers list.

I also noticed that the referrers page take 5 to 10 second to (load) open !! it's because I have more than 200,000 registered members in my forum ? If yes, is there any way to make it open faster like if we say show only top 100 members with referrers? Or show members who have 5 referrers and more?

Last note, I have seen some users with zero referrals result !!! I think all users with zero referrals result should not be shown.

Thanks again

Has anyone tested this mod with vBulletin 3.5.3? I've just installed it, and it appears to work properly, except that when I view referrers.php, I cannot move beyond page one!

Check it out: http://www.bigblueball.com/forums/referrers.php?page=3 (actually takes you to page one, and nothing you do will take you to another page. Any suggestions?
