<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral')"><img id="collapseimg_referral" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[referrals]: <span class="normal">($referrals)</span>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral" style="">
<tr>
<td class="page" align="left" width="100%">
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&amp;userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 3="$vbphrase[profile]" 4="$bbuserinfo[username]" 5="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]</phrase>

</table>
<br />
<!-- ############# END REFERRALS ############# -->

2) Add the Required Phrase
Admin CP >> Language & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase

<p>Each time someone follows this link to {1} and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one.</p>
<p>Please be courteous when promoting {1} by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.</p>
<fieldset id="referrallink"><legend>Referral Link for {4}&nbsp;</legend><a href="{5}">{5}</a></fieldset>

3) Modify usercp.php file [VB versions 3.0.x]

Open usercp.php and Find:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('USERCP') . '";');

Above that add:

// REFERRALS 
$refcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$bbuserinfo['userid']."'"); 
$referrals = vb_number_format($refcount['count']);

4) That's it! You're Done!

*A special thanks to Boofo for packaging this product for 3.5.x

My question is.... I saw int he screen shot something that was a link to automatically email to a friend but it is not showing up in my User CP.

Can someone provide instructions on how the "automatic email" feature was added separately, and what it does? Is it a separate modification that needs to be installed?

Here's what I did, maybe it's the same as what others have done. Obviously, it will only work if the user has their email client setup correctly. I made my $vbphrase[refid_usercp]:

<p>Please help us spread the word about "{1}." When referring others to the community you can use the link below which includes your own unique referral ID.
</p> 
<p>Each time someone follows this link to {1} and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The total number of referrals you currently have can always be viewed at the top of this box (next to {1} {2}) as well as in your <a href="{3}">{4}</a>.
</p>
<p>Please be courteous when promoting {1} by not spamming other web sites and/or email addresses with your referral link just to gain referrals.

<fieldset id="referrallink"><legend>Referral Link for {5}&nbsp;</legend><a href="mailto:?subject=Join us on VFRworld!&body=I would like to invite you to join us on VFRworld, the premier website for everything about the Honda VF/VFR Interceptor!%0d%0a%0d%0a{6}"{6}>{6}</a></fieldset>

Thanks.

Hello Volarium,
The "Email to Friend" link is not part of this mod. That is an additional mod that was installed on that forum at the time of the screenshot.

If the "Email to Friend" mod is available for the version of vBulletin that you're running you could add the link information to your UserCP template by either hand coding or building a plug-in.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /****/local/home/*****/******/forum/usercp.php on line 613

ummmm?

[daddygrim]

$refcount = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']."'"); this the line from what i see.

this is my code remember i'm now using 3.6.5

// REFERRALS
$refcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$bbuserinfo['userid']."'");
$referrals = vb_number_format($refcount['count']);

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('USERCP') . '";');
