Referral ID in User CP

This simple modification will add a content box in the User CP displaying the user's "Referral Count", "Referral Link" and a "Referral Message" that can can be customized in the Phrase Manager.

For 3.5.x or higher simply install the product.


For 3.0.x follow the instructions below:

1) Modify USERCP template
Admin CP >> Style Manager >> Edit Templates >> User control Panel Templates >> USERCP

Find:

<!-- ############## SUBSCRIBED THREADS ############## -->

Above that add:

<!-- ############### REFERRALS ############### -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center"
style="background-color:white">
<thead>
<tr>
<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>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- ############# END REFERRALS ############# -->

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

Phrase Type:

Global

Varname:

refid_usercp

Text:

<p>Please help us spread the word about "{1}." When referring others to the community you can use the link below which includes your 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.</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!

I have modified the phrase and USERCP Template add in code a bit as well. The box is still collaspable, but when collapsed, it still shows the referrer link for the member.

I also made the link just text. When the link was live, it was too easy to click and activate it while trying to copy and paste it.

Could you please pm it to me, sir?

Ok, I've updated the instructions to include both the 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions.

I'll work on getting this packaged for release as a vB 3.5 product.

HI,

I messed up big time. I wasnt paying to close attention and I modified the usercp.php even though I have 3.5.x, and published the changes, then I got an error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '[' in /home/jeffsmit/public_html/forum/usercp.php(467) : eval()'d code on line 3

at the top of my usercp page on the forum.

I went back and looked over the directions and noticed I was only supposed to modify if I was using 3.0.x. So I erased the:

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

That I had previoulsy inserted. Then I republished, now I get the same error message at the top of my user cp.

This is lines: 461-474 as of right now:

// draw cp nav bar
construct_usercp_nav('usercp');

$frmjmpsel['usercp'] = 'class="fjsel" selected="selected"';
construct_forum_jump();

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('usercp_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

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

// build navbar
$navbits = construct_navbits(array('' => $vbphrase['user_control_panel']));
eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('USERCP_SHELL') . '");');

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this, I dont really even know what I am doing but I am trying to learn as I go. I goofed this time... HELP!

Thank You,

Jeff Smith

Remove this line of code from the code you provided:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('usercp_complete')) ? eval($hook) : false;

Thanks alot Resale... waiting for the release

i wish i found your forum before i quit working =) in the sales market..

I got a recommendation though

members from around the world.

maybe a enter forums link... right under that text on your index page...

I recommend some sorta forum link like enter forums or forums somewhere on your page i was a bit lost when i first entered the page because i didnt want to click one of the latest post and that didnt give me any other option other than adsense.
