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.

LOL Psionic Vision, it'a a damn cause I thought you were going to yell at me
wolfyman, the bug wasn't actually a bug but a silly feature. The datecuttoff only displayed referrals AND REFERRERS that koined after that date. So the referrers needed to be new members too. How silly of mine now that I think of it, lol

This hack is great, but one thing that I didn't like was how my users were being sent to register.php before they had a chance to see the site. I know if I click on a link somewhere and end up on a registration page, I'm probably going to not register.

So what I did was in the product .xml file I found this code:

<a href="register.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vboptions[bburl]/register.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]</a>

and I replaced it with this code:

<a href="index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]</a>

then saved it, reimported the product (overwrite enabled).
Hope this helps, Merry Christmas.

Not if "somewhere" is your friend's e-mail.

Yes if "somewhere" is my friend's email. I would first want to take a look at what the site was for before taking the time to "register" on another site.

Does it work? I thought it wasn't going to work this way

[wolfyman]

With the hack the way it is - if someone goes to the registration page, decides to look around, and THEN registers - does the referrer get credit?

Yeah I tested it out already. You can browse the site and when you go to register the persons referral id is there.

Yes either way it should work once the variable has been sent, or what I mean is once someone follows the link with the referral id you should be all set. I'm not a coder though so I'm not claiming to be right, lol, I believe I am though since I tested it out already.

Thanks, it's working great.

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,
