Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

I hope you enjoy
Please Click install.
Note support will not be giving if you don't.

im getting the error too

In my instructions I said replace all of them. So yes both of them need to be replaced.
If the owner of that site would ever email me back I am going to try and make this the official vBulletin release for here and the site. You can tell he rushed through the vbulletin side of things. It never worked out the box.

I had to implant my own CSRF security token stuff my self in the above file.

That gave me an ugly error!

Warning: require_once(/public_html/community/global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/OpenInviter/frontend.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/public_html/community/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/nascartr/public_html/community/OpenInviter/frontend.php on line 2

This is what my 2nd line was like.

require_once('/public_html/community/global.php');

The link is put in the Quick links tab. Says Invite Friends.

That used to only show when on index.php I had to fix that too.

All set now?

[nascartr]

After sending the invites I had a blank image with an X. Mails sent successfully


Supposedly it leads to http://diecastcrazy.com/images/oks.gif but I do not have any image files, should they have been included with the OpenInviter package?

[BBR-APBT]

Yet another thing they have forgot oven at OpenInviter. Yes that should of came with the OpenInviter Package. I will make a x and a checkmark image here in a few minutes.

[nascartr]

Thanks!

Ok here are the missing images. I made them my self they are not the ones that came with OpenInviter. Feel free to make your own. Be sure to edit frontend.php to link to the new images.

Remember every one I said its in its beta stage. I am compiling all these post to make some new install instruction instructions.
Hopefully they email me back so I can include the frontend.php with this as it will hopefully be the official release. All the errors every one is getting is from OpenInviter code not mine. But hey at least I fixed it for every one here.
