AWCoding- Mentor
Version 1.0.0
Release Date: 16th September 2010
Software Provided and coded by AWCoding

What Software Is:
It auto assigns a mentor unless they entered a correct referrer at registration then that person becomes there mentor. The software has an on and off feature for PMing the mentor about his new mentee as well as auto adding the two (mentor and mentee) as friends. You can select what usergroups are able to mentor and from these groups it selects a random person per new user registered to mentor. The software is used more or less as a help and go to person for new users to go to for help and questions. Makes things more personable and a point of contact for users. This will reduce heavy traffic to the owner/admins and spread help through the other groups (moderators and supermods). You can even create your own Mentor group and select from that group. You can also edit the mentor of a user by editing the user in adminCP. There is an option to show the mentee in userCP who there mentor is and a link to their profile.

Is there a difference in the german and english versions? I want to make this work so a secondary usergroup will be the mentor group with the english version 3.8.6 and 3.8.0

After the AddOn-Installation you will find a "PlugIn" named "AWC-Welcome PM".
You can edit the PHP-Code:

Change

PHP Code:

WHERE usergroupid IN (".$this->registry->options['awcm_usergroups'].") 


INTO something like that:

PHP Code:

WHERE FIND_IN_SET('X', membergroupids) 


(replace X with the variable or insert the secondary groupid manually)

see: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...on_find-in-set

membergroupids is the stringlist

Got it working. Thanks

Can there be a way to rotate through the mentor usergroup rather than being random?

[Jay106n]

With this installed anybody who refers a person to the forum is automatically their mentor.Is there a way to stop a non-mentor user from receiving the notification if they directly refer somebody to the forum? I don't want my non-mentor users to become a mentor just because they referred somebody.

Thanks for helping eachother. I will have an update as soon as I can get to it huge work load right now with tons of software.
