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!




*A special thanks to Noppid for helping out and getting the referral counts to appear in the UserCP for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions.

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

Not sure, but as long as it is working now, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

OK I manually installed this on my V 3.5.4 and actually changed the phrase so the link for the referral would not be a link any more but instead just text making it easier to copy and paste.

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.

That is not part of the mod. That was added separate.

With my forum I have installed the "refer friend" mod by Irwin: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=59708. That is the final destination of the link you see in the screenshot.

But you're still running 3.0, right? I don't think that has been updated for 3.5 yet. I can always add it if it gets updated. Just let me know when, sir.

Yes, that forum is still running the 3.0.x version. Yes, let's stay in touch.

Does anyone know if this mod works on 3.5.4?

Thank you

Yes, this mod works with 3.5.4.

How come there's a product for this, but in the instructions there's no mention of it...just a plugin?

I added the code to usercp, added the phrase and then imported the product and got a strange result - the usercp now shows 2 versions of the whole mod, but the first has messed up links! Any ideas anyone?
