Miscellaneous Hacks - User CP Referral ID and Referrer/Referrals in Profile for vB 4

User CP Referral ID and Referrer in Profile for vB 4
Version 1.0.8
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a content box at the top of the User CP displaying a customizable referral "Message" and the member's "Referral Link" along with their referral count. This will also show who referred a user in their profile in the About Me tab, under Referrals, at the bottom. It will only show in the About Me tab if the user has been referred by someone. A Referred Members List has also been added for each member so you can see who a Member has referred. The referral count in the User CP will link directly to the Referred members List.

NOTE: If you are currently using Referrer in Profile for vB 4, you will need to uninstall that first, as this does the same thing but with the User CP Referral ID and Referred Members List added.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the referral count in the User CP.
Version 1.0.2 --Added Referred Members List for each member and a link to the list from the User CP referral count.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed the Referral Link to reflect the 'Script Name for Forum Home Page' setting in vB 4.
Version 1.0.4 --Product is now completely phrased.
Version 1.0.5 --Referred Members List is now alphabetically sorted and Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the listing.
Version 1.0.6 --Added the ability to collapse the box.
Version 1.0.7 --Moved Referrer below Join Date. The Referrals will no longer show if the user has no referrals. This is done via an automatic template edit.
Version 1.0.8 --Added User CP Referral ID Box Position setting. This will allow you to choose the location where you want the Referral ID box to show in the User CP.

NOTE: The "manual_template_edit_code.txt" is included in case the automatic template edit doesn't work for some custom skins.

How do I customize the message?

[Boofo]

By editing the phrases.

Hey, thank you very much. I used code to make infractions and reputation also collapseable.

Now it's much better, users can collapse referral information.

Thank you again...

Don't release that code anywhere. It's the same code I use for my Random Quotes box on the forumhome.

Bless you. I like collapsible, and I don't like hacking the hacks.

It was actually easier to do than I had originally thought. I just used my code from the Random Quotes that I forgot I already had done.

I personally think the collapse part of this is a waste of time for a mod like this as it being open reminds people to refer others to the site. But... apparently I am alone in that belief.

Well, I understand your point of view, but I think that if we provide more options to users, especially ones that enable them more comfort, they might do and help our forums and spread the word. By forcing them to use something they just get irritated.

Also, a lot of users don't even notice collapse button, i.e. they don't use it. Sadly, they don't use referral link too.

On the part that the code is much simpler to apply, you're right. I tried to achieve collapsing of infractions, some users asked for that, they don't want to be reminded of their past, especially bad past and I couldn't till I saw your code. Thank you once more.

Hello, I have VB 4.0.3 and I need to upgrade to 4.1.3.

I am running User CP Referral ID and Referrer in Profile 1.0.5. I would like to upgrade to 1.0.7. Will it work on VB 4.1.3?

Should I upgrade it to 1.0.7 now or when I have VB 4.1.3?
Will I loose any settings/data during the upgrade? Will the referral data be still there?

Check your settings before you upgrade, but you should be OK.
