This looks good. Personal all I did was create a box in the UserCP that just shows the members referral id.
I don't have a test site, I don't even have a internet connection at home. This is like you said Boofo. All for fun because I"m learning.

That's how you start learning.

This hack is from my 3.5.4 days updated to work with 3.7, which really didn't take anything to do, other than a new version number. It does show you how many referrals they have, too. And does the automatic template edit, but other than that, what you have it probably pretty close to the same thing.

[Preech]

No, it just shows in the usercp navigation that individual's own referral link. Maybe I will download this to add how many referrals they have.

[Boofo]

Good idea!

Thanks for the 3.7 release!

boofo... I have 2 ref boxes in user cp (instead of one).

--------- never mind ------------
didnt uninstall old one.

[Boofo]

Don't forget the install button.

[txsbmw]

Hey Boofo, I have your old one installed. Should I uninstall that one before or just overwrite it?

[Boofo]

Only after you click the install button, and then yes.
