I just had a few feature requests.

1. Limit the number of times a code can be used.
2. Key generator, with the option to set a prefix.
3. Key expiration dates

Thank you.

agree on all of the above, but would MOST like to be able to set the group as an additional usergroup, not set it as the primary group. The issue is that this code allows a user to bypass the normal email verification check.

I was VERY excited to use this mod as my forum is Clan based and we were looking for an invite system. Unfortunately, this mod does not work for me. As soon as the mod is activated I get an internal server error as seen here:

Once I disable the mod, everything returns to normal. Suggestions? I would really like to use this mod

Sounds interesting enough yes!
I was looking for a system like this since my forum is totally private and i want only new members from an invitation only!

Will give it a try
tks

Thanks! This is something I have been looking for. This is on my testserver now, and will be "live" soon, I think.

But i havent released it, using it on another site, but need to make it work with phrases.

Just didnt think there was a need for it, so havent released it publick.

Interested! Will this be released?

Thanks for the plugin!

I like this idea, but is it possible to make one that will allow Registered users to add the coupon and make it where it can add a Additional Usergroup instead of Primary?

WOW!... this is really an old thread and mod. It has such great potential. I am very surprised someone hasn't contacted the coder to see if they could modify it.

Installed... :up:

This seems to work just fine for me on vB 4.2.2
