vB REFERRER 1.0

This modification is made for vBulletin 3.5 RC2, but probably also works for RC3.

Very simple to install.

===========================
DEMO BOARD
===========================

You can see a demo at:
http://www.forumfreedom.net/forum


===========================
DESCRIPTION
===========================

This will add a link to the UserCP that tells every user what his/her reffering link is so that they can invite friends. Later version will include ability to send the e-mail from the forum itself. This hack is very simple.


===========================
INSTALL
===========================

Time: Less than a minute
Difficulty: Easy

===========================

Let me know what you think. It's nothing advanced, just thought it could come in handy for some people.

PLEASE CLICK INSTALL!

UPDATE: NO LONGER TAKES ANY FILE EDITS!

The text file still has this in it:

ADD BELOW (MAKE SURE YOU EDIT http://www.yourforum.com/forum to your URL where the forum is located!!!):

It might confuse some newer users since you changed it to the vboptions.

Ive updated your code so it includes html code, so people can add to there sites and also updated code so $vboptions[bburl] is in there insted of manual edit of the domain name. Added send to a friend, add a new thread to your forums like a welcome thread to sign up and features of the forums etc and then replace t=2844 to what the thread ID is.

very nice,
will hope for some email options in the newer version

[DrHUS]

email options is a good idea

[gldtn]

[high]* gldtn clicks install
[/high]

Any ideas of when new versions will be coming out? Also if it's not too much to ask I would like to post a suggestion.. To allow people to register on forum only if they are reffered by a user with this hack.

Thanks

This is the code if you have a thread that has introductions instead of a post, used ukbills post,

Send to a freind didnt work so i remvoed it fromt his.

Also i went ahead and put these under the subscribedthreads list, i dont want people to see this first , as soon as they enter the forums id rather them see the subscribed stuff.

[o1dirtydog]

works like a charm... installed.

[NxTek]

Later version will include ability to send the e-mail from the forum itself.

This is supported now?

[trackpads]

Works great! thanks!!!

[KBowers]

Just wondering if this would work in version 3.5.1?

Thanks!
