Using the 'fix' i get this error

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT user.userid AS user_id, user.email AS user_email, invitation.email AS inv_email, invitation.acceptedby as inv_id
FROM vBuser
LEFT JOIN vBinvitation
ON user.userid = invitation.acceptedby OR user.userid = invitation.email

I get this error

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

EDIT: Never mind, Christian's post helped a lot

[stickskills]

Yeah, I'm getting the same database errors as the other guys..

[gr8rcake]

I tried the fix too and got the DB error.

SELECT user.userid AS user_id, user.email AS user_email, invitation.email AS inv_email, invitation.acceptedby as inv_id
                                        FROM vb_user
                                        LEFT JOIN vb_invitation
                                        ON user.userid = invitation.acceptedby OR user.userid = invitation.email
                                        WHERE user.email = 'test@test.com'
                                        OR invitation.email = 'test@test.com';

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'user.userid' in 'field list'

I think it is triggered by this code in the XML file:

	$invitationcheck = $db->query_read("SELECT user.userid AS user_id, user.email AS user_email, invitation.email AS inv_email, invitation.acceptedby as inv_id
 										FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user
 										LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "invitation
 										ON user.userid = invitation.acceptedby OR user.userid = invitation.email
										WHERE user.email = '" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['email']) . "'
										OR invitation.email = '" . $db->escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['email']) . "'
										");

The reason why the token fix may be working with some people and not others is that the plugin hits another bug in the code later on.

I suspect the new bug is related to installing vBulletin with a prefix on your DB tables (TABLE_PREFIX).

Any other ideas? I'm only a casual programmer.

[guv]

Had the same problems as many other people, but now seems to work editing as "Christian" suggested.

So now appears to be ok.

Couple of questions.

The default settings for invites is 10. Can this be increased (without causing problems)?

Can deleting invites from a users CP that have been successfully used be disabled?

Many thanks

[Snatch]

I get this Error

Ihr Seitenaufruf konnte auf Grund eines fehlenden oder falschen Securitytokens nicht verarbeitet werden.

[chatzworld]

thanks fixed it for me had to add it to both parts

[gr8rcake]

I have given up on this and used a simple blank mailto:

<a href="mailto:?subject=Mail from Our Site&body=This is the body%0AWords on a new line%0AMore words on a new line">Invite Friends</a>

You can add new lines to the body by adding a %0A wherever in the body string you want to put a hard return.

I also created a copy of the navbar code and placed it in the "ad_navbar_below" in the "Ad location templates" and added the mailto: there

The advantages of this method include:

1. The code is unaffected by upgrades
2. The email is sent by the users own email client on their home PC where they can select people from their address book.
3. I also don't have to worry about SPAM coming from my server as the email is being sent from the user's home PC.

I really think the problem with this code is that it fails to work if you did a non default installation of vBulletin and specified a table prefix.

[DawnsWebDesigns]

I checked it out on your site. It does bring up my own email where I can add people from my address book but there's no link to your site either within the subject line or body. People will not only have to type out a message but also copy/paste our links within.

Oops! Wrong forum in my profile!

It's there. I've done it on my bikeness.com forum.

The changes I made refer to vBulletin v3.7.0
