STATISTICS

Template Changes: 4
Products to Install: 1

FEATURES

Configuration Options:

The system can be turned on and off.
Registration can be set to either require invite code to sign up or to continue allowing regular registrations when the system is on.
Invite Expiration Period.
Minimal Posts Required to Receive Changes in Number of Invites.
Minimal Reputation Required to Receive Changes in Number of Invites.
Number of Posts Required to Get One (1) Invite.
Number of Invites Received or Subtracted per Reputation (+ for positive, - for negative).
Initial Number of Invites Given on Registration (Sign Up).
Usergroups that May Not Use Invite Manager.
Usergroups that May Use Invite Manager (Optional Override).
Initial Registration Usergroup (only pertaining to registration by invites).
Do or Do Not make users linked by an invite mutual buddies after the completion of registration of the person invited.
Single / Multiple Address Line Field.
If Multiple, Number of Fields to Show.

Miscellaneous Features:

Upon invite-based registration, the person who issued the invite is set up as a referrer of the person invited. Therefore, free specification of a referrer is restricted during such registration.
Image (GD) Verification.
Administrator can manually edit any user's invite count.
If a user is permitted to issue invites (based on both the number of unused invites and the system permissions), that user has a link to invites of usercp home (says "Click here to invite new users!"). When a user has no invites left, the link does not show up. Nevertheless, as long as system permissions allow access to the Invite Manager, the usercp navlink continues to show up, so that the user would have access to his/her invite history, which is available just below the "Issue New Invite" form.
If registration is set to require invite code to sign up, the navbar register link becomes hidden.
If registration is set to continue allowing non-invited sign ups, the number of invites available to any single user is unlimited. Therefore, the number of invites left does not show up.
Invite History in UserCP, on the bottom of the invite manager.
Single-Line AddressField, with Unlimited # Of Simultaneous Recipients, within the bounds of invite tokens.
Multiple-Line AddressField, with Limited Configurable # Of Simultaneous Recipients, within the bounds of invite tokens.
Unregistered Users, Banned Users and Users with No Forumview Permissions cannot use invite manager. Therefore, you do not have to specify those usergroups in the list of usergroups that may not use the invite manager.
Invite counts are automatically updated once a week, based on the admincp-configured settings.
Per-user invite usage restriction.
Inactive users, who do not post anything new, will gradually lose all of their invites.

Nice hack. I would like to install it on my board. Problem is I have latest vb 3.5.4 and the hack says it is for 3.5.0. Do you think that could be a problem ?

Thanks.
JC.

Unless stated otherwise, a 3.5.X hack is compatible with all 3.5.X versions of vBulletin.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
