Miscellaneous Hacks - User CP Referral ID and Referrer/Referrals in Profile for vB 4

User CP Referral ID and Referrer in Profile for vB 4
Version 1.0.8
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a content box at the top of the User CP displaying a customizable referral "Message" and the member's "Referral Link" along with their referral count. This will also show who referred a user in their profile in the About Me tab, under Referrals, at the bottom. It will only show in the About Me tab if the user has been referred by someone. A Referred Members List has also been added for each member so you can see who a Member has referred. The referral count in the User CP will link directly to the Referred members List.

NOTE: If you are currently using Referrer in Profile for vB 4, you will need to uninstall that first, as this does the same thing but with the User CP Referral ID and Referred Members List added.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the referral count in the User CP.
Version 1.0.2 --Added Referred Members List for each member and a link to the list from the User CP referral count.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed the Referral Link to reflect the 'Script Name for Forum Home Page' setting in vB 4.
Version 1.0.4 --Product is now completely phrased.
Version 1.0.5 --Referred Members List is now alphabetically sorted and Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the listing.
Version 1.0.6 --Added the ability to collapse the box.
Version 1.0.7 --Moved Referrer below Join Date. The Referrals will no longer show if the user has no referrals. This is done via an automatic template edit.
Version 1.0.8 --Added User CP Referral ID Box Position setting. This will allow you to choose the location where you want the Referral ID box to show in the User CP.

NOTE: The "manual_template_edit_code.txt" is included in case the automatic template edit doesn't work for some custom skins.

Let me know if it works with the default template and we can go from there. Since I run the default skin, that is what it was written on.

It shows the referred members at the bottom of the about me like it did before, but no info box with their referral link at the top. I tried it on the default (stock) template that came with VB and also again on the one that I changed the colors on that we use right now.

Maybe there is a conflict with a current mod I have installed?

I currently have the following installed:

BBR - Google Analytics Addon
CT second_post_Ads
EveryWhere Sidebar
GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic
User CP Referral ID and Referrer in Profile
vBH - Add new tabs 1.2

Ah, that is it.

For some reason I was trying to view my profile and edit my profile and everything. Never clicked "settings" to get to the usercp. Man, you are smart Thanks for the help, sorry for being a thorn in the side of this mod. It is a great mod and makes it a lot easier for the members to refer people. If you have a donation button, I will be happy to donate some money towards the dev of new mods as I have done with others.

Thanks for the help

Not without adding a query for every post.

Thats fine. Thats not an issue for me.
I tried this as a plugin that hooks in to the posrbit_display_start:
(slightly modified from the plugin thats in vb 3.8.x

usersid = $this->post['userid'];
	$refcount = mysql_query("SELECT username FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid='$usersid'");
	$referrals = mysql_num_rows($refcount);
	$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= '<dt>Referrals</dt><dd> '.  $referrals.'</dd>';

But i soon realized that I'm in way over my head with this
