Miscellaneous Hacks - UserCP Referral ID and Count

While supporting my mini-mod I came across a more in depth version of what I was trying to do. Once I saw it I had to add it to my site. Since I couldn't find it here, I created something of my own.

This hack will add a collapsible box in your UserCP with a message informing the user what the referral ID is, what it is for, and how to use it. The message can be, of course, rewritten in your phrases to fit your own site and users.

To install, simply install the product below in Manage Products, then of course you should click installed. :up:

Update: Sorry, re-uploaded the xml. I had set the wrong product dependency on the xml. I have removed it. It works again.

(first Code jitters I guess... )

Version 1.0.2:
Added a bit of code so that it will remember if you collapse it, or expand it and keep that formation so that you don't have to collapse it each time you go into the UserCP.

Version 1.0.3:
Corrected the query string so that it would not count users that had not been verified or passed through moderation. (user group 3 and 4 are not included in the referral counts now).

re-uploaded 1.0.3, minor change on version listed in the mod.

To upgrade install normally, set "Allow Overwrite" to 'yes'.

I haven't upgraded yet... I'll figure out how to upgrade it once I get there. But I am waiting for some other mods that I'll need... Maybe I'll set it up on my 'puter at home and figure it out early as this is one of the mods I'm going to need when I upgrade anyway. I'll see what I can do.

This thing totally hosed my forum styles and buttons :down:

I have lost all of my admincp Images, So there is no drop down buttons or arrows. I have to expand all.

This was not until I installed this mod. After I uninstalled it it did not change/

I have tried updating all of the image paths to no avail

Help would be appreciated

*************************
WELL FREAKING BIZARRE - WEIRD -SPOOKY OR WHAT?

For some off reason, Firefox 3.6, just decided to block all images from my site only
How that happened I have no clue at all. Glad to report it WAS NOT THIS MAD

I found the probelme after I logged into Admin CP in IE (EEEuuuuuuu Yukkie DOO DOO)

I then went back to Firefox, put the URL of a Smiley as well as an AdminCP collaps icon and noticed a little line in the Menu box that said

BLOCK ALL IMAGES FROM NorCalCanyonCarvers

So I unblocked it and all is very well indeedy Do

BTW NICE HACK

So after all that, what is your verdict on this Add-on?

Me too!

Should I be using this on my VB 4 forums?

I think it would depend on what the url for your home page is. It uses the link generated by vbulletin that points them to index.php...

In you user_cp templates it creates a new template, in that template you would need to find the line below...

6="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]

And change the "index.php" portion to refer to your index.

So, if I'm using the vBadvanced as my index/homepage , then I need to do this?

When someone clicks on the referral link, should they be taken to the registration page or will the referral ID 'follow' them when they find the register page?

EDITED: Just tested it and it does 'follow' you without having to do the edit. So, the referrer is already added in the appropriate field when registering. :up:

Also, edited the text by going to Languages & Phrases >> Search in Phrases >> type refid_usercp in the Search for Text field >> Click radio button for Phrase Text and Phrase Variable Name >> Find

Thanks for the easy and great mod!

Works with both 3.7x and 3.8x :up:

Is it possible to directly link to this in the USER CP like you can for privage messages or thread subscriptions?
