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.

Love this mod, it should be part of VB by default. I was wondering if it would be possible to somehow intergrate this to the promotion system? After X ammount of referralls a user is upgraded to VIP for example.

If not no probs, still a great mod IMHO, I've been using it a while, but just had a promotion idea for my site and wondered if it was possible.

Rated by me.

Thanks, great mod. How can I make it so that I can implement banners into this as well?

Can someone please tell me exactly where to find the additional.css template? I have looked in the admin panel in the Styles & Templates but can't seem to find it.

So if someone can please tell me exactly where it is. That would be great.

Thanks.

It is listed under CSS Templates in the templates area of the style manager.

Hi and thanks for getting back to me.

Is this additional.css that needs to be edited listed under the Main CSS in the style manger of the template you are using or want to use this mod with?

If so then at the top of this section it says:

"This CSS file is obsolete and is available here for reference purposes only."

So does this mean that any code placed in this section won't work or make a difference to anything?

Running v4.0.3

Thanks.

[Boofo]

You're in the wrong area. It is the same place you edit other templates like forumhome.

Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Template Options -> Edit Templates

[CybaGirl]

Ok thanks. I originally looked in that section but was looking for additional.css I didnt realise it was hidden in the"CSS Templates" section.

Still learning how to edit things on VB so I don't know where everything is.

For anyone else who has trouble finding the additional.css file. It can be found by doing this.

Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Template Options -> Edit Templates -> CSS Templates -> additional.css

[Boofo]

No problem. Glad you got everything sorted out.

I figured out how to add the banners after all.
