Latest Referral On Forum Home (Digg Like) · **Released**: 08-19-2007

(My First Add-on!

)

This add-on displays the latest referral on the Forum Home below the navbar just like on Digg.

UPDATE

(I was so excited to release my first add-on that I didn't pay attention to some finer details!)

The latest referral will not be shown to Unregistered Users/Guests and Banned Users.

Fixed a bug. (If there are no referrals yet on your forum, there was some problem earlier.) (Thanks danward for the hint.)

Only the template edit is updated. Its not required to add the plugin again.

Installation Instructions

Download and extract the attached zip file.

Import the plugin_latestreferral.xml file as a plugin.

See the readme.txt file or the below section for instructions to edit the FORUMHOME template.

Template Edits

In the FORUMHOME template, FIND:

Code:

$navbar

BELOW, ADD:

Code:

<if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1, 8) && $last_referrer[userid]">
<center>
$vboptions[bbtitle] user <a href="member.php?u=$last_referrer[userid]">$last_referrer[username]</a> just invited <a href="member.php?u=$last_referred_userid">$last_referred_username</a> to join $vboptions[bbtitle]
</center>
<br />
</if>

Uninstalling Instructions

1) In the ACP, in plugin manager, just uncheck the "Active" option against the "Latest Referral On Forum Home" and click on "Save Active Status"

2) Open the FORUMHOME template and remove the code you added earlier.

<table class="tborder" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="3%" align="left"><img src="images/misc/latest-referral.png" /></td>
	<td align="left">$vboptions[bbtitle] user <a href="/forum/member.php?u=$last_referrer[userid]">$last_referrer[username]</a> just invited <a href="/forum/member.php?u=$last_referred_userid">$last_referred_username</a> to join $vboptions[bbtitle]!</td>

Anyone got this working on 3.7.0b3?

Mine won't work..

It's the <if condition="!is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1, 8) && $last_referrer[userid]"> that it doesn't like.. where is that variable coming from? It's empty now.

This worked fine on 3.8X until my host upgraded php and mysql, and now with it enabled I get this message:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1455) : eval()'d code on line 5
