Miscellaneous Hacks - Invitation / Promotional code system

Invitation / Promotional code system 1.3
First non-beta 6 feb.

UPDATE 20-march-2010 :
Mod upgraded to a working vb4, and can be found here - vb4 modifications


FIRST OFF :
This mod is made by a person with 0 php knowlegde and experience, which nodoubt will result
in many fixes. But it was also done due to the DIY* attitude aroundhere so i guess if i want
something i gotta DIM*, which i did, wasent intended for shareing but it was requested so here it is.

DIY* = Do it yourself
DIM* = Do it myself





Special Thanks goes to :

• TedS for starting me off, and positive motivation
• bananalive for ansvering support Q's in this forum
• Lynne for fast response and help with installation
• Dismounted for information and knowlegde support
• Marco van Herwaarden - Ewen though he can be a pain
  does great support and suggestions.

Nope its not,

If youre thinking sorta promotion feature,
it could be done with a mod in a similar fasion

Currently upgrading it to vb4, which means im dropping all vb3 projects
both my test server, live server and those few i admin on are now running
vb4 so i dont have the "ekstra" resources to support vb3.
