Sggestion: Invite Hack

Text taken form the hack forum... which i cannot ven get a reply from


"Hey guys was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create a invite hack... i added a screen of what it could/shoud look like... and would it be possible for the code that you are given is just randomly genereated... and they have to add that code to register... or login... so before they can register they must place this given code into the system and the code is then deleted after they do so ... or have it so it auto creates account and they have to change password

Maybe add a email function too so the board can send a email to the user giving them all the info such as board link, httaccess stuff, and ect if your board has it...

Well any help would be awesome...

and yes i know Y2B... has created this hack but he told me he wont release it to the public... "

So what do the people over here think.. since no one seems to care over in hacks section???

Image of what it could look like... (taken from y2b's version)

Well what i wnat the invite hack for is so our members can invite people they know... if it was just to keep the board private i would just add the members myself... but thanks for the suggestion your the only one that seems to even want to help someone

You can close vBulletin to guests. You can then make it so the new members can't register but have to be invited. To invite them, just create a new user account for them and click on [send activation email] to invite them.


Change the email template for the activation to say something like:
"You are invited to join xxxx systems. Click here to activate your account".

They will click and get full access to the system. Very easy, very complete and very neat. No hacks required.
