Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

I hope you enjoy
Please Click install.
Note support will not be giving if you don't.

WxP - the OpenInviter directory needs to be in your forum directory. The oi_settings.php file needs to be in your adminCP directory. Doesn't look like you have it that way. Also, make sure you use the oi_settings.php file from the openinviter/adminCP/ directory (4.19 KB).

Does anyone have an answer to my question?

Can someone please help me, I want to display the OpenInviter interface within one of the vBulletin phrases, the message which is shown to a new user just after registering. I've tried using the variable $oi_display within the phrase body but it doesn't work, the variable does not get parsed. If someone can let me know how to make this work within the phrase that would be great.

when i click invite friends it goes to the page but it dont load nothing but the header that says import your friends whats wrong?

EDIT: I got it i was adding (echo $oi_display) when i did not need the () my bad

[UltraFanatics]

When I try and run it I get this "Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing"

Any ideas?

[UltraFanatics]

Sorted that now guys!

Last question - Is it possible to add a link to the navbar and can guests use it also?

Hey BBR,

Many thanks for your fix... have it working fine now!

Just a quick question... when the contacts receive their invitation email - in the subject line it prefixes the name of the website before the subject you can edit in the AdminCP. (e.g. 'XXXX is inviting your to join microsoft.com) Can you change it (the XXXX bit) to show the inviting member's name instead of the website name? (so they know who the invite is from!)

Kindest regards,

Jason
