I am sorry can I get a clear answer on this?

Does this hack count referals from a user that has new members join fully?

As in a referal becomes a full member.

I see the usergroups thing but that sounds to me like only "registered members" or what ever user group you pick can be PART of this hack (race, competion what ever)

Please and thank you.

Now, what I would like is to run a referral contest - but I only want those referrals that become full members to count in the score. (this way someone cant refer 20 false people or people who just sign up and never come back)

Does this hack do that now?

Aside from tht - what does this hack do that is different then the referral system built into VB3?

Joey did you get a answer?

This part is confusing. I will wait untill some one can help me in this area.

You can limit your referral results to certain usergroups,
// by adding the following under each query after the WHERE clause's:
// AND user.usergroupid=2 -->

I just want registered referals to show. people who refered people and now they are registered. that group is 2.

thanks.

If you leave the settings at default - then only registered members will be counted that are fully registered. If you add what I specified to add if you wanted to as an option then it would only count referrals by that usergroup.

GOOD LUCK. please click install

ok. sorry but to be clear. default will have full registered people. not people waiting for email confirmation. becuase at default it shows a lot of referals. an they are not full members.

this is why I thought it would be best to ask.
Here dont take my word for it. look here and view the members for persona. They are not members yet they are waiting for email verification.

any ideas? or maybe a print out of some sort I could paste in to fix this? I know this took some time to make and I did click install. I honestly am greatefull you did it. But I would love to see it work at its full potental.

Ok, so you have it setup so when you have a new user they are considered to be in one usergroup correct?? And then when they are confirmed they are changed to another user group? If this is the case then you need to add into the script the usergroup number that i show commented out in the script. If not please let me know how you have your forum setup.

Only group that should count as a good referal is usergroup 2. Reg. users.
But with this User group 3 (users awaiting confirmation) also shows with 2.

do you mind showing me in text what you mean? Sorry and thank you.

Post up your referrals.php file and I will edit it to what you will want to use.

[T3MEDIA]

Ok well 1,3,4 are the no no groups.... they are not logged in, waiting for confirmation and COPPA.

Any one that refers a person and they are part of this list it just wouldnt count.

I really want referrals that become full members. (really any number besides the three I just stated)

[gspot]

T3media - I will have this edited for you by tomorrow night. Sorry for the delay..

[gspot]

Try this file. I have edited it, make sure that you have all your setting correct in it though. And please let me know if it works for you. This is set up to not count users in usergroups 1,3, and 4

It works! awsome. I couldnt understand the lingo but I see now what you mean.

I am very intrested in having this only accept people who refer new users and the people they refer also refers a person. (WAHHHT?)

I am giving away on my site $100 to each user that refers 5 people. the only catch is the 5 have to be full members and have to refer 5 themselves. (the last 5 dont have to be full members). of course the next set is 90% near their 100$ All they have to do is make sure their 5 also brings 5. It will start a large boost to the site.

In other words you have to bring someone that knows 5 people. (You would need to know 5 people in total like this to win the money)

I am willing to make a donation if you can do that for me.

Excellent mod here! I installed it and then setup a contest where the most referrals in a month earns them an award that goes under their avatar that I setup a basic conditional for. So far this has been very productive, thanks!

t3media - sorry man, that would require a lot more hacking for this hack... I dont have the time right now since I opened a new business.

Sorry, but thanks for installing.
