Refer Friend

For some reason, there is no "Refer a Friend" form standard in vB3.

This is a simple "Refer a Friend" form based on sendmessage.php.

All you need is to edit 1 PHP file - sendmessage.php, and add 1 template.

Instructions are in the HTML zipped below.

Below is a screenshot, as requested.

weird....after installing and then following the link, I get this:

Green, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Hi Eirwin,
This is a good hack to encourage users to get more members in the forums.

However my issue is as follows:-

my forums are installed in /fourms directory and I am using Portal (CMPS) software.

the link "sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1" does not work for my portal homepage.

What can I do so that the URL "sendmessage.php?do=sendtofriend&refer=1" works from /forums dir. as well as from outside.

PLUS

Is there a way to disable "Refer Friends" for guest users??

thanks for u help in advnace.

Edit the templates to change the URL.

Don't you want guests to refer their friends?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
