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.

in config.php I put "ini_set("display_errors", true);" and now instead of a whitepage I get this:

Warning: file_put_contents([path]/acp/../OpenInviter/config.php) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/acp/oi_settings.php on line 89

in the AdminCP, and when I go to my site, I get..

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in /home/explosive/public_html/forum/OpenInviter/frontend.php on line 201

:/

Any help on what could cause that?

        "message_body"=>"You are invited to blah.com!  Please use the following link to visit the site: $url", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
        "message_subject"=>" is inviting you to www.blah.com", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
        "transport"=>"curl", //Replace "curl" with "wget" if you would like to use wget instead
        "local_debug"=>"on_error", //Available options: on_error => log only requests containing errors; always => log all requests; false => don`t log anything
        "remote_debug"=>FALSE //When set to TRUE OpenInviter sends debug information to our servers. Set it to FALSE to disable this feature
    );
    ?>

In the invite email it will show:


but 'userid' is not getting passed

Awesome mod BTW, even with the openinvitaion quarks and issues.

I forgot all about this thread! I ment to update it a while ago. Checked and it appears that no one has posted the solution to including the referral ID in the URL so here's how I got them to work.

Almost the same as above but a little subtle change.

In OpenInviter/config.php

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once('/home/dir/to/my/site/forum/global.php');
$ref_id = $vbulletin->userinfo[userid];
$ref_url = "http://www.mysitename.com/index.php?referrerid=" . $ref_id;
     $openinviter_settings=array(
          'username'=>'myusername', 
          'private_key'=>'1111111111111111111111111111111111', 
          'filter_emails'=>'', 
          'transport'=>'curl', 
          'local_debug'=>'on_error', 
          'remote_debug'=>'', 
          'message_subject'=>' is inviting you to www.mysite.com', 
          "message_body"=>"You are invited to MySiteName!  Please use the following link to visit the site:

          $ref_url", 
          'cookie_path'=>'/mytempdir'
     );

The only real change is that I had to pass userinfo[userid] to $ref_id and then insert $ref_id as the id to be used in the URL. It didn't like being inserted straight into the URL. ALso, note the message_body and text are in double quotes ". It did not work with single quotes there. Other than that, change all the appropriate info to your site and it should work just fine.

Hint: if you change the config.php file and upload to your site, then go into the OpenInviter settings in adminCP (or refresh the page), it should show the proper URL with YOUR userid. That's how you know it works

doesn't sound related to this mod at all. Sounds more like it would be related to some sort of advertising mod perhaps???
