 there is no table name sandeep_f1nalDbaS3.user but a table named sandeep_f1nalDbaS3.vb3_user exisits, i assume you still need to tweak the file a lil for me :(

No, there shouldnt be any more editing needed to the files. - Your post number 125 up above shows that you were gettting the following database error: Table 'sanp_faS3.user' doesn't exist
Now when I visit your website I see the following error:
sandeep_f1nalDbaS3.user No table exists

So the only thing I can think of is that you dont have the table prefix being integrated correctly on your site... You can try adding (FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "vb3_referrals) - the (vb3_) into the each query being executed in the configuration file of my script that you posted in #127 above. That should do the trick, but make sure you add (vb3_) to every table like i showed you in the above example.

Let me know - good luck

OK question, this is perfect for what I want to do with competitions and such. I also have am using the Store Hack.

I want to create a easy way for member to refer. How do I create "buttons" for the members to put on their sites etc so when they click on the button, get referred to my site, register, that the referrer gets credit automatically without having the person that is registering enter the referrerrrrrr's name?

Get that sorted and I click install

gspot last request, i have tried my best to make this nice addon work for me, but alas , can you make a different file for me which will have the prefix vb3_ added for all tables ?

This file has been modified only for "san-deeps" configuration. Please do not use this file unless you are this user listed above.

LET ME KNOW...

* You still need to edit the path to your vbulletin directory, and you need to make sure the path to your global.php file is correct. If you get any error messages, please post them or send them to me via. vbulletin instant messenger.
