how and where do i set the file path? Sorry, im not too good with hacks. Can you explain it to me?

[gspot]

css59 - If you login to your admincp then under the navigation on the left find section called users - under that you should see "referrral statistics" click on that and then click on configure referral statistics in here is were you set the file path. I have explained this in 2 -3 posts earlier.

ok, on top of having all of the phrasing issues, i'm getting an internal server error when clicking the link to referrals.php

Premature end of script headers: /home/msnow/public_html/forums/referrals.php

note i uninstalled and reinstalled, and also tried the fixit.php and still have no phrases in the admincp panel for referral stats, and the internal server error

Hmm...I have it working just fine. You DID remember to enter the path to your forum in the admin CP, right?

I'll see if I can help with it, moeballs.

You All Need To Enter The Path To Your Forum In The Admincp:
Under Users: Click On Referral Statistics
Then Click On: Configure Referral Statistics
--------------------------------------------------
All Of This Is In The Instructions If You Follow Them
--------------------------------------------------

ok, i got it workin, sorta. i still can't get the admincp phrasing to work, but the script itself does at least

paulz - can you please post a picture of the problem your facing in the admincp. I might be able to help you.. I'm going to change the installation instructions to make them a little more clearer for people. Sorry.

Yeah, it least I believe I have it right. (hard to tell cause of the stupid blank config referral statistics page even with the newest 2.1 RS hack and the fixit.php file) I'll have to check again to make sure. Talk to you later on AIM about this, thanks

it has to do with phrases, but i honestly don't have time to manually find/fix them all in the php file. thanks for the help!

oh, and i think screen 1 is just a bulleting issue (being outside the table)

blank page almost always means a blank/broken template. make sure the style you are using has the right remplates for the hack.

Actually, I meant I see exactly the pics that you just posted not too long ago. It's not exactly blank, just no phrases (sorry, I didn't make that clear)

But I still get that Internal Server Error when I go to referrals.php... (chmod 777)

the insternal server error is definitely that you don't have the directory set in your admincp>referralstats setup. if your hosted on a linus server, it's prolly gonna be something like

/home/username/public_html/forumroot/

when i did this, it gave me a chdir error cuz i had forgotten the preceding "/" in front of home. putting this is made the referral stats work fine.

to enter in the directory in your admin, go to that page, and the first box is where you put the path, save, and you should be all set on the user end.

paulz - thanks for the help.

I have updated the zip file again to reflect changes in the install of this hack. I have also updated the installation instructions.

I have updated by board to version 3.0.6 and I uninstalled this hack completely, then I ran the installation through the auto installer and smack dab, everything is working correctly. Try following the new instructions...
