What does "Accepted By" -> Not Accepted Yet" mean? How can i acceppt invites as admin? Is there any moderation?

[christian8a]

Is this product going to be supported still let us know bud, that way we can figure out ourselves

I tried this mod on RC1 and ran into the following issues:

Users always get the error message that the invitation code is invalid. They always have the reload the page a second time to register. Doesn't matter if the user has any cookies set or not. Tried in various browsers.

E-Mail Verification does not work when normal registration method is disabled using this plugin. Users always get the invalid invitation code error message until I turned the disabling of the normal registration off in this plugin. Then they are abe to verify their email address.

Defining the user groups who can delete invites has no effect. The delete invite link never shows up.

Edit:
Fixed the missing delete links by changing the code so that a check is done against all groups the user is a member of and not only his primary group. But all delete links link to the last sent invitationcode now because the array from the config is exploded to itself in the while loop causing that the delete link is always the first value.

Fixed the need for re-loading the invite page twice on the first time by changing the code to form setting the cookie and checking for the cookie right away cookie to setting the cookie or checking for the cookie. Setting a cookie and checking for it right away without a page re-load is not possible on all browers.

Fixed the not-supported email verification when the normal registration is disabled by this mod, by adding a check if on user account accitivation an if accepted invitation cookie is present for the user in question. I also removed the cookie at that time since registration should be complete.

Looks like it runs now. Man this thing is buggy, but better than writing one from scratch...

I still need to add some features like reclaiming of deleted invites and automatic invite deletion after some time. It also needs verification that you cannot send invites to already registered emails as well as not allowing to have duplicate invites waiting to be claimed for an email.

Love it! Installed! Nominated!

I am having trouble finding the phrase to alter the message that is sent in invite. What is the name of the phrase so I can alter it a bit?

[00christian00]

Hi,great mod man.
I found how to edit the initial number of invites,but how can i reset invites?
I mean once some user finish them i should go to each user setting and modify the value?
It would be better to have at least some way to reset invites to its default value.

All new user to my site get that error saying invalid invite code and have to click it several times before it works. I did see your fix by setting something from 20 to 32, I can't remember exactly but when i checked out the setting for the new version which i have it is set to 100 so I assume this isn't the problem.

Please can you recommend a fix.

[christian8a]

This hack does not work with RC1
do not install it untill the author support it a bit.

Members and administrators cant delete the invitations, it deletes some and it leaves others.
Just tought Id let you guys know

[Scythe42]

I tried to bugfix this one because I need a simple invitation system and didn't want to write one from scratch. If you try this one one, please let me know if it fixes your issues. The attached product is a simple export from my forum.

I made the following changes:

• no more need to double click on the invitation link
• invitationcode cookie gets removed once the user has signed up
• account verification after signup isn't blocked by an invalid invitation error code anymore
• deletions of invites now delete the correct invite
• added permissions check when trying to delete an invitation
• if a user deletes an unclaimed invite, he gets one invite back
• you cannot sent multiple invites to the same email address
• you cannot sent invites to already registered email addresses
• added no invites sent message to usercp tepmplate
• changed some phrases to proper English (hope so)
• added some additional phrases

Let me know if this one works for you and I'll do some more updates and optimizations and release this one as an supported fork once 3.7 hits gold because the original author seems to have lost interest in his mod.

Use at your own risk!
