Referral ID in User CP

This simple modification will add a content box in the User CP displaying the user's "Referral Count", "Referral Link" and a "Referral Message" that can can be customized in the Phrase Manager.

For 3.5.x or higher simply install the product.


For 3.0.x follow the instructions below:

1) Modify USERCP template
Admin CP >> Style Manager >> Edit Templates >> User control Panel Templates >> USERCP

Find:

<!-- ############## SUBSCRIBED THREADS ############## -->

Above that add:

<!-- ############### REFERRALS ############### -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center"
style="background-color:white">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral')"><img id="collapseimg_referral" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[referrals]: <span class="normal">($referrals)</span>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral" style="">
<tr>
<td class="page" align="left" width="100%">
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&amp;userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 3="$vbphrase[profile]" 4="$bbuserinfo[username]" 5="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- ############# END REFERRALS ############# -->

2) Add the Required Phrase
Admin CP >> Language & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase

Phrase Type:

Global

Varname:

refid_usercp

Text:

<p>Please help us spread the word about "{1}." When referring others to the community you can use the link below which includes your unique referral ID.</p>
<p>Each time someone follows this link to {1} and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one.</p>
<p>Please be courteous when promoting {1} by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.</p>
<fieldset id="referrallink"><legend>Referral Link for {4}&nbsp;</legend><a href="{5}">{5}</a></fieldset>

3) Modify usercp.php file [VB versions 3.0.x]

Open usercp.php and Find:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('USERCP') . '";');

Above that add:

// REFERRALS 
$refcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$bbuserinfo['userid']."'"); 
$referrals = vb_number_format($refcount['count']);

4) That's it! You're Done!




*A special thanks to Noppid for helping out and getting the referral counts to appear in the UserCP for 3.0.x and 3.5.x versions.

*A special thanks to Boofo for packaging this product for 3.5.x

I would like to know this as well. It does not stay collapsed and my members have brought it up wishing it would.

Ok set out to read some articles and have fixed it:

Replace your usercp_referrals template with this (it was missing some code to get it to work:

<!-- ########## REFERRALS IN USER CP ########## -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral')"><img id="collapseimg_referral" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_referral].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[referrals]<span class="normal">: ($referrals)</span>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_referral]">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" title="$bbuserinfo[username]'s $vbphrase[referrals]" width="100%" align="left">
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="$vbphrase[referrals]" 3="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 4="$vbphrase[profile]" 5="$bbuserinfo[username]" 6="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- ######## END REFERRALS IN USER CP ######## -->

Hello,
Is it possible to show the referred users-list?
Also, that only "activated" members are being displayed?

Thanks! lol i read this after i did all the changes and got errors. Could an author please update the thread for new vb3.6+ users? Say no template or php files need changes. Users just need to import the xml file. very handy. thanks.

Works fine on 3.6.8.

~Hubba~ being my username of course, but that's not a referral link, how would I fix this?

That's the same thing that happened on mine! I don't know why it's doing that either..
