Hey G. same thing just happened for me for a friends page. The option to put the full path doesnt arrise before the "hidden" phrases start. I think this is due to upgrade. Upgrade from what verison? I think users that have your older version will be missing phrases.

Did you check this manually in the phrases section in the admincp? Where non of the phrases added? I made the installer add all phrases no matter if they had the old version or the new. Please check this and let me know. You will be looking for phrases that start with referral

I would like to know if anyone has installed this hack without having any troubles with the new verion 2.1? I'm leading to believe that I have something simple wrong here with the auto installer. Can anyone tell me who is having problems, if they can see manually in their admincp in the phrases that there are phrases with referral beginning with them? They should be listed under the global phrase section. This will help fix the problems that you are having, the more information you can give me the better, any pictures, ect.. MUCH APPRECIATED!

the screen goes blank. the tag under username is hidden its like a mariobrothers game. its inbetween the two codes. almost like your var have nothing in them.

and the template has lost all sense of pagnation. It doesnt bother me much wasnt my system but to be honest these peeps you said cant follow instructions are right.

Actually your installer is straight forward. So I cant see how they would mess up phrases. I also get a database error. I am sure it is due to prefix. I dont want to mess with it... wait till you get a update.

Ok, finally I dont know why now, but finally I'm getting the same error here. I have been asking questions to other hackers and were all trying to figure this out. It's really weird. Sorry all, please do not install this until I release a fixed version in 2.2

I'm trying my best to fix this promptly. VERY SORRY TO ALL

I installed the 2.1 v when u fixed the phrase's issue. Apparently, the problem did not fix itself. But when i logged out of admin panel and logged back in the second time... everything worked flawlessly. I have read lots of messages of ppl having issues with the path to refferal.php and i do not think it is an issue with the mod but ppl not understanding the instructions.

Also, as a suggestion, if u can include a mannual install instruction, that will help ppl like us - who are not too techie but still techie enough to modify vB with some instructions. Overall, the hack installed OK for me.

Thank you!. Like a charm. Question (since they never stop) why did you set it up to be one or the other? Why couldnt groups (not in) say 1,3,4 have posts more than 10 lets say...
(throwing in) and at least 1 referal themselves.

I had to pick one out of the list but hey it works... and you took time to make it... AND fix it with an installer.

Props to you man.

hi, i used the upgrade script to upgrade from v2.0 and i can't get to the referral settings in the admincp and the templates havent changed and i'm getting this error viewing the referral page now.

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /referrals.php on line 18

Any ideas? Maybe if i unistalled it and reinstalled?

[rrr]

Does this script track how many posts the referrals have made?

I'd like to only give "credit" for a referral if they are active and have made at least X number of posts.

Is this possible?

actually some of the templates have changed. You can try uninstalling it, then doing a re-install, but you need to edit your /admincp/index.php file to reflect the changes that were made to it in order to view the "referral statistics" under the admincp. Try it let me know..
