Referrer Dropdown 3.5.x

Referrer Dropdown


Features
Show Referrer in Dropdown, while registration!


Why use it
1. Some of my friends just leave referrer blank because they dun know the exact spelling of my username!, :@
2. BTW i do the same if some one referrs me

Why not use it
1. Increases the size of page, more the members more will be size of page!
2. i dun recommend using it if you have members more than 500.., cz it will slow down the registration page.

Its A PLUGIN not a PRODUCT
need suggestions and ideas to improve this

works on 3.5.x

Thanx if you

A AJAX plugin that makes recommendation dropdown for members is much better. This way you can type fl ... and it would dropdown suggestions for floris, etc. ..

thats sounds like a great ideal cause i have over 20,000 members

great idea,, i tried implementing it but not going well, i used as script in send PM but its not working,,
replacing

<input type=\"text\" class=\"bginput\" name=\"referrername\" value=\"$referrername\" size=\"50\" maxlength=\"250\" />

with

<div id=\"pmrecips\"><input type=\"text\" class=\"bginput\" id=\"pmrecips_txt\" name=\"referrername\" value=\"$referrername\" size=\"50\" maxlength=\"250\" /></div>
					
						<div class=\"vbmenu_popup\" id=\"pmrecips_menu\" style=\"display:none; z-index:50\"></div>
						<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_namesugg.js\"></script>
						<script type=\"text/javascript\">
						<!--
						vbmenu_register('pmrecips', true);
						recip_sugg = new vB_AJAX_NameSuggest('recip_sugg', 'pmrecips_txt', 'pmrecips');
						recip_sugg.allow_multiple = true;
						//-->
						</script>

tried making my own AJAX (am not good at it) its very slow like 10-15 seconds retreving the databack.
help plz

No clue how you'd do it, but you said suggest something

Like on gmail when you type in a email adress that you have emailed before.

How can we make this a required field

(previously this was not even desireable as a required field because the registering user would so often mistype the refering user)

My site however is setup in a way that nobody should be registering UNLESS they have chosen a referer

Can someone get this working on a vbulletin 3.8.6 board?
