Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

I hope you enjoy
Please Click install.
Note support will not be giving if you don't.

When I try to submit my invotes with Yahoo and Hotmail I get a security token error.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

In the admin panel if I try to save my settings I get this error.

Warning: file_put_contents([path]/admincp/../OpenInviter/config.php) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]/admincp/oi_settings.php on line 89

this would be so much better if it was implemented into the user registration. During registration through facebook, bebo and myspace etc this is thrown up during the registration process which would mean each new member would be emailing there mates while registering on your site.
