Mini Mods - vB5 Invite-only

vB5 Invite-Only

What this addon do
With vB 5.6.1 every permitted user could generate an invite-/ referral-link to invite others to your forum. In vB 5.6.2 will come a new function to abort a registration with a message to the registering user. So this mod will abort the registration if the user did not use a referral-link or did use a not valid referral-link.

This is a free version so there is no option to turn this off until uninstall or disable the product from/ in your forum.

Attention:

• As long as this addon is installed and active nobody without a valid referral-link could register!
• A referral-code could be used multiple times until it will expires! There is no option to turn this off in this plugin!
• A user could invite as much users he wants. There is no option to stop a user to send valid referral-links to others!

How to install

Just upload the unzipped folder into core/packages/ ... (core/packages/delinviteonlyfree)
The addon will install automatically and is active immediately!


How to uninstall

You could stop the plugin by disable the plugin in your admincp -> products and hooks -> product-manager -> dropdown right.

To fully uninstall the plugin, delete the folder delinviteonlyfree from core/packages/ and go to admincp-> products and hooks -> product-manager -> dropdown right -> uninstall

Version history

• 1.0.0 - Initial release
• 1.1.0 - Change the referralcode-check

With vB 5.6.1 the registration will stop with an api-error and no information to the registering user. After upgrading to vB 5.6.2+ the user will see either a message of a missing referral-code or a wrong referral code if there is no or no valid referral-code in the registration-link. Please use the Version InviteOnlyFree_110 and upload the delinviteonlyfree folder to the core/packages folder of your forum.

Do not install on any vB Version below 5.6.1!!!

Those files and folders are osX Files from the macbook and you do not need them.

Thanks so much for your help.

can I get it to work by disabling the registration and allow the member to register using the invitation code?

Thank you.

I tried it and got the error:

----------------------------
An unexpected error was returned: 'invalid_page_url'
----------------------------

that's when I tried to register with the url I got from the usercp (correct?)

after I entered the name and wanted to move to the next field the error appeared

Thank you.
