I couldn't find anything about this, but when I delete a user I get this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /.../includes/class_dm_user.php(2127) : eval()'d code on line 1

If I disable the Invitation Userdata 2 plugin which hooks to userdata_delete then I don't get the error.

Has anyone else have this issue?

Hi there

This looks like a very cool mod - i've installed on 3.7 (rc4) and when i try to invite somebody, i get the following error msg:

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

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

any ideas what the problem might be?

many thanks!

I have another request that I hope you will like enough to add:

Referrals in postbit.
If the number of referrals would be visible in postbit, then it would really increase the use of the invitation system.

I know there already is a hack which does that, but it causes large table scans, which means it brings large boards to dramatically slow down. There is really no way for me to use that hack. Plus the other hack is no longer supported.

[BadgerDog]

Just to clarifiy, if set to YES, does this option mean that the standard vBulletin Regsistration is diabled abd people can't use it to sign up for the system.

Disable Normal Registration Methods

Enabling this will disable normal registration methods. Yes No

Thanks

Regards,
Badger

Can probably fixed by adding the CSRF stuff to the templates and the scripts. I haven't tried because I'm not running RC4. I'm waiting for the final. Once out the security token stuff will be included.

Can be easily done in the next version with one SQL query. I'll post the query once the next verison is out.

That's corrent. When activated you run an invitation only forum.

For the next version I settle with Gmail and Yahoo. The others plus CSV upload will follow later. My time is currently very limited and the other services don't have a near concatc CSV download as Gmail and Yaahoo habe. I'm just waiting for 3.7 Final to be released, update my production forum and then release an updated 3.7 version.

You need to manually update your templates if the link doesn't show up. Next version will be complete auto-template.

Not planned for the next verison, but flagged for the future.

The next verison sets the referrerid correctly and doesn't allow the user to overwrite the informatin when registering.

The mod uses the vbmail function. If you setup you vbulletin to queue mail, invitation emails will also be queued.

Only one invitation per email address is allowed. You cannot sent multiple invitations to the same email address.

Hi, nice mod! I have one question:
Is that possible to set the number of invitations per usergroup?

[Tigur]

This is an interesting hack... but what would be great would be something that can import contacts from MSN, Yahoo, GMail and send them an invite.

Those are being incorporated in the next release. Can't wait!
