Mini Mods - Referral Link in User CP

Often sites like to run contests for referrals, or members just like to be credited for those they refer to your site.

An easier way to do this is to use a referral link that automatically credits the user if the person they refer registers after using their link to get to your site.

You can add such a link into the USER CP shell so that if they wish to use the link to refer people to your site they can easily obtain access to it, copy it and paste it into e-mail, etc.


In Template USERCP_SHELL find:

<if condition="$show['profilepiclink']">
    <tr><td class="$navclass[profilepic]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofilepic">$vbphrase[edit_profile_picture]</a></td></tr>
    </if>

Below that add:

<!-- Referral Link -->
<tr><td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">Your Referral Link</a></td></tr>
<!-- / Referral Link -->

<!-- / Referral Link -->

what should i do?

Can you place the code after edit in a code box and send it to me in PM?

Also, a test account would be helpful so I can see the result.

Also... Did you use TMS to do the modifications?

Well, that should put the link right below the Edit User Profile link, it is placed correctly.

Do you have any mods that add icons or something in the USER CP?

Another option for you might be this mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=202533

It creates a collapsible box in the USER CP that has a counter.

And TMS is this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152931

You changed the code up a bit which would change it enough to make it very unclear.

I have attached the correct one in this post.

Basically you changed:

"Your Referral Link" to your URL which would place a link that appears to be your url in your UserCP under edit Profile Picture that would take you to your referral link, but it wouldn't be clear that it would.

You don't want your forum's url in there. Look at the txt file I uploaded, that should solve your issue.

You want the referral code to look exactly like this:

<!-- Referral Link -->
<tr><td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">Your Referral Link</a></td></tr>
<!-- / Referral Link -->

Of course you would want to translate "Your Referral Link" into Arabic. The translator says this: ان الصلة , of course I have no idea how correct it is. I do not, unfortunately, speak Arabic.
