Miscellaneous Hacks - User CP Referral ID and Referrer/Referrals in Profile for vB 4

User CP Referral ID and Referrer in Profile for vB 4
Version 1.0.8
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a content box at the top of the User CP displaying a customizable referral "Message" and the member's "Referral Link" along with their referral count. This will also show who referred a user in their profile in the About Me tab, under Referrals, at the bottom. It will only show in the About Me tab if the user has been referred by someone. A Referred Members List has also been added for each member so you can see who a Member has referred. The referral count in the User CP will link directly to the Referred members List.

NOTE: If you are currently using Referrer in Profile for vB 4, you will need to uninstall that first, as this does the same thing but with the User CP Referral ID and Referred Members List added.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.0 --Initial release for vB 4
Version 1.0.1 --Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the referral count in the User CP.
Version 1.0.2 --Added Referred Members List for each member and a link to the list from the User CP referral count.
Version 1.0.3 --Fixed the Referral Link to reflect the 'Script Name for Forum Home Page' setting in vB 4.
Version 1.0.4 --Product is now completely phrased.
Version 1.0.5 --Referred Members List is now alphabetically sorted and Usergroups 3 and 4 are no longer represented in the listing.
Version 1.0.6 --Added the ability to collapse the box.
Version 1.0.7 --Moved Referrer below Join Date. The Referrals will no longer show if the user has no referrals. This is done via an automatic template edit.
Version 1.0.8 --Added User CP Referral ID Box Position setting. This will allow you to choose the location where you want the Referral ID box to show in the User CP.

NOTE: The "manual_template_edit_code.txt" is included in case the automatic template edit doesn't work for some custom skins.

Boofo, its still not working as when a different referral is clicked, one of a different user, the referrer box on registration appears as my name user 1 even if referred by user 45. Its also happening on your site.

[Boofo]

It is working fine on my site. I used the id 2 from another user and it input that person's name in the referrer box on a new registration. If you click your own link, yes it will show up as you. Try using another referred id on the end of it after you log out and you will see that person's name in the referrer box on a new registration. if you still are having problems figuring it out, PM me and we will go to IM and get it taken care of.

Hmm..Still getting that problem..It could just be my cookies.

[Boofo]

Yes, I was just going to say that as I tested it and found that if you try to do more than one referrer id in the same session, it will keep the first one. Delete your cookies and try it again and it will take the new referrer id. That is how it is supposed to work in vb.

[red.death]

Yep Boofo, i think that was the problem Thanks! It works great now.

Hi...

how can I change the message?

[Boofo]

Sure, just edit the template to whatever you want it to say. Make sure you leave the links as is though. When you're done editing it, send it to me in a PM and if it is better than what I already have there, I will update the hack with it.

[sergioloporto]

Thanks for your help ... but I would like it to translate the message in another language, since I am not using English in my VB

If I want the text to be different, should I update the XML and re-instal it? Or there is some other easier way?
