how to solve this problem

By reading the instructions...... !!!!!!

You have to set the full vbulletin path in your admincp under referral statistics and then configure referral statistics. That will fix your problem which has already been addressed i dont know how many times before your post. Take the time and read the instructions and other peoples posts, because many issues will have already been addressed.

By the way - CLICK INSTALL IF YOU INSTALL MY HACK

I don't know why, but installing this seems to have killed my scheduled tasks... Any ideas?

[lifesourcerec]

says it saves the absolute path, but it doesn't.

So, I still get this:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) on line 18

Warning: Division by zero on line 45

And yes, I put in absolute path, number of pages and click save. But still get that error.. After hitting save, it still says: "ERROR: You must set your vbulletin path!"

Won't save it. Is there a way to manually add it to the database?

This shouldnt affect the scheduled tasks, it has nothing what so ever to do with it. You might want to try to run a database repair and optimization in the admincp panel.

Can you please post some images of the following pages: Your admincp referral configurations page & the referral statistics page in general in the admincp where you are seeing this error?

It successfully added the path, since you aren't seeing an error on the referral.php page. So I need to see what you are working with as far as your settings in general. If you would like, email me the screen shots so you dont have to show your full vbulletin path to the public.

I found the problem. I did it as an upgrade, but I was using an old version of referral statistics. Had to re-install as new and add the code in the function)online file.

Nice. No problems for me on 3.0.6.

Thanks!

Suggestions for next version...

-Sorting options (by username, referral count, etc)
-Adjust the design to look more like the default vB design. (table widths, pagenav, headings, etc.
-ability to toggle on/off show only those referred members who have been active within the past x days.

What I would love to see in this hack:

-When a user is logged in, the url of any page they view is appended with "&ref=USERNAME" tag following the rest of the URL. This allows a person to paste that link on any other site or send it to a friend to refer them easily.

-Payment integration and tracking: Any referrals give the referrer a monetary reward of like $0.10-$1.00 per user if the referred user makes more than 5 posts or something. The admin can pay any user once their balance reaches a certain amount via paypal (this last part doesnt need to be integrated, just tracked)

With those two hacks, this would be the bestest hack ever cause everyone knows that if u motivate people through money, you'll get a lot more users much faster...

I'm willing to pay for these additions too gspot, if you're listening
