Refer Friend

Refer Friend

For some reason, there is no "Refer a Friend" form standard in vB3.

This is a simple "Refer a Friend" form based on sendmessage.php.

All you need is to edit 1 PHP file - sendmessage.php, and add 1 template.

Instructions are in the HTML zipped below.

Below is a screenshot, as requested.

I have installed this hack without any problems. Thank you very much.

Great hack! I've added the referral link to my header, footer, and quick links menu. Referrals to my forum almost doubled. I'm surprised such a feature is not standard in Vbulletin. I give this hack a thumbs up. :up:

I have also installed it, and it worked beautifully! no hassle at all! And really easy to understand and customize to own needs!

Ok .. solved the problem .. I always take a backup before I edit a php file.

Edited the sendmessage.php .. made a coffee and uploaded the backup ... duh :nervous:

So... how can we make it so you can send to more than one person at the same time?... I think this would be very handy

Thank you for this hack!

I've installed it and it works like a charme.

I agree, I'd love that!

Which setting do I need to change so prevent this message from propagating when I click "Send":

I uploaded the new version of sendmessage.php to the root forum directory just fine - and have verified the changes. Can't figure out what's wrong.

I'm using version 3.0.3

Hi, I have installed the hack. It's a great hack and it's displayed fine. But, when I tried to send the referral email to my own email address. The email is sent back to my domain email address saying that the email cannot be sent. Can someone help me why did that happen? I thought there might be an error with my domain email address, but I tried to send email with my email address using webmail and it works. Can someone help me? is it because the form is using vb mail and it does not work with my domain email?
