Boofo, just a question, what is

global $show;

doing in the updated plugin? I ask not why is it there, but rather, what purpose does it serve.. ?

Thanks alot. :up:

That is for the code to show the referrer name in the profile. Check out the added pic in the first post. It was an after-thought that I thought would be nice to have.

[Tom_S]

Oh..okay. Thanks Boofo.

No problem, sir.

Make sure to do the added template edit to get the referrer to show up in the profile.

I did the template add for the profile, but it isn't showing the names.

[Boofo]

It won't show anything on a profile that doesn't have a referrer. Check out another profile that you know does have one.

[txsbmw]

I was checking my own profile that has 3 referrers but it did not show their names.

[Boofo]

That is not how it works. It shows who referred the user not who the user referred.

[txsbmw]

Oh ok so it won't show who all you referred only if someone referred you?

[Boofo]

Yep.
