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.

You would have to run the query for it globally, which I wouldn't recommend as it will add a query to every page.

Hello Boofo,
thank you for this nice plugin! I have an idea to improve it more, I hope you like it and you can do it...

I think it would be an excellent feature to have your plugin do the following:

-Show something somewhere showing something like "Suggest this page to your friends";
-People clicking there are redirected to a page, where there is explained that the friends will receive the referrer link, so if they register the database is updated and their "referred friends" counter will increase;
-In this page there are fields like "name" "email" of the referrer and the text boxes for the email addresses of the friends;
-Friends will receive an email using the internal email system, eg. SNMP (if configured) and in the email text there will be the referrer link!

I would help many many people to "publicize" their sites...

What do you think? Is it feasible?

It would be the same query that is already used, but in a different hook that is global.

It is compatible. You will need to edit the xml file and remove 4.0.0 from this line:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="" />

Make sure to click install after you install it.
