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.

The additional.css is a template. You need to edit that in the admin cp. The referrer info will be under the About Me tab (at the bottom) in the user's profile.

You don't need to do anything with the $mark_as_installed code.

I am running VB 4.0.6 PL! and I clicked "installed" for this mod.

I imported the product and added the additional CSS, but nothing shows in the User's CP. This is a pretty straight-forward install, too easy, so I thought maybe something got boogered up when In uploaded the file.

I uninstalled and tried again, still, nothing shows. Any ideas?

Thanks for this. I have no idea why VB seems to leave stuff like this out of their design.

There is no 4.0.6 PL version.

Also, are you using a custom skin?

sorry bro, I boogered it up, I guess I was tired or something when I posted that.

I am running 4.0.6.

I got the PL 1 from the little text at the top of the admin area that says:

"Latest version available: 4.0.6 Patch Level 1" and links to the vbulletin members area for the download.

I have not done the patch yet. Too lazy I guess, or maybe i am sick of updating VB and just need a few days off from it

I am running a modifieid version of the default template that I created using that new template designed in VB 4. Basically, the only stuff that was changed was the colors.

Ah, ok, you're running just the forums then. The suite doesn't have that upgrade.

You don't get the referral link box at the top of the page when you click on Settings in the header? If not, then you might not have the template hook this uses in your new template. Also, the referral names will be under the About Me tab in the profile.

Don't really know. I just clicked on the link in the admin cpanel and it lets you move a dot around on some colors to get the colors you need, then it allows you to save it.

right now I have been telling people how to make their own referral link by finding out their member number and adding it to the link like:

forum/index.php?referrerid=(insert number here)

I just figured this would make it so much easier for them

Thanks man, I will try it on the default template that came with it and see if it works.

[Boofo]

Actually, unless you've changed it, this:

forum/index.php?referrerid=(insert number here)

should be this:

forum/forum.php?referrerid=(insert number here)

Let me know if it works with the default template and if you want, I can take a look at it and see what we need to fix it for you. PM the login details for the admin cp if you want me to look at it for you.

Don't know, they both worked. I even tried them with different member numbers at the end and they both inputted the data into the referred by section in the registration form. I will just keep trying to get this mod to work, because it would be a lot easier and require a lot less work on the member's part. Let me check the default template, see what it does and get back with ya. Thanks.

If you are just running the forums, it might work with index.php. I'm not sure how that is set up, to be honest.

Let me know if it works with the default template and we can go from there. Since I run the default skin, that is what it was written on.
