Install Instructions
1. Upload the oi_settings.php to the adminCP dir.
2. Import the product-openinviter.xml

Done for my side of things.

Go to: http://openinviter.com/
1.Sign up for an account and download the package for vbulletin.
2.copy the Openinviter folder to your root vBulletin
3.Do nothing with the oi_settings.php and product-openinvitervbulletinediti.xml that come with their version.

If you use theirs, there is a security hole which I have patched in mine. I am waiting for them to email me back.

What did I change?
Changed how it is displayed in misc.php not index.php.
Also changed how it is displayed on the page in its own table instead of above the header.
Made the admin panel page alot nicer to look at.
Fixed security issues.


Fixes for their code.

Their code for vbulletin is a little messed up go to the Openinviter folder.
Open frontend.php add (echo $oi_display) at the bottom before the php close tag(i.e. ?>).
In the same file search for $contents and replace with $oi_display

I hope you enjoy
Please Click install.
Note support will not be giving if you don't.

Yeah it grabs all contacts and pulls them to the page then you can check the box and fill in a little message. Then press send it will then send it to the contacts you have checked off.

I am having an issue where in the latest version of vb 3.8.2, the settings for open inviter overwrite the styles & templates settings in the admin cp. Disabling this plugin brings it back.

Otherwise it works fine for me, I made all your edits and used your frontend.php

I tested on vb 3.7 and it's fine, it brings teh open inviter settings to the bottom of teh admin cp. Just 3.8.2

What exactly is it over writing?

[amjadz4]

its over writing the styles and templates menu..from the admincp. the S&T menu disappears.. when its enabled.

[BBR-APBT]

Change the menu numbers in the file that goes in the xml dir.

I don't know why its doing that for you.

With Facebook Connect Plugin I get this:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class Facebook in [path]/includes/facebook/facebook.php on line 37

[whitetigergrowl]

Facebook for me makes my SQL go away but seems to work fine for most of the rest used. Figure that one out. Facebook seems like a troublesome one.
