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.

Make sure you have loaded the latest plugins, you can download them by calling the autoupdate.php script via your browser.

I recently sent in a fix to the development team, and they said it was implemented now.

I just tested it and it works flawlessly with any domain now.

I've been trying that myself without much luck. Here's what I have but it's not working.

in OpenInviter/config.php

PHP Code:

<?php
require_once('/path/to/my/forum/global.php');
$url = "index.php?referrerid=" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
    $openinviter_settings=array(
        "username"=>"blah",
        "private_key"=>"11111111111111111111111111111111",
        "cookie_path"=>'/mycookiepath',
        "message_body"=>"You are invited to blah.com!  Please use the following link to visit the site: $url", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
        "message_subject"=>" is inviting you to www.blah.com", // www.blah.com is the website on your account. If wrong, please update your account at OpenInviter.com
        "transport"=>"curl", //Replace "curl" with "wget" if you would like to use wget instead
        "local_debug"=>"on_error", //Available options: on_error => log only requests containing errors; always => log all requests; false => don`t log anything
        "remote_debug"=>FALSE //When set to TRUE OpenInviter sends debug information to our servers. Set it to FALSE to disable this feature
    );
    ?>

In the invite email it will show:

You are invited to blah.com! Please use the following link to visit the site: http://www.blah.com/index.php?referrerid=

but 'userid' is not getting passed

Awesome mod BTW, even with the openinvitaion quarks and issues.

[BBR-APBT]

I will work on this in the next few days for a update. Which will include the referrer link.

[accludetuner]

Awesome! Thank you!

One other suggestion I could make since I plan to do this on my site is to be able to change where the "Invite Friends" link is. Instead of in the "Quick Links" drop-down, I plan to put it in the actual navbar and in the footer navbar.
