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.

just to let you know, the code I posted seems to work fine in the openinviter adminCP settings page but not when actually sending emails.

Is your forum in the root directory? If so did you change the permissions for the OpenInviter folder to 777?

[bizkitpark]

i've done exactly what you said but nothing appears

[sparklywater]

Can someone please help me, I want to display the OpenInviter interface within one of the vBulletin phrases, the message which is shown to a new user just after registering. I've tried using the variable $oi_display within the phrase body but it doesn't work, the variable does not get parsed. If someone can let me know how to make this work within the phrase that would be great.

http://squattheplanet.com/forum/misc.php?oi=true

That could be it....it needs to be in the same directory that your forum is in.
