Referral ID in User CP

This simple modification will add a content box in the User CP displaying the user's "Referral Count", "Referral Link" and a "Referral Message" that can can be customized in the Phrase Manager.

For 3.5.x or higher simply install the product.


For 3.0.x follow the instructions below:

1) Modify USERCP template
Admin CP >> Style Manager >> Edit Templates >> User control Panel Templates >> USERCP

Find:

<!-- ############## SUBSCRIBED THREADS ############## -->

Above that add:

<!-- ############### REFERRALS ############### -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center"
style="background-color:white">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="tcat">
<a style="float:right" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('referral')"><img id="collapseimg_referral" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat$vbcollapse[collapseimg_my_table].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vboptions[bbtitle] $vbphrase[referrals]: <span class="normal">($referrals)</span>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody id="collapseobj_referral" style="">
<tr>
<td class="page" align="left" width="100%">
<phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]" 2="member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getinfo&amp;userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 3="$vbphrase[profile]" 4="$bbuserinfo[username]" 5="$vboptions[bburl]/index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]" >$vbphrase[refid_usercp]</phrase>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<br />
<!-- ############# END REFERRALS ############# -->

2) Add the Required Phrase
Admin CP >> Language & Phrases >> Phrase Manager >> Add New Phrase

Phrase Type:

Global

Varname:

refid_usercp

Text:

<p>Please help us spread the word about "{1}." When referring others to the community you can use the link below which includes your unique referral ID.</p>
<p>Each time someone follows this link to {1} and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one.</p>
<p>Please be courteous when promoting {1} by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.</p>
<fieldset id="referrallink"><legend>Referral Link for {4}&nbsp;</legend><a href="{5}">{5}</a></fieldset>

3) Modify usercp.php file [VB versions 3.0.x]

Open usercp.php and Find:

eval('$HTML = "' . fetch_template('USERCP') . '";');

Above that add:

// REFERRALS 
$refcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE referrerid = '".$bbuserinfo['userid']."'"); 
$referrals = vb_number_format($refcount['count']);

4) That's it! You're Done!

Yep! It has always worked with 3.5.4 but now all you have to do is install the product.

Hi there,

This Mod sounds like exactly what I am seeking but when I click on product usercp referral id 3 5 4.xml it takes me to the file itself. Nothing to download...I'm not that familiar with installing products but can you tell me how I get the file and then imported to the AdminCP.

I do know how to do that when the whole file just downloads for me.

Sorry, I know this shouold probably be obvious.

Thanks for creating the Mod though, I can't wait to use it.

hey guyz, in my UserCP I have 2 referrer ID links and descriptions, it's like I installed the product twice, which I didn't do

I used the XML... can anyone tells me where I can look for duplicate entries in the templates? or anything else that may be causing this... thanks

[kurtbarker]
