Refer Friend

Refer Friend

For some reason, there is no "Refer a Friend" form standard in vB3.

This is a simple "Refer a Friend" form based on sendmessage.php.

All you need is to edit 1 PHP file - sendmessage.php, and add 1 template.

Instructions are in the HTML zipped below.

Below is a screenshot, as requested.

Thanks Erwin you could basically tell what it should look like from the html but an image takes about a second to understand

will that change the contact us link in your instructions to

Refer a friend?

If so how would one add it as a new link instead?

Look at my instructions carefully. It adds the link, not replace it.

Chances are you installed in wrongly. There should be no parse errors if you follow my instructions exactly. Make sure you are closing all your open { with }.

No it won't.

You could also add a phrase for Refer a friend and other text as they are hardcoded as of now.

Erwin, nice and i'll use that but vB3 has a 'select your language' feature... Would be nice if you could update this hack to use the phrasing system.

That's true. But that would take an extra 10 steps, to enter in each phrase. Feel free to do it for your own site. Feel free to customize any hacks I have released for your own site.

Excellent, thanks for another great hack that's pulling me towards vB3!
