Mini Mods - Referral Link in User CP

Often sites like to run contests for referrals, or members just like to be credited for those they refer to your site.

An easier way to do this is to use a referral link that automatically credits the user if the person they refer registers after using their link to get to your site.

You can add such a link into the USER CP shell so that if they wish to use the link to refer people to your site they can easily obtain access to it, copy it and paste it into e-mail, etc.


In Template USERCP_SHELL find:

<if condition="$show['profilepiclink']">
    <tr><td class="$navclass[profilepic]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=editprofilepic">$vbphrase[edit_profile_picture]</a></td></tr>
    </if>

Below that add:

<!-- Referral Link -->
<tr><td class="$navclass[profile]" nowrap="nowrap"><a class="smallfont" href="index.php?referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid]">Your Referral Link</a></td></tr>
<!-- / Referral Link -->

This will place your link in the USER CP under the "Your Profile" area.

I install it, when I click on the user cp, then on the referral link, what is it supposed to do? I thought it was supposed to be able to say who referred you. Thanks for the help.

Can you link me to the mod? I may need to see how the mod updates your templates.
