how to create a referral link · **Released**: 07-11-2002

all the threads I have found have so far proved useless to me.

I know there's a variable that shows http://www.mydomain.com?ref=32132131

Basically, I need to put a referral link in each users profile like at SitePoint Forums.

$post[userid] doesn't seem to work.

Any help appreciated.

$userinfo[userid] should to work. If that doesn't try $user[userid]... but I think it's the former.

You'd think.... I have tried both with no luck. This is the code bit
that I'm putting in the forumhome template.

<tr>
<td bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" align="center" valign="top"
width="100"> </td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="5">
<smallfont>
$userinfo[userid](watch this spot for info on referring your
friends)
</smallfont>
</td>

</tr>

In the forumhome template? You said you want it in the profile...

For the user that is viewing the page $bbuserinfo[userid] is the ID.

I changed my mind. I decided to add on to a hack I have on the front page
and I guess I automatically assumed it would be the same variable. Sorry.
That works beautifully. Thanks.
