Forum Invitation Form · **Released**: 11-30-2002

All information is in attached text file. This hack creates a page for users to enter a friend's Email address and an optional message. Their friend will then receive an EMail inviting them to join the board.

Feel free to edit to suit your forums to your hearts content.

Involves creating and uploading 1 new PHP file to forum rootdir, and 5 new templates.
Any questions, I cannot guarantee prompt response but I don't mind an Email with any questions, or just post in here.

Question: Would it be possible, say if the friend signs up with the same email that the msg was sent to, the person who sent it gets a referral for it?

I don't see why not N9ne, quite a good idea, but this doesn't involve any tables to memorise such things. The link they receive to the registration page contains &referrerid=$bbuserinfo[userid] in it, so referring member gets credit.

Next step for this might be to register user as well, and send them a username and random password in the Email perhaps?

I don't think registering the user and sending username and password is such a good idea...

So the url sent contains the referrerid link? If so, that's fine

Mmm... this is similar to Unknown's Refer Friends hack...

One single question.
Are 2.2.8 (and earlier version) hacks working correctly on 2.2.9?
