[Siropu]

@geolim4, Thank you for letting me know. I will clean the code on the next release.

Hello,

I am hoping you can advise me on something. I have the mod working OK, but I want to include members' referral links in a custom template page I have made where I provide banners for them to use in the referral process. I want to give them ready made HTML links to use, so I need to output the referral link here.

I have tried using {REFERRAL_LINK} to insert this, but it doesn't parse anything on to the page on the site.

Can you suggest what else I need to do? I saw that is what you use to insert the link in the member control panel/profile section. Do I need to assign something in the php file for the template page I made perhaps? (I have a PHP page in the main directory, which calls an HTML template page and has this code for setting up the user data:

Code: Select all

// Start session management
$user->session_begin();
$auth->acl($user->data);
$user->setup();

Thanks for your advice (and your MOD)

Add this template variable in your custom page:

Code: Select all

 'REFERRAL_LINK' => generate_board_url() . "/index.{$phpEx}?r={$user->data['user_id']}",

I'll try it out.

Looks good, I have been waiting for a decent referral mod.
the contest is a great feature..

Will there be a field on the page registration to enter a name of a referral.
also can you add in profile of who referred the member?

Thanks, I will be following!!

I think I will add these features in the next release along with the features I have mentioned in the first post. The next release will probably be once phpbb 3.1 is out.

is this mod safe to use in full working forum?

[Siropu]

The MOD is still in development but it's working fine.

I more concern about security issues.

I installed the mod and there is no option for Setting permissions for who as the right to use Referrals in User Control Panel.

I my wrong?

[Siropu]

There are no permission settings at the moment.

I installed this mod and it was working fine. Show contests on index and leader board are set to ON in the config and I double-checked the edits in my index_body.html, index.php and constants.php and they're fine.
Nothing is showing on the board index, but in the UCP and the actual functions seem fine.
Any idea what my be causing this? Thanks.


EDITED:
**If I remove the "IF" statements, the template displays, but does not populate with contest info.

This is a great mod!! Thank you for taking the time to make it! Keep up the great work!

Can anyone point me in the right direction with getting everything to work correctly on the AcidTech style? I can't seem to get it to display on board index etc. but the "referrals" menu entry is there in the UCP

I seem to have an old Referral Mod installed on my forums and it works with this mod.

The only thing is that there is a Referral Box when a user is registering on my site.

And you can type in the username of the person that referred you.

Now the thing is that when you use the Link and you type in a persons name in the Referral box it counts it as 2 referrals for the user.
