Invite (registration through invitation)

[Sarke]

You have a few other mods installed that conflict with this one.  Install the mod anyways (even though it says there's an error), and then open your index.template.php and find

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('tags','gallery','search', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))


replace it with

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('tags','gallery','search', 'invite', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))



then find

Code Select Expand


// If the user is a guest, show [login] button.


replace it with

Code Select Expand


// Invite MOD.
if (allowedTo('invite'))
{
global $modSettings;
echo ($current_action == 'invite' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'invite' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=invite">' , (!empty($modSettings['invite_menu_title']) ? $modSettings['invite_menu_title'] : $txt['invite_title']) , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'invite' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';
}

// If the user is a guest, show [login] button.

Thank you very much amigo. Yes it is working now. Great! 

Sorry, I didn't observe initially. Now I am getting two "Invite" buttons.

Np.

Open up index.template.php again and remove one of these (you have an extra one by mistake):

Code Select Expand


// Invite MOD.
if (allowedTo('invite'))
{
global $modSettings;
echo ($current_action == 'invite' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'invite' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=invite">' , (!empty($modSettings['invite_menu_title']) ? $modSettings['invite_menu_title'] : $txt['invite_title']) , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'invite' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';
}

     Thank you

I did furtherlooking into the differences.

And now from the profile I can´t go to the invitees list of that person. But that is on purpose, right? But i can´t see too who invited who in the memberlist and that happens on default/custom.

The invite page only shows the invite keys.

I attach my files with 1.09 for you to check, but from what i see, the only problem for the changes you made is not showing up in the memberlist.

And in my opinion the invite page of one person should show the invitees, is good to keep track of whom we invited.

[Sarke]

If you have any invitees then there should be a number next to "Members Invited: " in the profile.  Clicking that number will take you to the list, and currently that is the only way to get to the list.

EDIT: it looks to be installed correctly.

hi
i got a problem with the button, am using the satlite theme by Inbetwee. After adding the button am getting a blue box around it.this is my code

Code Select Expand

global $modSettings;
echo ($current_action == 'invite' || $context['browser']['is_ie4']) ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $first . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '' , '
<td align="center" valign="top"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/menu_devider.gif" width="31" height="28" alt="" /></td>
<td valign="top" class="maintab_' , $current_action == 'invite' ? 'active_back' : 'back' , '">
<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=invite">' , (!empty($modSettings['invite_menu_title']) ? $modSettings['invite_menu_title'] : $txt['invite_title']) , '</a>
</td>' , $current_action == 'invite' ? '<td class="maintab_active_' . $last . '">&nbsp;</td>' : '';

Many themes use different code for the menu buttons (this wouldn't be a problem if SMF had a loop instead of each menu item on it's own, but anyways...).  Here's an very general manual install of the menu button for most themes that will use the themes' own code.


1. Open index.template.php

2. Put 'invite' in the $context['current_action'] array.

Code Select Expand


if (in_array($context['current_action'], array('search', 'invite', 'admin', 'calendar', 'profile', 'mlist', 'register', 'login', 'help', 'pm')))
$current_action = $context['current_action'];



3. Make a copy of the menu button code and insert it right after.  The code block usually starts with

Code Select Expand

// the [member] list button

You should now have two "Members" buttons in the menu, right next to each other.


4. In the second block of code (the copy you just made), replace

Code Select Expand


// the [member] list button
if ($context['allow_memberlist'])


with

Code Select Expand


// Invite MOD.
if (allowedTo('invite'))
{
global $modSettings;


and add a closing curly bracket "}" after the code block.


5. In the same block of code, replace all occurances of

Code Select Expand

mlist

with

Code Select Expand

invite

Make sure you don't replace it in the entire document, but just this block of code.


6. In the same block of code, replace

Code Select Expand

$txt[331]

with

Code Select Expand

(!empty($modSettings['invite_menu_title']) ? $modSettings['invite_menu_title'] : $txt['invite_title'])


7. Save and you're done!

[Stirred]

Well just installed and checked it again I see now the changes and it's working well. =)

[Sarke]

Good to know.  I'll make this a bit more obvious in the next release so the list of invitees is easier to find.

Uninstall the mods that also modifies ManagePermissions.php that you installed after Invite 1.03, then 1.03 should uninstall correctly.



Another option would be to uninstall 1.03 manually (this one is probably less work if there are many mods involved).  Uninstall it even though it gives you errors, and then remove the code manually from those files that gave errors.

If ManagePermissions.php and Modifications.english.php are the only ones that failed, here's how you do it.

In ManagePermissions.php, remove the following rows:

Code Select Expand


'invitees_any',


Code Select Expand


'invite',
'invitees_own',


Code Select Expand


'invite' => array(
'invite' => false,
'invitees' => true,
),


Code Select Expand


'invite',



In Modifications.english.php, remove the following rows and all rows in between:

Code Select Expand


// Invite MOD.
$txt['invite_title'] = 'Invite';


to

Code Select Expand


$txt['registration_invite_expired'] = 'Sorry, the invite key has expired.';


did it but couldn't find

Code Select Expand

'invitees_any',
and

Code Select Expand

'invite' => array(
'invite' => false,
'invitees' => true,
),
and

Code Select Expand

'invite',
in ManagePermissions.php (everything ok with Modifications.english.php though) !!! so i uninstalled 1.03 and deleted the files !!!

nevertheless when i tried to install 1.09 it returned an error : test failed in index.template.php !!!

any ideas ? plz help , there are many members asking me to invite people and i don't know what to do !!!

sarke you forgot to answer to me , plz help !!! i'm sending you my index.template.php via pm !!!

i'm using smf 1.1.2 default theme/tp 0.971

[MinasC]

well i just realised i can't attach to pms so here it is !!!

[RoarinRow]

FYI Sarke, yesterday when I uninstalled 1.09 and reinstalled 1.08 I noticed that both modifications.english.php codes were there.  I tested it on two different forums.

[Sarke]

well i just realised i can't attach to pms so here it is !!!

I need your ManagePermissions.php

FYI Sarke, yesterday when I uninstalled 1.09 and reinstalled 1.08 I noticed that both modifications.english.php codes were there.  I tested it on two different forums.

You mean that the code from both 1.08 and 1.09 was there?  Did it give you an error when you uninstalled 1.09?

FYI, Stirred confirmed that 1.09 is working like expect.

If you have any invitees then there should be a number next to "Members Invited: " in the profile.  Clicking that number will take you to the list, and currently that is the only way to get to the list.

[MinasC]

here it is !!!

[Sarke]

Do you always yell?

Looks like you've uninstalled 1.03 successfully.  Install 1.09 even though it gives you the error in index.template.php and then follow these instructions:

yes both codes were there and it did not give an error message when i uninstalled 1.09 or reinstalled 1.08.
