Referral System.

[JoshieDaMan]

I am looking for referral system where people can referr and get them to signup, then have "Referr: The name that they referred" and also a top list of referrer.

Is this possible? Or is there one mod already made? Which I am current using 1.1.3.

My beta version of a referral mod is awaiting approval,

Great! I got that mod:D Now, I am wondering how can I make more than five top referral in the stats section?

[karlbenson]

There isnt a quick/easy setting.

You'd need to alter the mysql to get more than the top 5.

Oh, ok. Another last question about this. I am wondering how can I put textarea field with that referral link so it can be easier for member to grab?

Thanks a lot!

[karlbenson]

I've been considering changing it to a textbox. or alternatively putting a icon with some javascript to the left of it which copies it to your clipboard.

For the moment, it would require altering the profile.template.php
And putting before the start of the link
<input type="text" value="

and after it

" width="200px"/>

*you may have to change the 200px to fit the whole url if your domain name is long or short.

So, like this.

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

echo '<tr>
<td colspan="2"><b>'.$txt['referrals_link'].'</b></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;">'.$scripturl.'?referredby='. $context['member']['id'] .'</td>
</tr>';

To-

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

echo '<tr>
<td colspan="2"><b>'.$txt['referrals_link'].'</b></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><input type="text" value="'.$scripturl.'?referredby='. $context['member']['id'] .'width="200px"/></td>
</tr>';

?

[karlbenson]

yeah (almost),
your just missing the closing " after the link (before the width bit)

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna


echo '<tr>
<td colspan="2"><b>'.$txt['referrals_link'].'</b></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><input type="text" value="'.$scripturl.'?referredby='. $context['member']['id'] .'" width="200px"/></td>
</tr>';

That code, you provide isn't working correctly. But, however I worked a little bit my way, but you are welcome to update your script with the code I will provide you how to use the correct of textarea.

Koodi [Valitse] Laajenna

<td colspan="2"><b>'.$txt['referrals_link'].'</b></td></tr>
<tr><td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><textarea class="textform" rows="1" cols="50" onclick="this.select();">'.$scripturl.'?referredby='. $context['member']['id'] .'</textarea></td>

[karlbenson]

I guess you put it in a textarea.

To be honest, I think I'm going to just put an icon to copy it rather than a box. (but at the moment, I'm in the middle of re-writing my adrevenuesharing mod from scratch.

[JoshieDaMan]

Are you talking about when you click in the text area, then the icon showed up saying that it's copied?

[karlbenson]

The url itself would be as is in the 'default' referral mod - just non-active text.
To the right would be a little icon which when clicked would add the url to your clipboard.
(think of the smilie as the icon)

http://www.youposted.com/index.php?referredby=1 ; 

or alternatively something like

http://www.youposted.com/index.php?referredby=1   [copy to clipboard]

Hello, I have another question regarding to this mod. I am wondering if there's a way I can make another top referral.

I don't want to clear the current top referral, but I want another one that I can clear it any time I want, because I run referral contest sometime.

[karlbenson]

There is no way to do that with the modification.

I'm unsure whether I'll add such a feature because I'm trying to keep the mod as a Simple Referral system.  There are already far more stats than I had planned.

It would be possible for you or someone else to write a query between between any dates you specify. (querying 'referredon' column of members table [which is a timestamp])
