Can someone please explain to me what's so bad about being able to see another person's referral link? Anyone with a brain can figure it out...

I guess its to do with them feeling they have a privacy thing, control of their details that is revealed to the public.
Not everyone knows how to find this, or do that, so wont understand.
Basically if I have more than a handful of people concerned about about something, if it is a reasonable request, I find it my duty to ease their minds :)

No matter how often you mention that it is their ID number, and how to find it for each user... to people new to online activities, and some veterans, this doesnt help to make them feel secure/at ease.
With the web being soo large, and hearing of peoples accounts/details etc being hi jacked, feeling secure at the site you frequent is a tiny request.

I guess, you show people only what you want them to see.

But who knows.. lol
Everyone is different, so you expect different reactions to certain things.
Tis the way of the force young skywalker lol ;)
Do NOT give admin and/or ftp details to just anybody, see if they are trust worthy first!!  Do your homework ;)

When I found out your referral link, what am I going to do with it... get you more referrals?

oh and for anyone reading this... it's already in Profile.template.php, all you have to do is remove the // at the beginning of the line before it.

@YodaOfDarkness: can't their be something done to let see in the profile something like,  invited by:

Fustrate

Yes, it's very possible. I'm working on another mod right now, though, so it'll have to wait a few days.

Okey, thanks for your fast reaction.
Your mods are very good.

Keep on the good work

Darkness_

A little refer again :$

Could it be possible to make a page.
Where we can see, who invited how many.
And where we can see the dates of registration off users that have been invited

Fustrate

Next version, guys. next version. I've got seven mods I'm working on, and since this one works as it should, it's near the back of the line.

Uhm, is there any way i can reset this every month?
I want to hold contests...

Fustrate

Sure, in phpMyAdmin run this query:
UPDATE smf_members
SET referrals_no = '', referrals_hits = '', referred_by = '', referred_on = ''
WHERE 1=1

If that fails, remove the _s and try again.

Snap, an idea for the next version perhaps is a monthly stats table?

Back to the current version though I'm having problems with my stats page. The mod installed beautifully but when I look at my Forum History the Page View stats seem to have jumped column in the expanded view. How can I fix this?
Thanks for any help + a great mod

Darkness_

YodaofDarkness when could you help me out for a statistics page?

Fustrate

I'm still quite busy with other things, so all of the extra things for this mod will have to wait.

As for using a name to refer (like you asked in that other thread) it's do-able, I'll try to post it later today.

Any thoughts on solving the stats page bug though?

Appoligies, I should have posted one the first time :)

I'm running a custom theme but I have checked and the same thing happens on the standard theme.
