Referral System

[vbgamer45]

The file would be in the themes/default/ folder

[N i g h t m a r e]

okay i have that file opened now with  Notepad++ i just need to know what to look for and what to change...

[vbgamer45]

Search for the refferals code

[N i g h t m a r e]

i found this while searching for "Referrals"

Code Select Expand

// Start Refferals System

echo '
<dt>', $txt['ref_refferals'] , '</dt>
<dd>', $context['member']['referrals_no'], '</dd>
';
// Refferals Link
if ($modSettings['ref_showreflink'])
if ($context['user']['is_admin'] || $context['user']['is_owner'])
echo '

<dt>', $txt['ref_refferal_link'], '</dt>
<dd><input type="text" size="50" value="', $scripturl, '?action=refferals;refferedby=', $context['member']['id'], '" /></dd>
';



// End Refferals System



What exactly do i change?

[vbgamer45]

Not sure looks like using a custom theme but you would need to move that code to a different spot if it is too big for the area that you have now.

For some reason, my referral points are going to the referred member, instead of the referee so to speak. Does anyone have any idea why?

Yes, it's a bug that I have attempted to get the author to address permanently and am going to fix in my version soon as my free programming time permits, but let me explain what I'm pretty sure you are experiencing by first asking a question. Do 'any' of your members have more than one referral? Take a peek at the statistics page on my site and you'll see only my profile listed in that section of the stats, but what is in reality a hack so that only members with 2 or more referrals listed in the top ten list on both sides of the page. This is because I'm pretty certain that what is happening behind the "no error log entry producing" scene is that the system is allowing the newly registering member to use the same username as the one he/she/it has chosen for himself as a username and the system is not validating the existing member database to throw up a fatal error msg & prevent the user to do that, thus a point is falsely awarded... you'll find that the social site scammer/spammer wannabe's are the main violators.

Spent a half hour this morning looking at the code.. I do not see how that can be possible.

Gonna go test my theory in a minute, but vbgamer if you'll read my previous post, the scenario I present has been an issue with this mod since the beginning.

Does this have any code that can be called to show say the top 5 referrers ?

[vbgamer45]

Not at the moment.

If you will visit my site and have a peek at the statistics page, I can fix you up with the same customization I have done to this mod for a nominal price...

Meh have you seen this guy try and clone my website lol funny.

Anyhow, is there anyway to track who has referred who, other than just numbers?

This is entirely do-able, been meaning to customize that very thing for quite some time, just haven't had the incentive to put it high on the priority list...

So with the current system is does track more than just numbers at the moment? And records who has referred who in the database.
I could write something myself depending on what's stored in the database.

Almost correct, it records who's who, but they are numbers as well, but its an easy task to convert the numbers into names, just don't get confused on which is which, referrer or referee...

I suppose that would be easy todo.. Could do a select query where member name = context member profile viewing.
Select member_name where referred by = context member

Just would need somewhere to show who referred who.. Thanks, the system is nice.. I gonna use this and edit it a little.
Its complete.. Gonna find a nice place to show who referred who...


Edit:I think a little popup would be about right, where they would click on the number of referrals and it would produce a little popup showing the members names who they referred.

example

Code Select Expand

echo '<a href="javascript:window.open(\''.$boardurl.'/Sources/referrals.php?action=referredby\',\'Referrals\',\'width=600,height=294,resizable=1\');void(0);" title="View Referrals">REFERRALS NUMBER HERE FROM TEMPLATE</a>';

Then have the if isset there to do the query in SQL.. I'll knock it up sometime this week or next.
