James,

Can you explain this feature a little further and how it works? I'd like to do the same for my members, so they can start to use this feature.

[JamesUS]

Basically as long as you have enabled Referrers in Options, existing members can refer new members to the boards. Members should send new people to the link mentioned above, or ask them to key in the referrer's username when registering.
If you have beta 3 you can see someone's referral total in their profile, or from the CP in any beta.

[RobAC]

Very cool. Thanks James!

I just dont get it work if i fill in as exapmle

http://www.gsmguru.com/forum/index.php?referrid=acsirp


And i signe up as an user.. then i dont see a extra referral in acsirp here profile ??? please help

[steven]

instead of using the username use the number
http://yourforums.com/forums/index.php?referrid=1 which ever user number you are giving credit to for the signup

[GsmGuru]

isnt there a simple way that the members can look this up? so they know the url???

[steven]

the url is YOUR FORUMS and their member number, so if I'm the tenth member who registered on your site, and I wanted to help you get more members, I would use the following url
http://www.gsmguru.com/forum/index.php?referrid=10
get it?

Also make sure that this feature is turned on in your Control panel

I made a little script to display the user's referrer url

http://edevboards.com/referrer.php

This won't work for a guest (so I'll have to code that in). But anyway all you need to do is code it somewhere in the CP.

The 'email this page to a friend' link in beta 4 now contains your referrerid, so you don't need to add it manually anymore :)

[jojo85]

Ok....sorry :(

[-DLoH-hammer]

someone can tell me what must i write in postbit to show number of reffers a user has in each post under the username ?

$referral dont work !

plz help

[Freddie Bingham]

Refer to this link for more info http://vbulletin.com/forum/misc.php?s=&action=faq&page=1#referrals

I see some of you are using referrid which is incorrect.

[-DLoH-hammer]

k but i need to add a field in postbit under username

like

Referrals 0

need the code to add there



:confused:

[Freddie Bingham]

A running total of a user's referral count isn't kept. You would have to add queries to get that information.

You would be very hard pressed to be able to hack the already massive showthread query to include that. Your best alternative would be to get the userid's that are going to be shown on the page and then run a query to get the totals (look at the referral queries in the CP to get some pointers). Then stick them in an array according to the userid and then reference the array in the while loop that outputs each post.

OK again look its your postbit :)
