Referrer links

[DarkDelight.net]

What is the correct form of a forum url with a referrer id and can it link to anywhere or must it be to the registration page?

Thanks.

I'll quote from the FAQ
As a tip: You can put the link in the UserCP of a member, so they can see what their link is


What are referrals?

The administrator may have enabled referrals, which allows you to be credited for any new users you invite to the forum.

You gain referrals by promoting vBulletin Community Forum using your unique referral link. The link you should use as your referral link is this:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/index.php?referrerid=11606

Each time someone follows this link to vBulletin Community Forum and registers as a new member, your referral count will be incremented by one. The number of referrals you have can be viewed in your profile.

Your administrator will have more information on any prizes or rewards that may be given out for referrals. Please be courteous when promoting vBulletin Community Forum by not spamming other web sites with your referral link just to gain referrals.

How do you turn on the option so that the users can see their referral link in their UserCP?

Thanks

There's no such option, but you can add the link manually to the templates.

Which template would you edit to achieve this?

[Colin F]

You could add it in the USERCP_SHELL or the USERCP template.
