[Fred066]

<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=referer">$txt['referer3']</a><br />

This is Correkt:
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=referer">' . $txt['referer3'] . '</a><br />

[Spaceman-Spiff]

ah sorry, forgot that one when changing the hard coded text

fixed, pls redownload the zip file

[Daniel D.]

German:

$txt['referer1'] = 'Verweis (optional)';
$txt['referer2'] = 'Trage hier den (Spitz-)Namen der Person oder die Quelle ein, von der Du über das Forum gehört hast.';
$txt['referer3'] = 'Zeige Verweise an';
$txt['referer4'] = 'Verweis';
$txt['referer5'] = 'Keine Verweise';

Referer is a crappity smacking damn word in german

When installed - is it possible to view the members with most referrals?

New members aren't able to register they get told to report and error to Admin.

Awesome, my members were just recently talking about a feature like this.  Any chance that it adds the referrer to the memberlist table too?
This will save me some coding myself now, cool!

have u run referer_dbmod.php?
u can go to admin center -> view error log, and see what the error is

When installed - is it possible to view the members with most referrals?

it can be done, but the problem is, the registering users can type differently for one person if he/she doesn't know the exact nickname of the referer, example, he/she could type: Spaceman-Spiff, spaceman spiff, or spaceman

That wouldn't be that big of a deal, would it?  Most of the time you would get what the person meant and if it the name was tortured that bad, someone could go back and edit it manually.

hello..

I just installed this using boardmod ..

It works well except I don't get the "View Referers" link in my admin panel

Here's how boardmod installed it:

<form action="' . $scripturl . '?action=viewinactive" method="post">
                        <font size="2">
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=referer">' . $txt['referer3'] . '</a><br />
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=viewmembers">' . $txt[5] . '</a><br />
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=modmemgr">' . $txt[8] . '</a><br />
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=mailing">' . $txt[6] . '</a><br />
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=ipban">' . $txt[206] . '</a><br />
                           <a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=setreserve">' . $txt[207] . '</a><br /><br />
                           ' . $txt['yse71'] . ' <input type="text" name="mindays" size="2" maxlength="3" value="30" /> ' . $txt['yse72'] . '
                           <input type="submit" value="' . $txt[305] . '" />
                        </font>
                     </form>

The function works ok when i call out ...yabbse/index.php?action=referer..just no link in the admin panel

I'm running pfabb, if that makes a difference
Any help ?

Thanks
