[Beta 1.54/1.55] Referral Rewards System

[oldiesmann]

Description: This mod adds a handy system to your board to encourage people to refer others to the board by rewarding them for every user they refer to the board based on levels set by the admin. It can use the built-in karma system or its own seperate points system depending on which version you install.

Features:

• Logging - see who got rewarded how many points when
  
• List - see who has referred members and how many members they have referred
  
• Levels - Admin can set multiple "levels" for rewards by specifying the minimum number of users a member has to refer and how many points to reward. This allows you to control how many points are awarded and lets you set a minimum number of referrals needed before any points are rewarded.

I spent half the afternoon testing this mod, and I'm pretty sure I've gotten any bugs out of it, but if you find any, let me know.

Download: Coming back soon

EDIT: Currently working on integrating this mod with my mod. If you want this mod, please wait a bit while I work on things. Also, my host has been having a lot of problems lately, so if you've had problems downloading this, that's why.

I'm trying this one out. This is something I would absolutely LOVE! Thanks, oman!

[Coyote]

This certainly looks cool.

Im gonna try it tonight.

Thanks!

[HyperDev]

Mm, converted it to a YaBBpak, and it worked OK, but I had to edit English.lng by hand.

Didn't really understand it much even after reading the readme.

Also, I can't add referral levels.

An Error Has Occurred!

2: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource
(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\hyperdev\hdf\Sources\Referral.php ln 139)

EDIT: phpMyAdmin is working for now.

[oldiesmann]

Ok. That's a bug.

Go into Referral.php and add this line in the updateRewards2() function:

$getRewards = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$db_prefix}rewards");

Also, I found a bug. I used $modsettings instead of $modSettings in several places.

Open up Display.php, Profile.php and Register.php and replace every occurrence of $modsettings with $modSettings.

As for the readme, I'm sorry for confusing you. It's hard to explain without screenshots.

[HyperDev]

So how do people GET referrals?

[oldiesmann]

By getting other people to join the board and say that they referred them

Example: UserA gets UserB to join the board. When UserA registers, they put UserB's name in the "Referrer" field, and UserA gets points for referring UserB to the board.

[HyperDev]

Man, you have no faith in automation, do you?

[oldiesmann]

What? That thing's about as automated as it's gonna get...

[Coyote]

Hmmm... Thats a shame.

Would of been great if you could have grabbed the referers name from a variable in the URL.

[oldiesmann]

Oh... Sorry... Wasn't thinking of it that way. That's easy to do really. Go into Register.php:

Search for:

Code Select Expand

if($modSettings['enablerewards'] == '1')
{

Add this after that:

Code Select Expand

$referrer = isset($_GET['referrer']) ? '$_GET[referrer]' : '';

Then

Search for:

Code Select Expand

<input type="text" name="referrer" />

Replace with:

Code Select Expand

<input type="text" name="referrer" value="' . $referrer . '"

I didn't even think about doing it that way. Great idea.

I havent looked at your code yet - as it wasnt automated - but it looks like it is now

So from what you have changed in your code below - its now possible for members to put a link on another site like this......

Go here its a fantastic website
http:\\www.mydomain.com\yabbse\index.php?membername

It would be nice if the path was shorter, but I guess trickery and magic could be done there?

Well done so far

[oldiesmann]

Well, I don't know how you'd do a shorter path. I know you could easily redirect them to register.php, but not sure where you'd put that code...

[Coyote]

I was thinking of some kind of mod rewrite - but Im not sure about parsing vars with one ??
