Coding / How to get credits for Referrals (Using Referrals Mod)

« on: November 12, 2007, 04:59:01 am »

Many people (like me) want a referral mod in which we can get credits from. I searched around and couldnt find it here, so I looked elsewhere. Anyways, I found something that will work amazingly!

First, install the referrals mod:
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=836

After installing it the usual way through the package manager, use your ftp program to download Register.php from /Sources.

Once you have that file, open it with an editor (like notepad) and find the following line:

Code: [Select]

// updateMemberData((int) $_POST['referredby'], array('money' => 'money + 100',));(the needed code is conveniently already in the mod)

Remove the two slashes and the space after it (// ) and set the 100 to whatever amount of credits you want your members to receive when the referral is signed up. Save the file and upload it to your Sources Folder. (You should back up the other one incase rather than over writing it) Now, when someone is referred using their referral ID, they will get credits and it will show the number of referrals in their profile that they've gotten.

I posted this incase anyone wasn't aware that this could be done so easily!

Coding / Referal Points

« on: February 19, 2007, 12:39:38 pm »

I wanna be able to give 1000 points to all the people who refer someone else, but I'm too lazy to do it every time. Is there any plan to add this in a future version of SMF Shop? With the list of people who've been referred and how many points they received from the referrals. Maybe in the next release? I've tried the affiliates mod, but I don't wanna use that because its confusing with the $ thing. Might there be a way to modify the points from the affiliates mod to go with the shop points? Anyway, this is something I'd like to see happen if anyone is up for this job, or if you, Daniel15, want to add it to the next version. It would be the best thing to help get members!
