Referral ModIntroductionA simple modification for members to refer new members and see who referred who.
Features- Adds a referral link to each users profile area
- Users can then paste the link to whoever they want to invite - suitable for email, signatures, messengers, web pages, forums etc
- When a guest/visitor uses the referral link a 'tracking' cookie is placed on their computer, so they can browse away from the link and register on your forum up to 60 days later (unless cookies are deleted) with the referral credited to the referring user.
- If no referral cookie is found, prospective members can type in a name to be their referral
- Adds 2 Referral stats section showing;
:: Top 5 Referrers (By Referrals)
:: Top 5 Referrers (By Referred Members Posts)
:: Daily/Monthly/Yearly Referrals Stats
- Total Referrals of each user shown in the poster information of each post
- Referrals information shown in Profile Summary
:: Shows referral link in profile
:: Shows number of referrals
:: Dropdown showing each member user has referred (Linked to the members profile pages)
:: Referral Hits (a.k.a number of clicks on your referral link)
- Referred member information also shown in Profile Summary
:: If user was referred, shows the user who referred them and the original date of referral
Here is an example of the link found in your profile (this is from my profile):
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=register;referredby=1 (
http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?action=register;referredby=1) <- don't use this link, get one from your own profile
When people find this forum by clicking that link, I get credited for referral. Top Referrers will win prizes and possibly even a title/job of some kind.
