Ultimate Referrals Mod Support (Modzzz) - part 3

Thanks Modzzz for clarifying,

Regards.

Hi Modzzz,

The Modzzz Referrals and Points mods are MUST-HAVE mods for anyone seriously interested in growing his/her Dolphin business fast. Congratulations for these mods!

There is just a small thing that I've found in the referrals mod that could have been improved. The "My Referral link block" is too difficult to find. It is hidden at the bottom of the account page, after the Friends Timeline block. It should have been more visible and accessible since it's one of the blocks that should be advertised the most in order to encourage members to refer the site.

I've created a string language _ReferralDescription to be displayed in the "My Referral link block" with some texts describing the referral program.

Also I wanted to display the "My Referral link block" in the Referrals home page (/m/referral/home/). So I've created a PHP block to output the Referral link with the code snippet you created and posted here in the forum:

$oModule = BxDolModule::getInstance('BxReferralModule');

$sReferralLink = $oModule->getRefferalLink();

echo  $sReferralLink;

@DigitZup - I will update the module with suggestions made. After you have created Banners in the Admin section of the module, they can be accessed on the site at http://www.yoursite.com/m/referral/banners

Hey Modzzz, you are the best. Thanks a lot for standing behind your products and for listening. We will be waiting for the update. :)

Regards.

Hi Modzzz,

Sorry for asking, any idea on when will the next update be released? Thanks.

I read in a very old post somewhere that this mod will issue Unique urls for each invitation.

Is that true?

I want a site that does NOT give access with just the simple:

http://somedomain.com/?idFriend=1

You demo site has a banner page, but it uses the same code.
<a href='http://www.dolphinmods.com/demo2/tester?idFriend=2'><img src="http://www.dolphinmods.com/demo2/modules/modzzz/referral/media/images/banners/1513692864.jpg" /></a>

@achapman601 - for unique code per invitation but you can check out the Registration by Invitation module which does that.

Dear Referral Support,

When I run the sqlcredits.php from my domain as indicated in the instructions I get a database error.  What did I do wrong?

@AlexisAgatho - You are trying to integrate Credits with Referrals without having the Credits module installed. You have to first install the Credits module found at https://www.boonex.com/m/credits then go ahead with the integration

My site is really locked down.  When the user gives out the banner, it brings it to their profile page.  However I have the profiles LOCKED DOWN.  So the banner code leads to a not allowed page. 

Is there something I need to turn on in their profile, or another way?

Thank you.

@just4me99 - Go to the module settings in the Admin section and change the configuration so that referral links point to the site homepage instead.

Dear Jerome,

It has been more than a year since I wrote you the message above and you promised saying 'I will update the module with suggestions made'. One year later, I am still waiting.

Would you mind providing the solution to the suggestions above as promised?

Please, can you help with how to display the exact same block than the default "My Referral link block" in the Referrals home page (/m/referral/home/)?

Hi Jerome

Great mod as ever! One question, what is the difference between Site Email and Member Email? I can’t seem to see one. 

For a future update could it be possible to have the ability to resend the invite email?

Thanks

Site Email refers to the Administration Email for the site. Member Email will be the email attached to each member Profile.

Hi Jerome

The tellafriend.php on my site is not picking up any of the sites design.  I just have a white page with the form. I have none of the usual header, footer or menu showing.  Would you be able to take a look for me?

Thanks

Steve

@serksine - The module has it's own version of tellfriend.php that needs to be uploaded to the site. Check the readme.txt

Hi @Modzzz , I am testing the Ultimate Referrals mod and the invitation emails are not being sent. I am testing on my local machine (http://localhost:8888/tellfriend.php) before installing on the live site. Do you know what I can do to fix this? Thanks

Have you confirmed that the site is sending emails (when members join etc.)?

Also, check the modzzz_referral_pending table to see if the referrals are being recorded in the database.

Hi @Modzzz I was not able to get the cron job working on localhost so I tested on the server and it is working fine.
