[REQ] Social Media Invite Plugin - Preston - 04-15-2013

Okay so I saw a post that got deleted due to a back up that had what I needed.


I am pretty sure it was a facebook module that worked with the referral system.


If you have anything that invites users from social sites using referral links could you please post it Smile

Yes it was our post that had the details in Preston - we're a bit busy at the moment with another business launch but as soon as I get time I'll re-post.

Here's the method we used for adding a feature for members to invite friends from social networks + email + Yahoo/GMail/Hotmail address books with their referral link embedded.

We started with the free email a friend widget from www.smartaddon.com and then tuned it to our needs.

AS ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR PAGE FILE FIRST Big Grin

To start we need to pull the referral link info from the database by adding this to the top of the page you want the invite friends module in

PHP Code:
Hidden content for guests 

Then add this code where you want the feature

PHP Code:
Hidden content for guests 

Save and upload page and test. You will find that some networks don't display the whole URL - but the referral link IS embedded in the link.

AS ALWAYS PES UPDATES MAY OVERWRITE ANY CUSTOM PAGE CHANGES SO KEEP A COPY OF THIS SCRIPT IN CASE YOU NEED TO REINSTALL IT

I hope you find this useful - it took a lot of Heart to get it working so please if you use this method, say thanks to my team by buying us a coffee from the link below.
