Invite System

This application enables your community to use an invitation system for new registrations, which can be made mandatory based on your settings. When enabled, a valid invitation code will be required to create a new account in your community.

Public side features:

• Users can send invitations on Account Settings → Invitations.

• A new icon is added to the board top (beside Notifications and Messenger) to display the converted invitees and the user's number of invites. This icon also shows the remaining invitations for the member (just like how many users are online on Chat).

• 2 widgets: Top Inviters (per week, month, year, and general) and Latest Converted Invitees, which are invitations converted to membership.

• Shows "Invited by" on the user profile and profile card (hover on the user link).

• Tab on the user profile to display their invitees (converted invitations)

• Notification to the member who invited someone when an account is created using their invitation

• Campaigns:

  • You can bring the Invite System to the real world by using campaigns, where people can register using the same code for a given number of days or until a limit of registration is reached.

  • Campaigns DO NOT send emails. The purpose is to use its code somewhere else.

  • Campaigns are independent of the invitation system, so you can simply leave it disabled if you don't want to use it.

  • You can also use invitations and campaigns together.

• More.

Settings:

• Enable Invite System

• Require an Invitation to Register an Account

• Restore deleted or expired invitation

• Display the popup Invitations link on the board top.

• Display the total remaining invitations

• Invitation Expires after X days

• Earn one Invitation at every X new content posted

• More.

ACP Features:

• Invitations Management: a place where you can see the status of each invitation. The statuses are PENDING, CONVERTED, and EXPIRED. You can invite people, and delete or resend invitations. You can also create batch invitations, to be used on a campaign or to be posted elsewhere. It won't send any emails.

• Bonus form: you can give invitations to a specific member or a whole member group

• Integration with Commerce

Notes:

• It doesn't work in Commerce registration (if you have packages in the register screen).

• Since hooks cannot be used, a few options have been removed in this version.

When I click the "Copy" button for any member group in the Admin Panel's User Groups section (I am not using the copy button to create a new group for convenience), I receive the following error. I wrote it here because I think it's related to the Invite plugin. Even though I receive this error, the group is still created on the User Groups page.

Are you clicking or not in the COPY button? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Ops sorry. :))
there was a typo. I click the button, and when I do, I receive this error.

Hello,

The error I get when trying to create a new user group in the admin panel.

What's New in Version 3.0.1.1:

• Fix errors when creating a new group

I am considering getting this to have a contest to see who can get the most new members to join in a month.

If the inviting member does it wrong, let's say they just talk to a coworker and get them to join, can I go in as an admin and attribute the membership to the person who suggested it?

Thanks

Nope.

Not sure I follow. The member will send a unique invitation code. Only those who were invited will be aware of the code. The code is used to tie the member who invited.

I send the email to my members. These are clinical lab workers, many are not computer savvy.

Joe talks to Jane and says there is a contest, and if he can get the most people to join, he'll win a prize.

Jane asks him what the site is, and Joe tells her how to get there.

Jane then joins.

Joe sends me a PM and says he got Jane to join.

Am I able to make an entry into the table below that indicates Jane joined because of Joe?

I know this will happen a lot. I have thousands of members. The young ones will be fine, but the older ones, not so much.

You don’t send a message or “talk” to someone. An email is sent via the app with the invitation code. The invitee needs to inform this code in the registration screen. The code tells me who invited and that’s how both members are tied.

I understand how it's supposed to work, I'm just trying to explain my reality.

I'll send an email to almost 6k members, many of them will mess up.

It's OK, I'll probably still get it and figure out something. I see I can export, that's awesome, I can just add them to the spreadsheet.

I am getting this error:

I installed this a couple of weeks ago and didn’t see any errors. I see Quest in your error so probably something has changed in 5.0.10. I obviously don’t use IPS Cloud hosting. Will try installing it on a 5.0.10 and will reply later.

I see the error.

What's New in Version 3.0.2:

• Fix the issue in the achievement extension that causes an error during app install on IPS cloud hosting.

Small issue, but as I mentioned above, I have a lot of challenged users.

If you have memberships you can purchase, and click "No thanks, continue without purchasing", the invitation code is not carried over.

I suspect it also does not carry over if you do purchase a membership.

By membership you mean a subscription in the Commerce “registration” screen? No, it extends the Core regular registration only.

Yes, I call them memberships on my site, but they are the stock memberships that I imagine many people use.

That's a shame that it will not carry the code to the next page. I imagine many people will not be able to do that. Like I said, these people are lab workers, not IT folks, most of them will not enter the code on the next page.

It's not that I want it; the Commerce form isn't included in the Form extension.

Thanks for the info.

Can you provide instructions for how to edit the email that the invitee receives?

I'd like to include info about "you must copy and paste the code so the person inviting you receives credit".

Thanks
