There is a minor issue in plugins/AP_invitation.php.

Please go to line 465 and change

if($group != '')  {

to

if($group != 'all')  {

I fixed that in the downloads

Hi,

Try to take out the <a href.. part in include/mod_invitation.php on line 31.
Replace

     $mtext = $form['invitation_text'] . "\n".$lang_invitation['Forum Link']."<a href='".$act_link."'>".$act_link."</a>";

with

     $mtext = $form['invitation_text'] . "\n".$lang_invitation['Forum Link'].": " . $act_link;

Some clients don't interprete this right, some, however, need it.

Otherwise I don't know why your people get this error. Maybe they have cookies switched off?

Where exactly would $lang_invitation['Forum Link'] be defined?

There's a dedicated file invitation.php in the lang/YOURLANG directory.

I basically just put everything I wanted in via quotation marks

Shouldn't be necessary to do it like that but if it works now - why change it?

Any particular reason that this script changes me from an administrator on my install to a regular user when I login?  It happens every bloodly time.

Edit:  nevermind. I accidentally commented out the line

if ($group_id == PUN_UNVERIFIED)

LOL

Edit2:  I made a modification that some may find useful.  On my site, I've got another class of users called FrontPageSignup.  Basically, anyone who signs up by just coming to the site is put into this group and can only see 3 forums on the site. However, I have about 20 forums that the moderators and regular members can see.  Basically, my forum is for my friends with a few devoted to my webpage.   I don't want joe-schmoe coming in off the internet and reading what we're posting.  So...to get past this, I made the following changes on register.php

before the $db->query(INSERT' Line around line 210, add the following:

if($_POST['code'] != ''){
        $g_num = '4';
        }
        else $g_num = '6';

group 4 is a regular user who can see all the forums on my site.  group 6 is the aforementioned FrontPageSignup group.


Then in the INSERT query itself, instead of using .$intial_group_id. in the query, use .$g_num. instead.  I tested and it works great. 

I could have probably changed this code in register.php:

//MOD INVITATION: Validate invitation
    if($_POST['code'] != '')  {
      $code = pun_trim($_POST['code']);
      include_once(PUN_ROOT ."include/invitation_db.php");
      $inviter = checkInvitation($email1,$code);
      if(!is_numeric($inviter))  error('Unable to verify invitation'.$inviter, __FILE__, __LINE__, $inviter);
      }
    else $inviter = 0;
//END MOD INVITATION

to be this:

//MOD INVITATION: Validate invitation
    if($_POST['code'] != '')  {
      $code = pun_trim($_POST['code']);
      include_once(PUN_ROOT ."include/invitation_db.php");
      $inviter = checkInvitation($email1,$code);
          $g_num = '4';
      if(!is_numeric($inviter))  error('Unable to verify invitation'.$inviter, __FILE__, __LINE__, $inviter);
      }
    else {
          $inviter = 0;
          $g_num = '6';
         }
//END MOD INVITATION

but I didn't know if anything would get mucked up in doing so.  I may yet try that to streamline things.  Having the if statement before that works out well.  Hope someone gets some use out of this.

I'm just starting to learn php and can already tell I'm going to loveit.  XD

Oh yeah...you also spelled initial wrong in your variable assignment for group id, but you did it consistently so its all good. 


DOH!  One more thought.  If you do this, you should probably put an if statement into the profile.php file where the include line is to make sure the current users group is not equal to the one you don't want to see the forums.  Otherwise, people in that group can send out invitations and the recipients will be able to see the hidden forums.

And when I try to change setting for my user groups the following messege occur:

"An error was encountered
Error: Unable to update group. "

I'm using PunBB 2.1.10

I think I have located the problem to step 39 in the readme.txt.

#
#---------[ 38. FIND (line:261) ]-----------------------------------------------------
#

    $db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'groups SET g_title=\''.$db->escape($title).'\', g_user_title='.$user_title.', g_read_board='.$read_board.', g_post_replies='.$post_replies.', g_post_topics='.$post_topics.', g_edit_posts='.$edit_posts.', g_delete_posts='.$delete_posts.', g_delete_topics='.$delete_topics.', g_set_title='.$set_title.', g_search='.$search.', g_search_users='.$search_users.', g_edit_subjects_interval='.$edit_subjects_interval.', g_post_flood='.$post_flood.', g_search_flood='.$search_flood.' WHERE g_id='.$_POST['group_id']) or error('Unable to update group', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

    $db->query('UPDATE '.$db->prefix.'groups SET g_title=\''.$db->escape($title).'\', g_user_title='.$user_title.', g_read_board='.$read_board.', g_post_replies='.$post_replies.', g_post_topics='.$post_topics.', g_edit_posts='.$edit_posts.', g_delete_posts='.$delete_posts.', g_delete_topics='.$delete_topics.', g_set_title='.$set_title.', g_search='.$search.', g_search_users='.$search_users.', g_edit_subjects_interval='.$edit_subjects_interval.', g_post_flood='.$post_flood.', g_search_flood='.$search_flood.' , g_invitations='.$invitations.' WHERE g_id='.$_POST['group_id']) or error('Unable to update group', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());

What to do?

Here you have invitation.php for spanish speaking people:

// Language definitions used in viewforum.php in spanish
$lang_invitation = array(
'Invitations'    =>    'Invitaciones',
'New Invitations'    =>    'Crear nuevas invitaciones',
'Send Invitation' => 'Enviar invitación',
'Request Invitation' => 'Solicitar invitación',
'Recipient'=>'Recipient',
'Number'=>'Número',
'Message'=>'Mensaje',
'You have'=>'Te quedan',
'Invitations left'=>'invitaciones',
'No code'=>'No tenés invitaciones disponibles',
'Mail Subject Invitation'=>'Invitación a CompradoresOnline!',
'Forum Link'=>'Ingresar',
'No Permission'=>'No tienes permisos para realizar esta acción',
'Invitation redirect'            =>    'Invitación enviada. Redirigiendo... …',
'Invited By'=> 'Invitado por'
);

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

$mtext = $form['invitation_text'] . "\n".$lang_invitation['Forum Link'].": " . $act_link;

Thanks, this worked.

 //    $pp = split("/",$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
 //    array_pop($pp);
     $act_link = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/register.php?invite=".$code;

This also worked and fix the url to invite a friend!

"An error was encountered
Error: Unable to update group. "

Hi there,

I installed the mod, although, my profile.php has quit working.   All I get is a blank page.

You can see my forum here:
http://www.whatistheamazon.com/forum/
and the profile.php:
http://www.whatistheamazon.com/forum/profile.txt

What am I missing?  How can I fix this as quick as possible?

Thanks for your reply (in advance)

Err, I can see profiles just fine =/

Hello,

Can I use this mod with PunBB 1.2.14 ?

Thx

Thank you very much

you go to the admin plugin, then give invitations to people to give out
then they go to there profile and it sends an email out to people with a link
