This is Social Networking at it's simplist form. How does a Social Network grow? by allowing your users to invite their friends which will automatically add them to the invitors friend list as they accept the invitation.

MySpace.com
Orkut.com
Friendster.com
Linkedin.com

the list goes on and on and on......

here's a basic breakdown.

user invites a friend via email
friend gets the email
friend clicks on a private link to accept the invitation
friend is taken to a private registration page
friend fills out registration
friend is added to the invitors connection list

It really blows my mind that this isn't a standard feature in CB.

read the first post here for a detailed list of features for such an invite system.

cheers...

A mind is a thing that must not be wasted ... or blown away.

;)

I read on these forums that Trail is working on a CB plugin that does this.

The CB plugin API allows developers to create such robust features and hook them into CB.

You can contact Trail and support this effort (money or code) to get this done faster if you want.

I fixed the Invite A Friend registration issue, albeit rather rudimentary.

Sorry need abit of advice here.

1. I having problem with invitee registration. When invitee click on the invitation email, they are brought to CB registeration form. This part is ok.

2. Email shown up as per referral invitation email to invitee - OK

3. When invitee fill up the registration, he is bring to You are not authorized to view this resource. You need to login.

No email activation is being sent from the system and cannot login as per registeration.

I belive is the following code that i place wrongly:
<?php
if ($option == "com_invite") {?>
<input type="hidden" name="ref_str" value="<?php echo $_GET; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ref_email" value="<?php echo $_GET; ?>" />
<?php
}
?>


[code:1] <input type="hidden" name="id" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="gid" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="emailpass" value="<?php echo $emailpass;?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="<?php echo $option; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="saveregisters" />
<?php
if ($option == "com_invite"«») {?>
<input type="hidden" name="ref_str" value="<?php echo $_GET; ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="ref_email" value="<?php echo $_GET; ?>" />
<?php
}
?>[/code:1]

Appreciate if anyone can help.

By the way, i am using CB 1.0.2
