[nodebb-plugin-user-invitations] Allow users to invite new users!

Yep yep. Definitely, better to get your forum updated. However, I'm sure I could backport it if necessary. Other than the template, I'm not really depending on anything in NodeBB.

@reid I think it's better to pay to get the theme compatible and upgrade NodeBB.

I agree! I'm just not sure how much it'd cost as the theme is quite complex (a modified version of Majestic) and I haven't got all too much money to spend right now.

Updated plugin to v1.0.0

@reid Sorry, this turned out to be too complex of a back-port, I'm about 50% there, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to finish it. Send me a note if you want to put a bounty on it.

@yariplus Can you tell me where to find a template I can edit to make my invitations more appealing and less likely to get caught in spam filters?

yariplus

@tqwhite Sure!

It uses the default email template for invitation. So, if you change the template under Settings => Email it will use the new one instead!

@yariplus Thank you. (And, ps, thanks for being so available.)

v0.5.0

I re-published the npm module as nodebb-plugin-user-invitations, to update you'll need to uninstall the old version and reinstall with the new name. You won't lose any settings.

Added a rewards award Give Invitations
Added a rewards condition Accepted Invitations
Added a form on the users' invitation page where admins can manually set the user's max invitations and manually reward them additional invitations.

Hi @yariplus ! Awesome plugin! I notice that when I update the invitation limit, it doesn't update for current users, only new users. Using 0.5.2 and NodeBB 1.4.0.

Can I just turn off invitation limits?

yariplus

@Michael-Pfaff Remove this line here will turn off limits:
https://github.com/NodeBB-Community/nodebb-plugin-user-invitations/blob/master/lib/invitations.js#L190

I'll make a setting for it when I get some time to update this plugin.

@yariplus No problem, looking forward to adding more features in the future.

@yariplus Thanks a lot for updating it, just a question, i heard node bb itself also has invite option in its core, but i want to use both normal registration and also enable users to be able to invite others.. can we have this both using this plugin , or how is this possible from the plugin itself?

yariplus

@faizanzahid Yes! This is exactly the purpose of the plugin. In fact, NodeBB must be set to Normal registration for this plugin to work.

Hello @yariplus! Can one see statistic about users, registered by ref link? I made a few registrations and cannot seem found stats anywhere? About, how many users was registered by the link

MintertalkOrg

Oh, i found my problem. That was an incorrect testing procedure. Did not enable the vpn on the second tab, so system somehow detects it and rejected the ref. Nice. For anybody testing the ref system and has faced the same problem: check the node logs for a string "Error: Hijack attempt blocked", if it is check if you are using the same session (I suppose?) on a second tab.

Is this plugin still recommended to be used on a live installation?
I read about the community plugin repo, but I wonder if that means I should not use it.

Thanks

phenomlab

@darkpollo The ability to invite users has been in core for some time, so I don't think you need this plugin.

darkpollo

@phenomlab
Nice to know.
Does core also allow the users to have X number of invitations to use?
I will look for it.

Thanks!
