Referal Program Error

[club_krome]

when some of my members use the referal program in the faq section they have 0 come up at the end of their referal link instead of their correct id even though they're registered properly

[MUG]

That only happens when the user is not logged in...

[club_krome]

they were logged in though even one of my moderators that tested it who knew what he was doing got that error the other ones didn't but he did

[MUG]

Do you have any hacks installed that affect the $bbuserinfo variable or misc.php?

[club_krome]

no i didn't edit anything really
i even did a search for members that aren't logged in on my boards and ididn't get any but i got at least 20 or 30 people with that error

How did you do confirm this?

[club_krome]

in the admin panel i went to find and searched unregistered / not logged in and got no returns
but even without that one of my mods that got the error i know was logged in

[Steve Machol]

No, I meant how did you confirm that 20-30 people got this error? Of course there will be no users in the Unregistered group.

I am quite certain that the people who see the '0' are not logged in at the time. They may be registered, but if they are not logged in they'll see a referrerid of 0.

[club_krome]

well 20-30 people emailed me saying that because i emailed my whole member list offering something for refering people and about that amount responded with the error

is there a way to log all my members in and keep them logged in

[Steve Machol]

You can set their options 'automatically log in' and 'browse the board with cookies' to 'Yes.' Or you could just tell them they need to login first to see the correct referrerid.

[club_krome]

got it thanks
last question when setting those 2 options to yes is there a way to make them invisible when people register but keep them at yes on default

[Steve Machol]

Yes. You'll need to edit the registeradult templet to change these field to 'hidden' and to set the default setting. Search these forums for the specific answer if you can't figure it out. This has been posted many times.

[club_krome]

ok i found it but i don't see a user option template or a moify options in the templates at all

It's right there - User Option Templates. Click on the [expand] link.

You also need to change the registeradult template under Registration Templates.
