I'm sort of... shocked... to see that SMF doesn't even have a referral system in place!
I was thinking about this because I wanted a referral contest to promote my forum, but then I realized I never noticed a single page or word about referrals in SMF.
I tried looking on the smf mods database for a referral mod, but I didn't find one...

I've seen a screenshot of a referral field in SMF but I think that was custom made... Does anybody know how I can implement a referral system into my SMF board?

Thanks!

I looked for the same mod, but didnt find it.


I did however install the "Custom Profiles Field" and created a spot to put in your referrer there. I had to tally it up on my own, but it wasn't too bad. It depends how large and fast your forum is growing.

Ah, thanks for a smart solution
My board is still really small, so I guess it won't be so bad hand-counting the referrals

I just hope SMF1.1 will have a referral feature or mod when it comes out

You can also make it so that only you can view the referer so you can keep he results hidden away!

You could pay to have a mod made, prolly wouldnt cost much on one of the freelance programmer sites.

Wish SMF had it already too.
