[IPS RESOURCES] Invite System

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

This is a simple but full featured invite system for IPB 3.0, that requires NO code edits. Functions FULLY though 3 hooks (2 template hooks and 1 action overloader), 2 modules and a task.

 

The system opperates in 3 mods. Off compleatly, passive mode (This is where you can signup with or without an invite) or Forced mode (an invite MUST bee used to sign up an account).

 

Alough inspired (i had it installed on my 2.3 board and needed a version for 3.0) by signde's INVITE COMPONANT FOR IPB 2.2/2.3 ( http://mods.invisionize.com/db/index.php/f/7501 ) it is wholly new code.

 

Features.

• Admin settable posts per invite (a user gets 1 invite per x posts made),
  
• Admin settable usergroups (who can send invites),
  
• Admin settable expiration date
  
• 3 function modes (off, passive and forced. As described above).
  
• Invite CP is styled to match the standard 3.0 UserCP to ensure everything looks familiar to your members.
  
• Seperate list of pending and converted invites for clearer viewing.
  
• Ability to resend an invite to some1 by pressing 1 button (checks in place to provent spam or random members guessing the resend url).
  
• invite key is an md5 hash making guessing a key next to impossiable.
  
• Easy to access (for members with permission a link is added to the global member drop down box (where "my profile" "my settings" etc are))
  

 

I have also included conversion instructions for people who had the 2.2/2.3 componant installed (convert.txt)
