Joining by invitation?
 MOOOOMMM, She's touching me!! |
I'm thinking of switching my website to invitation only for members (I'm sick of the spammers) and I was wondering if someone can tell me how it works. Any info would be helpful, thanks! Go here: admin panel dolphin: Setting: Advanced Setting: Other: and click on Registration by invitation only:
Goodluck

but how exactly does it work? Do people who want to join send a message to admin to get an invite or do members send out invites to friends. If so, how? The Earth is the LORD's and the fullness therof, the world and they that dwell therin... Psalm 24:1 |
Invites are sent by clicking that "Invite a friend" link on the site. An email is sent with a link that will allow the receiver to access the join form. It isn't 100% fool proof because anyone who knows how Dolphin works knows how to spoof the url without getting a real invite.

This is what I use for Joining By Invitaion Only; After you set join by invitation only add this; Go to admin-->builders-->profile fields || drag a New_Item/block up Click on block and add --> System Name (Invite_Code) --> Caption (Invite Code) --> Description (Enter The Invite Code From Your Email) --> select "Text" from drop down Then click on Advanced tab on top -->Check off mandatory -->Set min value to 1 and max value to 10 In the "Check" field put this; return strtolower($arg0) == 'friend'; Click Save... In Admin --> Settings --> Email Settings --> Template for "Invite a Friend" feature add this (high-lighted): <p>I found this website and thought you might like it: <br><b>YOU MUST ENTER THIS CODE ON JOIN FORM TO JOIN:</b> <font color="red">friend</font> and click this link <a href="<Link>"><Link></a><br /> Click save..
Use this only if your site is for invite only, otherwise regular members trying to join will not know the invite code.. you can change "friend" to anything you want but change in block and email template. It's an extra step for the user but this seems to help in regards to join by invitation where someone can manipulate the url. |
I've looked everywhere... Where is the "Invite a Friend" button? Thanks in Advance, Blaine |
Look at the footer.. on the same line as the copyright of your site. I've looked everywhere... Where is the "Invite a Friend" button?

And how do you keep the "invite a friend" from showing up on the homepage? thank you
