I am not sure if it is implemented already, but I didnt see it. So how about a referall system? So we know if the person got here because he was reffered by X memeber or what…

Not yet but I know Mtr Papa has a development planned which he calls a ‘referral system’ so maybe this is related. I will need hiom to chime in on the answer…

Got it…I know it is him who is working on it, but has he talked about any release dates or anything?

Thanks!

All can tell you at the moment is it is not 4.1. What will be delivered in a 4.2 is still under debate.

Is there any word on this referral system yet?  Really would like to add this feature… and this thread is pretty old yet this feature isn’t here yet… just wondering.

 

Thank you

depends on what you mean by referral system…  have had 6 or 8 requests for one and each person wanted something different…  so we have a ticket for such a thing, but until we can get a consensus on what folks want, nothing has been done…

we, of course, would welcome plugins by other folks too!

I just want a referral system so that we can keep up with how many people members referral each month and how many posts posts/comments each person referred has made.  I would love to be able to use this in an incentive based manner.

It basically comes down to what features are requested most often. Obviously in each version release there are bug fixes first, needed enhancements to existing features second and then new items. Which new items have to be determined with care and are mostly chosen by demand. While this feature – or as Steve pointed out, variants of this feature – has been raised fairly often, it hasn’t bubbled to the top of the list yet nor has there been much consensus on a good model to implement.

At the same time it is not forgotten or ignored – just waiting it’s turn.

have you looked to see if there is such a plugin for wp???  since registrations and user accounts are handled by wp, there might already be something you can use…

googling ‘wordpress referral plugin’ yields quite a few results…
