Quick question regarding the invite plugin -- are there any plans to integrate this with the friends plugin? It would be really nice if when you invited someone and they then registered, they became your friend. I don't think this would be as cool as being able to see a feed of your friends blogs, but would still be cool.
How do you use this plugin? I uploaded to my mu-plugins but don´t know what to do after.. i browsed around the dashboard menus but i dont see any invite tab
It'd be more useful if placed on the top level of the menu. I'll try to change it on my install, but i think that this option should be in a more visible place to encourage users to use it.

I typically don't add items to the top level menu unless it's for a large plugin like the friends plugin. However, you can easily place a link to it on the top menu by editing wp-admin/menu.php.
But what I'd like is for the plugin itself to attach to the dashboard and put in a link beside the existing "Dashboard" link.
I'd imagine that one would only have to change the source code of the plugin to get it to change where in the users Control Panel it inserts the link. But I don't know how to do this.

It was designed for mu-plugins but I just looked at the code and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work in the plugins folder. Give it a try and let us know if you have any problems.
Any chance in updating this plugin so that when a user "Invites" someone the sender's profile and a bit a "legal" from the sending blog can be included?
In other words if I invite you to my blog, you will get an email that says "Holly has invited you to join her on Mymompreneur.com where you can ...blah blah blah. Holly has 1 blog, 2 groups, and 300 friends. Join her today!" (maybe even a thumbnail of the avatar associated with my profile)
And then my standard legal "this site is the property of mymompreneur.com..blah blah blah)

Hiya,
To be honest there really hasn't been much interest in updating this plugin with additional features. That said, if other members are interested we can look into it.

Does that mean Andrea's off the hook?

It was so far down my to-do list anyways....

For the record, i'm aware that it's not exactly what some people were wanting. However, it's what made the most sense to us.
Thanks,
Andrew

I'll consider it. I'm currently re-coding a bit of the friends plugin so that people can choose which features they would like to enable or disable.
Thanks,

Could be a plugin of a plugin? lol
Erstwhile founder — 22nd August 2007 (4 years ago) #
I was trying to avoid calling it a plugin but that's basically what's going to happen. The friends plugin will have "plugins".
Thanks,
Andrew

How about "modules" for a plugin? :D
Erstwhile founder — 22nd August 2007 (4 years ago) #
That's actually what i'll most likely go with so as not to confuse people.
Thanks,

Any plans to add an extension for moderated signups? As in, if signups are closed, check for invite, then let them through?

Could someone please explain how I can put the invite link on the dashboard so that users see it straight away when they come to their dashboard?
As I'm not an expert, yet, with WPMU could you please give me pretty basic instructions?
Thanks.

Install Custom Content Dashboard Widget plugin and add this line as custom content:
<a href="/wp-admin/post-new.php?page=invite_main">Invite friends to join you at Mysite.com</a>Member — 8th October 2008 (3 years ago) #
Thanks Marko.
But what I'd like is for the plugin itself to attach to the dashboard and put in a link beside the existing "Dashboard" link.

Hiya,
open up invite.php and replace this:
add_submenu_page('users.php', 'Invites', 'Invites', 1, 'invite_main', 'invite_page_main_output');With this:
add_submenu_page('index.php', 'Invites', 'Invites', 1, 'invite_main', 'invite_page_main_output');Thanks,
Andrew

Here you go. My is placed under 'Write' parent menu (similar to what Andrew has just posted) + the link inside CCDW as I've explained above.
Cheers
Member — 9th October 2008 (3 years ago) #
Andrew, Thanks.
When I make that modification I get the error "can't load invite_main"
Do you know what the problem might be?
Member — 11th October 2008 (3 years ago) #
Hi Andrew.
I think what you meant was to replace users.php with index.php everywhere in the plugin.
This is what I done to get it working. Let me know if I shouldn't have done that.
Erstwhile founder — 12th October 2008 (3 years ago) #
Oops. Yep, that's what I meant. Sorry about that.
Thanks,

Hello,
I would like to know if this plugin works OK in the plugins folder, instead of the mu-plugins folder
Thank you,
