I am really looking forward to a closer integration with this plugin. @Kevin Carwile please note, I will purchase your plugin in the next week. -edit- Wonderful, I am glad you're helpful to integrate the app Kevin!

NorCan Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Hello again @Adriano Faria, I purchased your latest version, which is a good step in the right direction! Way to go! However, I needed to invite users to groups, instead of people that are not yet members. As such, the "Send invitation" page should not show "Name" and "E-mail" in my case, but "Display name". That way, I can invite existing members to join a "better" group. Sorry I wasn't clearer about that. I do hope something like that can be achieved - if not, please let me know. All the best!
Adriano Faria Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 This app is to invite guests/non registered members to join the community. It extends the register screen. That's the main and the only goal of this app. Sorry, I have no plan to change the app in that direction.

I didn't talk to him yet. Honestly, I don't see how both apps can work together. Also, you know I'm working on Classifieds now... that's why I asked, at least, 30 days to work on this. JiigSaaw 1

Off the top of my head, I can think of some cool ways the invite system could be coupled with other apps using rules: Event: Member sends an invitation Event: Member registers from an invitation Event: An invitation has expired Event: An invitation has been renewed Condition: Member was invited by another member Action: Send an invitation for a member Action: Give a member another invitation Action: Expire an invitation Action: Renew an invitation Just by adding a few ECA's, someone could start tying apps together with invites, such as giving out economy points to members when they send invites. Or giving them awards with iAwards when they reach a certain amount of recruits. Or granting another invitation when a previous one expires. Or posting a welcome topic when a member registers from an invitation. Or promoting a member to a new group based on their number of converted invitations or whether they were invited themselves. -RAW-, Subdreamer and Martin1980 3
mycota Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 I would be interested in functionality that would allow members to create external invites for Group Collaboration app groups. JiigSaaw 1

This is a real helpful list @Adriano Faria
Thomas K Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Hey, I really like your plugin - but I experienced some problems with it. First, the template throws an error for me. Only when I delete all "{$email->language->addToStack.. }" phrases it does not crash anymore. I would like to fix it by myself but I am not that familiar with IP plugins. Example error from nginx log: 2016/01/27 20:10:51 [error] 8217#0: *684264 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function addToStack() on a non-object in +removed+/system/Email/Email.php(439) : eval()'d code on line 6" while reading response header from upstream Second, it does not work when SMTP is enabled. When SMTP is enabled with following details: Sender E-Mail: service@example.com, SMTP Login: username, SMTP Password: password and I send an invitation with a user whose email is user@otherexample.com he tries to send a mail with user@otherexample.com per SMTP with the login details of the support mail, which is definitely not supposed. If you need any further information, it's no problem, just ask. I'd like to see a fix as fast as possible

Hi @Adriano Faria I would also love to see this implemented - it gives a lot of flexibility to tie into many other events across the forum The options are endless.

Well done @Kevin Carwile for agreeing to code the ECA's #TEAMWORK
Wayne B Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @Adriano Faria Does the system refuse to send an invite if the email address already exists within the system please or does it send it anyway? Ideally I would like the ability to not send to existing users. Thanks

Wayne B Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @Adriano Faria Is there a way to import a number of email addresses and batch send them an invite - I have a database of users from a marketing campaign that I would like to use this for - I thought that is what the Batch Invite option might have done but I cannot figure it out. Any ideas?
Adriano Faria Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 An import tool will be available on new version in a couple of weeks. Wayne B 1

This is used in all emails sent by thr framework. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your end. Probably related to the SMTP issue. I'll take a look.
Wayne B Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 @Adriano Faria It would also be good to allow a member to claim a new members as a member that they invited to the forum in case that member signed up without entering the invitation code in instances where it is not required to sign up and remains optional. I think this needs some kind of validation to confirm they did invite them so it may be one of the two following things are in place; Members email address is on their Invite List and they register without the code, it still shows as converted to the member that issued the invite. In cases where it was word of mouth, the member that told them about the forum could claim that member was invited by them and it would then need the invitee to confirm that they were invited by this member. You may even feel it appropriate for someone registering on the forum to be able to enter a member display name as the person that invited them in place of the invitation code. Just a few suggestions to consider. Adriano Faria 1
sasiko Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 @Adriano Faria can the members see status for the invitation he sent? would be a good indicator if his friend got invited or not.. i would like to see the pending, invited text in member area
