Users can use a special link to refer others to your site. This could work for recognizing your users who draw in the most member signups.

In my situation, I want to have a contest for users who refer the most signups. They can put a special link in their 'signature' on other mesaage boards, or sig in their email, etc... Like http://mysite.com/index2.php?referring_user=Predator

Then index2.php will cookie the user with 'Predator' as the referrer to my site. If the user signs up, and clicks the activation link in their email, the users.php page will check for a cookie called 'referring_user' and if present add a referral to Predators total. It could be used like the Top 10 Posters - it is just a Top 10 Referrers.

I could make it in regular PHP, but the OOP structure still eludes me - so I am requesting this Mod.

Thanks for reading!

Not looking too popular, but tracking who referred a user can help with promoting anyone's site. If you have your users advertising your site, it will only be more popular

Therefore I am bumping this to see if I can get someone to look into it

Anyone?
