Smart-Thinker Referrals 4.3.1 Released
By Rodney Joyce @ 1:38 PM :: 2777 Views :: 0 Comments ::

This module allows you to "Tell a Friend" about your site. It has a highly customizable UI and you can send from 1 to 10 referrals at once. The new email templates allow you to configure the messages at module level and you can change the layout by tweaking the settings.


Please note that this version is for DotNetNuke 4.3.5+. This module can be seen in action on PokerDIY.com (Find live poker games and leagues). It is used on the "Tell a Friend" page with all fields showing, and a scaled-down, simpler version is used on the "Registration Successful" page where you can just enter 3 email addresses.
