Referral Program

Permalink
Does anyone know if there's currently any add-on (or set of add-ons) that can do the following:

- Registered user invites someone
- If invited person joins site and pays for a membership, they earn 1 month of membership (or perhaps x-number of points)

- Or, perhaps, points could be redeemed for certain rewards

Would someone be interested in developing an add-on for the marketplace like this?

I just threw this together. It isn't fancy but once you install it you will have a new set of links
http://www.example.com/referral/user/2

Where 2 is the uID for the referrer. This sets a session variable so if they delete their cookies no referral.

Anyhow, all it does is fire an event called 'referral_signup'(if the user ever signs up) which passes two paramters. The first is the UserInfo object of the user who signed up and the second is the UserInfo object of the user that sent the referral.

There's not dashboard pages or anything.

You'll have to hook into that event to do something special with it. Anyhow, if you want to help me test it out I might bother to deal with the PRB and marketplace it(for free, MIT) so that others can use it to hook into for other packages.
