Here I'll try to answer questions regarding installation problems, migrating from older versions of Refer, etc.

I just downloaded Refer 2.0. It looks very nifty, however, I cannot get it working.

The address where I've uploaded it is: http://www.arcticpalace.org/refer/

And the message I get is this: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getset() in /home/.dacron/peroty/arcticpalace.org/refer/index.php on line 5

Any thoughts?

Did you set up an .htaccess file as indicated during the installation?

As you've been kind enough to share your site path with us, it would look like this:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.php
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
php_value auto_prepend_file /home/.dacron/peroty/arcticpalace.org/refer/refer.php

If you don't want to do use an .htaccess file, you can open /refer/index.php and delete the # at the beginning of the third line from the top. Then, on all pages or templates you wish to have Refer monitor, you would put the following snippet:

<?php
include '/home/.dacron/peroty/arcticpalace.org/refer/refer.php';
?>

Thanks! I had try to setup the .htaccess file yesterday, but weird things were happening to the rest of the site... Uncommenting that one line in the index.php file worked smashingly. :)

Thank you so much!

is there a way to keep the refer/ directory out of the refer logs??

The compressed file (http://www.textism.com/tools/refer/refer2.zip) doesn't seem to work for me. It gives me a corrupted compressed file message when I try to open it.

Hello Dean. Thanks for the tool.

One suggestion - in index.php, you could avoid the (not elsewhere documented?) need to uncomment "include refer.php" when not using .htaccess by using include_once, I believe.

Also - on that same line in index.php, I don't think "#" is a valid comment character for php. If it is it may be deprecated.

Thanks again.

Hey Dean,

Great application!

I've only got one problem: the pages it creates do not validate.

The problem occurs in the "where" column of the table where an opening <a href="reffered link"> tag is created twice. Other than that, it works splendidly.

If I knew anything about php, I'd give you so more helpfull feedback.

Keep up the good work, it's appreciated.
