Title: Hotmail, Yahoo etc Invite Script & Hosting Advice
Post by: wilsy on August 05, 2007, 09:54:55 PM
Hi all,

I have my site at www.rewindlancs.com which is hosted at Siteground.

I have installed a script which members can send an invite link to all the contacts in their Hotmail, Yahoo, GMail etc accounts. The script works great - my problem is that I've only just realised that there is a cap on how many emails my account can send per hour (400) and the max number of recipients is 20 per email  :(

I am looking for a small amount of webspace, decent bandwidth and with no restrictions on the email side - any ideas or has anyone on here got some spare? I will only be hosting the script at the webspace, not the whole site ;)

Regards,

Wilsy.

Is this script available somewhere as SMF module or...?

Cant remember where though

wilsy,

That's a nice little snippet of php code you've got there on page 98 of your site. :up:  I bet a lot of people would like to use something like that on their own sites with openinviter.

Care to share?

If so, feel free to put this in as a block code snippet in that board, and if you do, you might specify a link to your site as a demo and state that you use it in a php article.

It looks nice.

You simply need to install the scripts (from http://openinviter.com) on your server. Then simply call the form from a block or article in an iframe, as I've done.

You should be up and running in 10 mins! ;)

P.S. Hello m'lord, long time no see!!

Ah, yes, well, I was talking about the extra ssi calls you made below the form but, well, OK. ;D

I know how to do it, but a lot of others wouldn't.

The other blocks are controlled from within Tinyportal's admin section :)

Ah, OK. Now that I look at it a little closer I see that.  Sorry about that.  Very nicely done. :up:
