Referral Mod?

[hllight]

I would like to add a "How did you hear about us" question to the login page. Is that possible? This seems like the most appropriate time to ask the question while it is fresh in the newcommer's mind.

Any ideas or comments?

Have you tried doing a search for that in the forum?

You can first enable the referral code feature in admin -> configuration -> customer details -> customers referral status (set to 2). Then a referral code box will appear on the create account page, and you can change that text to whatever you like, for example, "Where did you hear about us?" (this could be the original text - I don't remember what it was since I changed it)

Yes but I didn't find anything. I posted the question in the general area also. Thanks.

There's a "How did you hear about us?" add-on in the downloads section. If you want to see what it looks like implemented, I've got it on my test site here.
Hope this helps.

There is also a How Did You Hear About Us / referrals mod in the downloads area.

WONDERFUL! I was not aware of that. Thank you! I will play with it tomorrow.

I added the referral code however it is limited in length to 15 characters. I am guessing that I cannot change the value without screwing up the database?

I changed the question to:
How did you hear about us? If you used a search engine, what key word(s) did you use?

(TABLE_CUSTOMERS, 'customers_referral', 15) this variable is set in three different php files:
admin/customers.php
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_account_edit_default.php
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
