I have an invite only site and I’m interested in growing my members by allowing my members to invite others. I understand there is the invite to topic feature, but is there a way for my users to send general invites?

Okay let me explain when all the invites won’t work for a user. If user’s maximum invites per day is reached. (staff are immune to this limitation) If SSO enabled. If local logins are disabled. If must approve users setting enabled. (staff are immune to this limitation) If user has trust level below 2. (staff are immune to this limitation)

[image] jomaxro: /my/invited/pending I’ve tried this but it doesn’t show for my users. Do you know what permissions are required for them to access?

They must be at least Trust Level 2, Member.

I tried setting a user to level 2 and testing that but still no luck… :frowning:

It’s possible that invite_only changes something…currently at work so I can’t test on my dev instance.

Ok thanks for the input. If you do get to test I’d love to hear what you find out.

So I haven’t found a solution here yet guys. I’ve played around with permissions but haven’t had any success. I can’t get the profile invites page to show up for my users. If anyone is available to help I would appreciate it.

There definitely is opportunity to improve the UX to encourage growth. Our categories are more like communities on their own, but there is no call-to-action for users to invite their friends to join.

Yea. I plan on creating a CTA linking to the invite page. It would be awesome if I can make my cta button open up the invite modal to reduce a load and additional click. Problem is I can’t work towards that until I figure out how to let my members have the rights to invite. Currently my site is set to invite only. I’ve tested with accounts trying all trust levels but they still don’t have access to the invite page. I’ve been told TL2 is the right level but that doesn’t work. :frowning:

Invite only means invites by STAFF only. Not normal users.

Better way for my users to invite others?

Here’s what invite only means:

So it looks like other members can invite members.
