The fix I believe is basically removing the unserialize function on line 698 of modules/invite/invite.module

Details, below...

Problem is here:

/**
 * Calculate the remaining invites of a user.
 *
 * @param $account
 *   A user object.
 * @return
 *   The number of remaining invites.
 */
function invite_get_remaining_invites($account) {
  if ($account->uid == 1) {
    return INVITE_UNLIMITED;
  }
 
  $data = unserialize($account->data);
  if (isset($data['invites'])) {

Fix is here:

/**
 * Calculate the remaining invites of a user.
 *
 * @param $account
 *   A user object.
 * @return
 *   The number of remaining invites.
 */
function invite_get_remaining_invites($account) {
  if ($account->uid == 1) {
    return INVITE_UNLIMITED;
  }
 
  // Check user property for remaining invites.
  // $data = unserialize($account->data);
  $data = $account->data;
  if (isset($data['invites'])) {

Hello,

I put patch #4, When I go to the URL "http://www.yourdomain.com/invite" to invite a new friend, the following error message appeared:

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in invite_get_remaining_invites() (line 699 of /var/www/public/sites/all/modules/invite/invite.module).

This only appears when logged in as a normal registered user and not as the administrator (i.e. UID = 1).

Thank you for your help

Sincerely
Daniel
