Is it possible to create the following scenario:
when NEW user visit some user profile page, upon doing that, a referral cookie is implented and when the NEW user will decide to register, the user which reffered him will see new reffered..

Secondly - Email notification beign sent to a user upon new reffered and/or new "flaged" user would be GREAT!

Sets the cookie if you visit a users profile page. This assumes that anonymous viewers can view user profile pages.

Thank you A LOT! (I guess not only from myself).
It work's like a charm, is it implanted in the new release?
Is it possible notify the refer user (the user that own the profile) upon new registration user or/and new flagged user?

I will have a look tonight. The way to expedite a patch into the project release, is after testing that it works, to change the issue status to "patch (reviewed & tested by the community)".

ok, I'm new to this.
anyway, your patch seems to work well, one scenario (which needs to be mention) could be:

user A visited user B profile, after that went to see user C profile. upon registration, user C will be the one who will get the reffer-credit. maybe there could be a checkbox that will let admin choose the scenario needed (first or last profile viewed).

Also, I had thought about the notification mail, it could be done using userpoints email (http://drupal.org/project/userpoints_contrib).
problems is: first - this module is not yet imported to drupal 6 (part of this contrib ARE ported, but not this feature). secondly, it means that you have to install userpoints + email points modules, just to notify a user upon new reffered/flaged user.

Personally, I like the flexibility of the combination between modules.
if you need my help (by making you coffe - my coding skills suck, just page me :0 ).

btw - how can I get notification email about new comments regarding this/other issues here instead of just going over and over to this thread?

We are doing this hodge podge and mixing up all kinds of modules and all kinds of requirements/features.

Let us do this right, without confusing the user with features. Open a new feature for the email notificiation.

I committed aufumy's patch, and it should be in the 6.x-1.x-dev version in about 2 hours or so. So it needs to be tested and verified. If it does not work then reopen this issue.
