Ajax parainvite tool is an exclellent tool for inviting community driven website. which must have this tool. working fine.

AJAX ParaInvite is a "must have" for every community website builders. Don't go live without it! I have installed and tested it for several days and I'm very impressed! This application gives me possibilities like I have never seen in other extensions before! The developer is also very helpful and the support is nothing more than excellent! I would like to give AJAX ParaInvite five of five possible stars! Keep up the good work mike!

Hi all,

After installing ioncube an curl library on my host, i've bought and installed Parainvite.

I just find the component (and it's plugins and modules...) Amaizing and very useful for a websites that wants to increase his number of members.

Mike helped me very quickly when i needed his help and we don't find that everywhere.

80 euros is nothing regarding what the component will bring to my website.

You can have a look and test it by registering:

I installed Parainvite Pro this weekend. Just wanted to say thanks for a great component. The Namecard especially is a very versatile add-on that will be useful on my site. Great integration!

Whilst site administrators have to go to the effort of setting up their sites to be crawled by the likes of google and other search engines. This component takes site promotion one step further, allowing users to import their address books from quite a few free web based email services as well as outlook and other computer based accounts. Doing this allows site administrators to empower their users to promote their own site, saving them time and creating a better promoted site. The component has a wide range of features, from 'Personal Namecards' through to awarding users karma points for inviting members.

If you are building a community site, this is an essential!

Mike has created an incredible tool with ParaInvite Pro! I have installed this system on several of my Community, Video Sharing, and Niche Market sites with awesome results.

The price is perfect - and can't be beat for the level of service, and technology you receive. The install is a breeze, and the documentation is superb - clear - and step-by-step. The ease of modification (*tweaking) is to die for! We extended this tool to carry video, reward referrals with cash, and build up point to trade for merchandise.

Mike - THANK YOU - for making viral marketing with a Tell A Friend form so FUN and EASY!

I initially had to spend time on installing this. But the developer was very communicative and friendly and saw everything went well. 5 stars from me!!!

One of the best plugins ever, no community should be with out it.

The title say everything. I purchased this pluging few months ago and it worked very fine. However, it doesn't work with CB1.1 and Joomla 1.0.13 actually. I'm waiting since several weeks for a fix but nothing until now.
When I buy an extension, my expectation is to have a good and quick support. This is not the case actually. So, don't buy this extension until a fix.

Owner's reply:
It does work with CB1.1 and J!1.0.13

Viral marketing, the very foundation of any web developer that's comitted with success, this component WILL make that happen to you.

And example, since little people help in forums, integrating joomlaboard karma system to give prizes people that helps its an option but for a minimal share of your audience, but, the vast mayority wont be forum or blog gurus and wont imput content, even in youtube only 1.8% of users upload content or comments, but with this extension you can give prices to people that invite more people, this is the very best lead generator for your casual audience.

installation: is simple (cb plugin, component)

css templates: piece of cake

support: is mostly not needed, but when needed mike is there, the forum is read-open to non-clients

inteface presentation: very intuitive and sleek, nice design with ajax feels very WEB 2.0, this one wont generate desertion from naive users

price: 92$ (cb plugin+component and module)no matter how little your website is, this one pays for itself, its worth 5 times its price, I know there are dozens of scripts that apparently do this but, believe me:
none works for more than 3 months,
none has nice design,
none integrates with community builder,
none uses AJAX,
none levels up inviters (karma+joomla awards CB ;),
none connects inviter with invited people in CB
except mike's ajax plaxoinvite

my user registration went TOPNOTCH 400%!, using this. before I used to send thousands of promotional emails, the statistics speak for themselves:

Mass email vs Ajax plaxoinvite: (actual site members: 7000)

50,000 email DB, discount/prize email bulletin with PHPlist

lead generation: 6523 visitors
registration conversion: 2710 new members (same month)


Ajax Plaxoinvite site members invitation (30 invites per user aloud only one time):

lead generation: 27,000 visitors
registration conversion per user: 2
Total new registrations: 9960 new members (same month)

Most web master shouldn't be surprised, since sites that implement contact importers like hi5, myspaces, facebook know this, they only use invitational emails as viral strategy, but my point here is:

SPARE YOUR VALUABLE TIME, free scripts arent an option in some areas, saving 92$ and using a free script, will result in "Error 404, or service not availiable" most days,although 80% of the extensions I use are GNU/GPL, after 1 year testing user conversion strategies, the hotmail-gmail-yahoo importer proved the best one, and again, after 1 year of testing this scripts and hardcoding payed and free ones, my last bet was mike's, 2 weeks with joomlancers trying to integrate a cheap script with joomla at a very basic level (users), VS 5 min installation plus 1hour css with plaxoinvite it's no brainer I learned the hard cheap way, but now I'm makin money not tweaking php.

joomla doesn't aloud to post sites to prevent seo association and google rank punishment if eg: a warez or porn site posted here, my 2ct (you should do the same in your comment extensions)


greets, to mike

Mike.. I love your work and look forward to many other creative plugins like this one. I have a community site and I absolutely have to say that this plugin was needed. Now my members are inviting new members easily. I had no problem with install or the way it works. It also can be spam compliant depending on your settings.. well done!

I installed the Plugin and initially had a difficulty saving configuration changes.

Mike was able to advise on this issue.

This was apparently due to a bug in wysywgpro which I use as my primary editor component. The bug apparently affects situations when 3rd party components call an editor box.

This was solved easily by editing the content as per normal, changing momentarily to the html tab, then switching back to the normal tab before saving. This refreshed the editor itself and bypassed this bug.

Im pleased with the extension which I believe works well, looks good and is worth the money

Excellent work!

this is a well constructed plugin, well worth the small price tag!

now I can finally start my online marketing push knowing that my users can invite their friends, making the push that much more worth while.

see live example of this plugin on smart-love.ca

There is everything said about the component. Its great.

There is one thing about the support though. Mike answers questions very fast but wanted to charge me about 50 bucks for a small layout change with this component. Thats almost the same price as the component itself, which is one of the most expensive components around here by the way.

Anyways, maybe the change I wanted wasnt that small at all. If you have regular requests Mike is very supportive and helps you out...

I had found one other cobbled attempt at an invite component / plugin a while back, this one is the missing link. Anyone who is serious about contact managment uses plaxo, and this does a great job integrating with it and most any other contact database. The e-mail invites provide a working link to community builder registration, and the CB plugin does a great job of organizing your invite status. In order to get a compoenent interface seperate from the CB plugin you have to shell out another $30, making the complete solution cost about $80. But it works and it works well, mike is really good about support and the forums are active at his site. I think we are going to see some great stuff from this developer in the future. Layout of the plugin and graphics could use some help in areas, but other than that it is beautiful and it works!
