CB-Invites and CB-Subs Promotion, can they work together?

Hello CB Team,

Our memberships are either paid monthly or annually (Annual payment offers two months free).

I'm configuring the invite email that is sent to a members friends with the invite link embedded, works as expected.

However, I want to offer anyone taking up the invitation to also have a CB-Subs Promotion coupon code that gives them the first 3 months free or, an invitation CB-Subs plan that will allow them the first 3 months free. Either method is acceptable.

The coupon code can be generic and does not need to change for each invite.

I have tried configuring a new Promotion but unfortunately can not work out how to do this.

Is this possible please?

Would CB-Invites benefit from an additional tab where Admins can link to a CB-Subs plan that is only accessible to those accepting the invitation and the link within the email automatically takes the person clicking it to the plan? Does that even make sense?

Also, what happened to the field on the invites tab on the frontend, where the person sending the invite could enter a message? This was helpful as it would encourage the recipient to take action? Can we have it back please?

Looking forward to hearing your advice.

Many thanks in advance.

Ok, I'm back with a work around to my above issue.

I created a new plan in CBSubs with the first 3 months being free, set it to not be shown on the usual registration plans.
Using the link automatically generated to create a clickable link in the invitation email that links to the plan.

Then I remembered that the invitation email might generate the invitation code using the tag "[CODE]" and it worked, it's there in the email for the person to copy and paste into the invitation field on registration.

It all worked as I wanted and is quite an acceptable work around as once it set up, I can pretty much forget about it. The only time I need to do anything is if the subscription plans increase in price, then the link will need to be updated with the new plan number.

However, I did discover what i think might be a bug?

The link generated by the new plan ended with:&Itemid=200

This came directly after the number of the plan being linked to in the URL.
This causes the site to present the sign in page rather than the plan as expected.
What is &Itemid=200 referencing too and why would it be added if it breaks the URL?

Conclusion.
The work around is good but perhaps the CB-Invitation plugin could be adapted to work with CB-Subs and the promotions plugin?
 Cheers.
