DESCRIPTION
============================================
Allows your users to invite or refer their friends to visit your website. **RESPONSIVE - ReCAPTCHA v2 - EMAIL TEMPLATES - DATABASE LOGGING**. Over 75 settings allow you to have COMPLETE control of aesthetics and functionality. This component sends multiple HTML emails including optional copies to the Administrator and/or the User.

Responsive design makes it compatible with ALL smart devices! Two options of spam control including the fantastic 'one click' Google reCAPTCHA v2! All the invite/referrals can be logged into the database - useful for referral programs, contests, track your users usage and more! Front end appearance is completely configurable including all text and form fields! All emails can be sent with text/html MIME format so HTML is allowed so you can include your site logo!

This component uses standard Joomla! JFactory Mailer functions - which should work if your website's email settings are correctly configured for your website server (i.e. Sendmail, PHPMailer, SMTP, etc).

=====================================
MAIN FEATURES
