Hi,

Here is my use case…

A user of the site can invite friends to join the site and when a  
friend joins, the invitee is awarded. What could be the best way in  
Rails to track if a user is signing up as a result of someone’s  
invitation? Is there a plugin for such purposes?

Thanks

Hello,

```
Simple way is by maintaining a table with a boolean, if accepted or 

```

not.  
I dont know if a plugin exists for this purpose.
