cool I was in need of this, thanks

YO!! i asked this question a minute ago... so as admin... with canadministeruser permission....

ONLY i can link.... and teleport!!?? man you are DANGER OUS!!!! PELIGRO!!!

You can only switch between users if your account is linked.
Only administrator with canadministerusers can link accounts.
If accounts are not linked, switch is not possible.

Ok, I think I may have done something incorrect on my install after reading through this thread. Please bear with me as this is my first install on vBulletin.

I followed the directions in the zip and uploaded the product, made the changes to the templates and imported the xml file. After linking a couple accounts to mine, I see the switch arrow and a box with Switch Accounts shows, but none of the accounts I linked appeared. Did I forget to do something during the install?

Any help would be awesome! My users have been begging for this option for a long time!!

This hack works great if I'm on an forum related page. But for some reason the linked user doesnt show up under the menu on the cmps page, I get the drop down but no user link under it. Can someone tell me how to fix this, so that it shows up on that one too? Thankyou in advance

nice! times saver hacks pwn. :)

<< clicks install

np, np

I'd still really love to be able to give my members the ability to make the link themselves. I love the hack and my members have been asking for something exactly like this, but I simply do not have the time to answer all of their requests myself.

Is there any possibility of adding a (secure) way for members to link their accounts? I'm sure if a password is required, it would be secure enough. If you don't want to add this as an option yourself, perhaps you could tell me how I might put in this functionality myself?

Thanks for a terrific hack and I really hope that you can take my request and make it perfect for me.

Works good, except one thing. It conflicts with my Photopost vBGallery. Whenever it is enabled and you click on a category Images in Category: will have a username instead of the category you clicked on. Disable it, it works fine.

Uninstalled for now.

Thank you! :)

the cmps issue is likely due to any variables being used by this hack not been globalised to cmps... if we can find the variables then we can fix it

will it work with 3.6?

I don't know, but feel free to check and then let me know whether it does or not.

It works :)

Works like a charm!

Txs a lot!!!!

Will this work with 3.6.0?

I see that it does great!

/me installs

Thanks for that.

anyway to get it to work with the 'unalterable admins' setting as well? It seems you can edit an unalterable users linked accounts.

I don't quite understand what you mean.

so say I'm an unalterable admin and user X has the ability to administer users. my account would be protected from him making any changes, unless I have this hack installed, which he can then add a link to my account, even though he shouldn't be allowed to alter it because its protected in the config file.

Adding a link does not alter user's profile.

Da420, were you ever able to resolve this issue?

AWESOME share - thanx very much for this one ;)

Jacquii.

No, unfortunately I was never able to resolve this issue so I had to disable the hack.

Very nice. Works well on vB v3.6.2 also. Thanks

Nice!! **installed**

Psionic, I installed this hack, did the two changed fields, and uploaded the file. I attempted to link my account to another of the ones I use, and it said all went well. When I clicked that little arrow thing next to my name, I got a small white box that says Switch Accounts. Thats all it says, and thats all it does. Can you think of a reason its not working? I'm using VB 3.5.1
Thanks.

This has not been checked on a vBulletin version prior to 3.5.4. Please make sure 3.5.4 is installed on your site...

I updated my site, (boy did I fall behind!) And it works perfectly. Thank you so very much.

I have noticed something weird. If I am on a forum and I do an account switch, I end up on the main page, and logged out, not switched to the new name. If I am on the main page, and try the account switch, it works just fine. Is there a reason this could be happening?

That's impossible, the URL of the links is the same in any case, so perhaps it either your cookies or you have not installed the hack correctly.

Suggested feature: Allow users to link accounts on their own (validated by the user being required to input the name and password of the other account). This would automate the linking process and not require the admin to have to link accounts individually.

It shall be done.

UPDATE:
It is done. :)

I am looking for something like this but have a question. Like many here, I have a forum where there are more than one user in a household that use the same computer. Their issue is that when one spouse logs out the other one and then logs in under their own name, all the cookies are lost for the first one. Does this hack preserve the cookies for each account as they are switched between?

Awesome, thank you! :)

3.6.6 anyone?

anyone got this figured out for vbadvanced?

Cheers

after I set my cookiepath to my sitename in vbulletin options it stopped working any ideas why?
