Optionally, you can disallow users to link and unlink accounts from the usercp.

worked great in 4.0.2 :)

Is it possible to only allow for admin?

And that noone can see which accounts the admin own?

Wow, looks dope!

Yes, go to vBulletin Options -> Quick Account Switch

That Sir is one sexy mod! I have test accounts set up to check different usergroup settings and it is a pain having to log in and out to test them, but now all I nead do is click a link in my navbar! Sweet.

How do you make the switch? In the old one on 3.8 boards there was a pulldown next to the login name. But, that isn't showing up after the install.

Don't know why, but it isn't there. Am I missing something?

OMG!! This addon is SIC!! It Rocks! :D Thank you so much!!

Got my vote for MOTM! :D

I know that on the 4.x boards it is next to the quick links pulldown, but it doesn't show up there. Don't know why, but it isn't there. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any assistance you might give. Our moderators really like this hack.

Please see the following screenshot.

It erase all the other custom sub-nav links added. Except this it works fine.

Fixed. Please download updated archive and replace the product xml.

I saw that earlier, but it isn't working still.

I have no idea what the problem is and we really need this hack.

Please help...

thanks..

Maybe you didn't link users? The dropdown only shows if you have linked your account to some other account.

I linked to several other accounts and vice versa to my main one.

Logged out, back in.

Two different browsers: IE and FF

Unistalled and reinstalled the hack.

???

Sorry for the difficulty, but I'm stumped and really want to use the great hack...

thanks

Will this product upgrade previously installed 3.8 version or a fresh installation needed?

I'd tried the 3.8 version on the 4.0 boards, but it didn't work so I uninstalled it.

Then I installed this one.

It is better to do a fresh installation.

This mod is absolutely awesome! Great time saver. :)

* 5 stars

I had to reinstall and re-do the links then it worked... whew!

Sorry to bug you about it. I appreciate this hack a lot.

Great Job.

Finally! How dare you make me wait for this mod to be brought over lol
Great work.

Psionic Vision, I could kiss you right about now. Thanks so much for updating this mod!

Sorry for the double post, but I wasn't sure if the thread would mark itself unread to anyone if I just edited my last post.

I'm getting ready to update my forum to VB4, so I'll be installing this mod. I assume I need to uninstall the 3.8 mod from my forum, run the VB4 update, and install the 4.0 mod on my new 4.0 forum. But, I was looking at the 3.8 mod, and it looks like it's going to delete necessary database data if I uninstall it, forcing my members to start linking their accounts all over again when the 4.0 mod is installed. Is there a way to uninstall the old mod without deleting what MySQL needs to link the accounts? Thanks!

sorry m8

i installed this and it didnt work for me in vb4.0.4 :(

i had another mod [evi-tab] installed and thought that would be the cause for not wrking but i disablled that mod uninstalled yours and reinstalled it and it still isnt working.

I just upgraded my test forum to 4.0.4 PL1 and installed it, and it seems to be working fine. My test forum is completely clean; no custom mods or skins whatsoever.

For what it's worth, I installed this on VB 4.0.5, and I had to change line 40 in qas.php from:

To:
Odd issue. Don't know if it's my Apache, or the VB version.

Mind telling me what it was doing wrong before you made this code edit? I'm going to update to VB4 soon; I want to use the latest version if it's completely compatible with the mod.

this is what I am looking for thank you so much

Works great! Thanks a lot, I was really happy to see that this mod has been modified for vB 4.

Amazing mod. Works perfect on 4.0.6

Thank you!

I love this idea and mod, but I've got a few worries... Let's say I have another admin, that doesn't have full admin abilities, but does have some like editing users. So he could easily go to his profile and edit it and add my profile to it without needing a password. Then he could get on my account and have all abilities. I think this needs to be changed! Make it so only the superadmin can add/disable linked accounts. And make it so other admins can only do it if they have the other account's password.

Can I get an answer??

Love it.. Had used it a bit in past

Can you add the option for user group permission? I like to allow SMODs also to use it if I could like it was with vB 3 mod

Also, I noticed the drop down menu only shows up in Forum but not in CMS or Blogs

Thanks

EDIT: I just went ahead and linked each SMOD to other accounts from AdminCP and they now have the option to swich even as user.. Great

Thanks again

Even I as SuperAdmin can not link any account unless I know the password if I do it from UserCP... But from AdminCP you do not need the password.

My work around abuse is posted above.. I link accounts for whoever I want and they can use the feature without making the mod public



I hope this helps

I go to link a account and it comes up a 'page not found' did I do something wrong?

Make sure you upload the file qas.php to admincp folder

Ahhh a BIG thankyou ;-) I knew my brain was somewhere XD

installed;

definitely a must for Admins

edit

only the Admin can select which user to switch to if more than 1 account is linked;
the user can only switched to the Admin account

If you (the Admin) link a user's accounts, he/she can switch between all linked accounts

thanks

add the links to the profile in ACP
