No support by the author.

Due to the pricing and yearly fee of vBulletin I am no longer creating mods for vBulletin, instead I have stepped out of the shadow of vBulletin to create my own stand alone mods. I wish to thank everyone who downloaded and installed my mods but as of now with not being able to afford hosting and vBulletin, I decided to drop vBulletin so hopes of me returning would only happen if my newest venture brings me a nice profit.

Thank you all again
Steve

So this pretty much allows people to change the usernames, but the name stays the same in the profile, their name will be altered in the Whats going on box, PM boxes, etc?

If so then this is one awesome hack.

Right, but instead they keep their username and login with that but everyone will see their alias instead when posting, members list, and thus on. The Whats Going On box and PM box will be in this next version as I am having to fix a small problem with the PM box not wanting to show the field. Just remember tho, you must have the new profile field made required at registration or it all could go wacky.

Also, if you don't understand or know how to do custom hook locations, just send me a PM here and I will help you out. Or you can just visit the official support thread located here: http://www.vbrenegades.com/showthread.php?t=68

Cheers

We have gold installed on our test boards, and we upgraded from RC2, so yes it works.

nice plugin dude, just wondering is it possible to only allow certain usergroups to have a optional alias? would it be difficult to code?

It might be but, I'm not to sure. Since it's done through a profile field we'd have to get it to show in a diffent place, and than limit it.

Quick security question .. Does this check for identical aliases/usernames?

Could a user maliciously use this to impersonate another member? (either with his username or alias?)

___

Also, what happens if you use HTML markup for a username via their usergroup membership?

Right Now it doesn't. We are working on it though, and if it happens always check the "name" section of it as it'll tell you who the REAL poster is. Or click on it and click on "View public Profile" as that's the actual registered info.

Nothing, as of yet. I have an idea now... *writing it down for mythotical, as it's PHP related.* You could always use the BBCode for it for now... but that's had to do...

I am currently working on including the suggestions stated to the next release for 3.5.x and 3.0.x

I am also having to port over quick account switch but having a bit of trouble with getting it to insert and call info from the database so this may take a bit longer to finish than I had hoped.

Cheers and keep the suggestions coming

BTW, concerning the Alias Name being duplicated, I will try to get that part installed, but no username will be duplicated as the system already checks for duplicate usernames. I will probably go off that code for username check for alias check.
