Mod of the Month winner!
Top 10 most installed mods for vB3.6!

Same plug-in found here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=107566

There are no differences as this plug-in works with both 3.5 and 3.6 versions of vBulletin.


If you are like me and migrated from .threads, a common modification was an "AE detector", a simple mod that saved a cookie of a history of ids logged into on your site. If someone logged into more than one account, you got a PM letting you know that your site was being accessed from multiple accounts.

Over the years this was very helpful in identifying users who were posting under multiple accounts (alter-egos!) and users who would return after being banned.

You might be wondering why I don't use the vbcookie call - well, thats because on logout all vB cookies are cleared, so we need to store a cookie that is not effected by the login/logout process.

New Installation
1. Add New Product with attached XML
2. Go to vBulletin Options -> AE Multiple Login Detection Settings and set your specific settings.

Time to install: Easy - 2 minutes.

Upgrade
If you installed this as a Plug-in manually, you can delete that plugin and install this Product, just make sure to go into the Options and set them accordingly.

I hope you find this useful and will click INSTALL if you use it; should it prove useful to enough people I can look at making this installation more automated without the need for edits and an Admin Options page.

To upgrade you will want to reimport this XML file and edit your options accordingly.

1.0.3
-----
. Added a check to ensure that users weren't deleted when reporting violations
. added htmlspecialchars_uni call to username

Note: I am unable to get the call to construct_phrase with $vbphrase['multiplelogin_alert'] to work reliably, as such the $message variable is still set manually inside the plug-in and not via the phrase. If anyone has an idea of why this might not always work, I'm all ears.

1.0.2
-----
. Updated to include exclusion groups, users
. Changed so PM is sent by ae sender id

1.0.1
-----
. Released as a Product (thank you PHPGeek2k3 for your help)
. Added option to post to a forum versus send a PM (or both)
. All settings moved into Admin Option

1.0.0
-----
Initial release.

I heard in some states this is considered a form of spyware unless mentioned in the sites TOS. I was curious if anyone knew this to be true and if so did you update your terms of service to be covered legally. (and if so what exactly did you update it with) Hope this kind of question is ok to ask thanks for any help.

Why did you exclude the first line:
PHP Code:
//$message = construct_phrase($vbphrase['multiplelogin_alert'], htmlspecialchars_uni($vbulletin->userinfo['username']), $andids);
                            
$message htmlspecialchars_uni($vbulletin->userinfo['username']) . " seems to have multiple personalities using $andids sharing the same computer. No soup for you! and you! and you!"
??

I'm using vB 3.6.5 and it just tripped on users that haven't even been activated yet and are for sure different people (I know them both in RL)

Not sure if this was mentioned before, but... If there are multiple forums at the same site, it can trip on different users using the same ID on both sites. I checked it out on a test forum -- created new users & got the notifications that multiple users logged in from the same place. Once installed on an active forum, a new test user there ended up with notifications that listed users that certainly never used my PC, simply because they had the same IDs as the test users on the test forum. That might explain some false positives.
