Quick Account Switch v1.2.
by Ianomed Uses of this hack: This account will let you string together several accounts owned by the same person. Of course it will also let you string together accounts owned by different people, but that's a dangerous thing to do.Changes required:
Known issues with v1.2: Changing the username of an account that's either a slave or master, it does not update these cached usernames. This will be taken care of in v1.3.Item of note: For some obscure reason vBportal does NOT play nice with this hack. It'll introduce cookie/header errors. Either do not install this hack if vBportal is installed, or vice versa. Since I don't plan on spending $20 to buy software I'll never use, there's no intention on my part to work out that problem. You're good to go with vbadvanced CPMS, however, this has been tested.Warranties: None, in the instructions you'll notice I tell you to backup before applying the hack. I've tested it on 4 boards, each of which have additional hacks installed, and it runs on many more. If it doesn't for you then, well... roll back the changes you've just made and blame yourself.Tested (and works) on:
Future plans:

Updated to v1.1, but I still get the error logging out message doing the method I explained.
I switch from "Oblivion Knight" to "Test Account", I then try to instantly switch back from "Test Account" to "Oblivion Knight" and the userid when logging out is parsed as 0 which gives the error logging out message. Is that something that can be fixed, or a design flaw in the way that vB handles user sessions? |

Do you have any unusual cookie/session settings in vB? That being shorter than usual timeout, things like that.
For some reason the session has expired when you switch back to Oblivion Knight. I'll look into this for 1.1.1 or 1.2 *nods* If it can be fixed, which I believe it can, then it's likely not going to be a drastic change to the code I introduced in login.php. |

Nope.. My cookie settings are all default I believe.!
Time-Out for Cookie: 900 Path to Save Cookies: / Cookie Domain: GZIP HTML Output: Yes GZIP Compression Level: 1 Add Standard HTTP Headers: No Add No-Cache HTTP Headers: Yes Remove Redirection Message Pages: Yes Could it have anything to do with this setting: Simultaneous Sessions Limit This is currently on 0 (disable).. |

If a limit is disabled... then probably not. As it is I'm fairly certain I'll have this problem worked out tomorrow, in which case I'll up the version to 1.1.1. for maintenance release. The other improvements as charted in the first post will still be for v1.2.

I have same problem too. Logs me out (timeout) or prevents me from login out. I noticed it does so when I go in admincp and spend sometime in there

@Lionel: Should be fixed in 1.1.1., released tomorrow/today (midnight here now) sometime if it goes according to plan. I'm going to more closely model the switch code creating the cookie to vB's own login code.

regardless of inconveniences, I'll never uninstall that hack...

Alrighty then
The session expiration problem has been solved, maintenance version 1.1.1. released. For those who have v1.1. already installed there is an attachment with the upgrade instructions, switch_11_to_111.txt. Anyone installing from the new installation instructions (switch_111.txt) will end up with v1.1.1., which has the same fix applied. Both of these files can be found in this thread's first post. No updates to this hack are expected to take place until v1.2., introducing new features (and less overhead). |
