Mod for posting as alternate users?

[BirdOPrey5]

Using code to "lock out" super admins is only effective if the regular admins don't have access to edit the plugins, since if they did they could easily remove the code anyway...

That said I also feel this mod is safe to use. If you don't trust someone they shouldn't be an admin to begin with.

Good point.

yes good point and most people will be using this mod at the beginning of their forums life to post as multiple users to encourage conversation so its most likely that there will just be the one admin

if you havea big forum with lots of admins etc chances are you wont need this mod

great job kh99

one last thing - how do i change the characters needed to be inputted to show the drop down list?

The only way I can see to do this is to edit 2 files: in clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_suggest.js, look for
"this.min_chars=3;" and change it to 1. In ajax.php, look for this (line 138 or so):

if ($vbulletin->GPC['fragment'] != '' AND strlen($vbulletin->GPC['fragment']) >= 3)

and change 3 to 1. Of course this will change it everywhere there's a username "suggest".

(I'm guessing there's some way to do it without editing the js file but I couldn't figure it out right away).

I don't have any trust issues with my one SA, I just have issues with other people installing a Mod that violates their security to the degree that Mod does.

Is it possible to post an announcement as another user with this mod?

Also, when I set a usergroup that can post as another user it won't work. It does work when I specify users based on userid though.

Now that I upgraded to 4.2.2 I'm getting this error circled at the top. Any ideas?
