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=125871


There are no differences as this plug-in works with the 3.5, 3.6 or 3.7 releases 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 nice addition to this hack would be a setting so that it PMs users who are using multi logins.

Basic, have it so you can use a per determened msg. Like

Quote:
{forum name} has detected you are using multiple logins. This violates {forum names} rules. This is your only warning. Pick an account and use it. Please PM the site admin to have one of the accounts deleted. If you are married or are roomates with a second user who uses this site and you use the same computer please inform your admin so he may add you to the multiple login detectors ignore list. Failure to repond to this PM will result in your being banned.
PM or Email option like this would be nice. Or Both.

I agree with cnutter !!!

What I do when I receive a pm is sending another pm to the member to ask him why he's connecting with 2 accounts !

If an admin and/or supermod have an account and then creates another one in a regular/other usergroup does this mod ignore the admin/mods other accounts?

As this works now. It can be set to ignore user groups. I have it set to ignore mods, super mods and admins.

The Auto PM msg or Email msg would save alot of time. Currently Im forced to PM or email or have one of my Mods of other admins PM or email each user who has multi logins. The automatice aspect would say alot of time and effort. And seeing that it already posts to a foru you set and PMs admins or mods you set it should be that hard to add this feature request. (SOrry I cant do it cause I dont know php) Anyway hope the author of this hack looks into adding this in his next release.

Not sure this answers my question. I will be more clear.

Say mod has account xxx under mod usergroup.
Then creates an account xxa under regular usergroup

Does the mod app ignore both accounts if mod usergroup is set to ignore. In other words does it ignore the xxa account cause it has the same ip as the mod usergroup account??

Thanks.

If your mods userid is added to teh ignore it will ignore any account created by him. At least thats the way its working on my site.

Finally, I made it work.

First of all, I did not uninstall the malfunctioning one. I did this edit found HERE
The observed it for a while and uninstalled it.

Then I redownloaded the product here and installed it. Works like a charm. It can PM me and create threads at the same time.
