DESCRIPTION

This modification gives users the ability to easily switch between linked accounts. Accounts can be linked by administrators via admincp or by users via usercp as long as these users know the passwords for both accounts. Optionally, you can disallow users to link and unlink accounts from the usercp.

Great, this is just what I was looking for!

Anyone have this running on 3.7 by any chance???

[rayw]

Ok, it does work with 3.7 but the code in the navbar is a little different. Apart from that, the product installs perfectly as far as I can tell.

[plothook]

Anyone else having problems with this and the new security tokens in 3.6.10?

The problem shows up when you make new linkages, but the actual switching still works perfectly.

[plothook]

found the problem
edit template USERCP and find where you added (when you added this product):

<input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

and after it, add

<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: The above is all you need to fix the issue, but what I ended up doing was take all the code out of USERCP and made a new template called qas_usercp

and then added a plugin for this product at usercp_complete with the following code

eval('$template_hook["usercp_main_pos6"] = "' . fetch_template('qas_usercp') . '";');

and changed the code in the cache_templates plugin for this product to:

$globaltemplates[] = 'qas_switchbit';
if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'usercp') {
	$globaltemplates[] = 'qas_usercp';
	$globaltemplates[] = 'qas_userbit';
}

And then I reverted template USERCP - reverted templates are good. Once less template to review at the next upgrade!

plothook - Could you be a little more specific with what you did to fix the issue? I'm having a little trouble following along.

Thanks

Edit - Nevermind, I figured it out

[lostgirl815]

Has anybody tried this on 3.7 yet?

Doesn't work with vb 3.7.0
