Check for Duplicates

speedyuk7 · September 21, 2009, 10:40:59 AM

Hi, I'd like a mod that will show 'Check for Duplicates' like here:

On the members tab

A mod like that will be extremly useful for me, as on my site we do not allow multi accounts, and it will help me to find out the people who break the rules.

Hope someone could make this, thanks!

If you're relying on IP address it will be about as reliable as guessing.

IP addresses do not, have not and never will identify a given user specifically. Many users will see their IP address change periodically - over which they have no control. Other users find it changes every single page request.

Most forums don't allow multi accounting but for those who are even remotely clever, they'll use a proxy to hide their IP anyway, nullifying this whole process.

*whispers* It's already part of the SMF software, Arantor. speedyuk7 is just asking for it to be in the member's list as well. */whispers*

Would someone like to show me where it is then please because I can't find it at all.

2.0. Go to registration, settings, and change member approval to Admin Approval (or whatever the string got changed to in 2.0). Then go to admin, members, and the last tab it will have a list of members waiting for approval.

Arantor · September 21, 2009, 07:10:35 PM

That would be why I never saw it; I don't have forums on Admin Approval.

* Arantor probably should take a break, is seeing things that aren't there...

As it is on 'awaiting approval', it is also on 'awaiting activation'. All I want is so it would be on members tab too. Thanks

Please attach your Memberlist.template.php file.

Apologies for the delay - I have been busy elsewhere the last couple of days unfortunately.

Try this version.

Not to mention writing one mod, working on a second, negotiating a business transaction, applying for other jobs and sleeping in there somewhere.

I dunno, I didnt notice any errors the website was working, but the mod wasnt, there was just " ] "

Thanks for help

Arantor · October 02, 2009, 04:29:17 PM

If you only got a [, you should have had an error in the forum error log from the moment you loaded that page.

speedyuk7 · October 03, 2009, 09:05:48 PM

Just checked, no errors
