Check for Duplicates

[speedyuk7]

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*

[Arantor]

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]

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...

[speedyuk7]

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

[Arantor]

Please attach your Memberlist.template.php file.

Here you go

Hi, any updates on this please?

[Arantor]

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]

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

[speedyuk7]

Just checked, no errors

[Arantor]

I think I know what the problem is, but I'm not in front of my usual PC for a week or so, so I can't really look into it, unfortunately.

You should add this var in Modifications.language.php

Code Select Expand

$txt['check_for_duplicate'] = 'Check for duplicates';

Also, you should find:

Code Select Expand

$txt['check_for_duplicate'] . '</a></td>

and replace:

Code Select Expand

$txt['check_for_duplicate'] . '</a>]</td>

Thanks, M-DVD, that's what I was thinking needed to happen but didn't have access to my PC to verify.

Hey M-DVD
I couldnt find this

Code Select Expand


$txt['check_for_duplicate'] . '</a></td>

in my modification english file, or the memberlist template, where is that?

I attach here my 2 modification english files, 1 from the default theme, and one from the theme my forum uses

Thanks

Hey thanks, unfortunately its still not working, I replaced the

Code Select Expand


$txt['check_for_duplicate'] . '</a></td>

with

Code Select Expand


$txt['check_for_duplicate'] . '</a>]</td>

and added the

Code Select Expand


$txt['check_for_duplicate'] = 'Check for duplicates';

To my modification.english file (in both default and my theme)

However its still not working, now I see it like this
