Alter Ego Detector 1.7.8

[Mouth]

Is this using my Report Improvements add-on or another add-on which provides report search?

Yes, it is Report Improvements add-on.

Is there any way to prevent duplicate reports all the time? Apart from IP whitelisting as that does not work in my country.

Using Reports rather than threads work, otherwise this add-on is limited in that respect.

It would be time saving if the report information included the user's warning point total and join date. Very useful info to see quickly.

HI, I installed and verified the detection cookie is making it to browser, but when testing I get no thread created and no conversation message. Not sure what I might have set wrong, pretty sure I have everything configured correctly. How should I troubleshoot this? Thanks

You have it set to require the cookie AND the IP to match, you probably want this to be 'or'.

Xon updated Alter Ego Detector with a new update entry:

1.7.3. - Maintenance update

• Add missing phrase, mostly impacts upcoming (paid) Report Queue's add-on which enables multiple queues to be used with the Report Centre.

Read the rest of this update entry...

This phrase is empty?

aed_thread_message_user_single

 

[Xon]

This phrase is empty?

aed_thread_message_user_single

It exists in the latest XML file;

<phrase title="aed_thread_message_single" version_id="1070000" version_string="1.7.0"><![CDATA[On {detectionType}, it looks like @{username2} is an alter ego of @{username1}...]]></phrase>

Try installing another add-on, or using "rebuild cache" option of add-on installer add-on. It might not have compiled properly.

 

[dutchbb]

The phrase you posted is aed_thread_message_single

But the empty phrase is aed_thread_message_user_single

Xon updated Alter Ego Detector with a new update entry:

How is this working for people these days?

 

[dutchbb]

Only using the cookie detection because nowadays ip adresses are interchangeable and smartphones are used more on public places ip.

So we get many hits with ip detection on that is of no use. We use the cookie detection in combination with the xenforo ip check to be sure.

Thanks @Xon for a great free addon.

I have email confirmation enabled for user registration. I want to know if this option does anything different, or is only useful if email confirmations are otherwise not enabled?

Require email confirmation (always notifies)

This allows you to push a user in the user moderation queue to requiring email confirmation. Otherwise they skip the email confirmation stage when you "approve" them.

I'm getting this too when I enable "Send PM" to send a PM to myself. In my case, the Username to create the notifications of an alter-ego and the PM recipient is the same. Could this be the problem, or maybe the usernames aren't being parsed correctly?

 

[Xon]

Please ensure the username matches exactly, the lookup system is kinda dumb.

Any plans to update this for XF 2.0?

Any plans to update this for XF 2.0?

Yes. I need to convert virtually all my XF1 add-ons to XF2 at some stage for usage on my own sites.

I can't currently offer timelines however
