Trying to install this, but there's no XML file?
Alter Ego Detector 1.7.8
- Thread starter Liam W
- Start date
I just double checked the latest zip. The xml file is called "addon-liam_ae_detector.xml" in the root of the zipfile.
Hi Chimpie, I've taken over development & support for this addon.
Please make sure your account/user group has the "View Alert Ego Report" usergroup permission.
The Report Centre accessible from the front-end. Assuming you haven't redirected it to post as a thread.

The Thread Titel looks like this.
{username} ist ein Alter Ego!
and the links into the thread and also in the reports are like this
Es sieht so aus, als wäre Karl Auer25 ein Alter Ego von Karl Auer...
Where are the links for the first name is http://{userlink2}/ and for the second this http://{userlink1}/
Using your latest release and Xenforo 1.4.5

@teletubbi do you have the report center redirected to a forum? Or is this just the thread output option of this addon? (Both can result in threads being created)
Does the report look correct?
I will hopefully have time to look at this within the next few days.
Can you check the contents of the phrases: aed_thread_subject and aed_thread_message ?
The correct english contents are:
aed_thread_message:
Code:
It looks like [url="{userLink2}"]{username2}[/url] is an alter ego of [url="{userLink1}"]{username1}[/url]...aed_thread_subject:
Code:
[{username1} & {username2} are alter egos!aed_thread_subject_count:
Code:
{username} has {count} alter egos!Changing from userlink2 -> userLink2 and userlink2 -> userLink2 in your versions should work.
The correct variable names should be: {userLink2} and {userLink1}. The phrases aed_thread_message & aed_thread_subject likely need updating.After updating, the user links in the post messages are incorrect. The userlinks in the posts are linked to
etcCode:http://{userlink2}
So {userlink2} and {userlink1} aren't getting parsed or whatever you call it
{userid} needs to be an actual member number. Either as a custom created user, or your default admin user.
The IP Check should have a default of ~15 minutes. In the future I may restrict it down to 5 minutes or even off.
I'ld recommend disabling the IP check, as it isn't terribly useful these days.

Works great, but is there a way to exclude specific users from this? I have a few Husband / Wives that use my sites, and I get a ton of reports from these users.
I would like to enter their user id number to ignore them. (and no I don't want to move them to a different / new usergroup.

You'll need to create a new usergroup that is able to bypass the alter ego detector; put any pairs or groups into this additional group and the reports will stop.
It's the only way to do it.
If you are using the report option; just resolve the report and ensure the reports are not bumped when in the resolved state (but it can be handy to bump them in the rejected state).Works great, but is there a way to exclude specific users from this?

IMO, This is better than completely disabling the alter-ego detector for that set of users.
You can just setup the reports stuff so it reports once, then resolve it as a known pair.It's the only way to do it.
