MUDD2 Multi Useraccount Detection Dinger

[[R] NuclearGeneral]

MUDD - Multiple Useraccount Detection Dinger v. 2.0.0 BETA 1

(Yes, I did work hard to make the acronym fit)

 

MUDD is an alarm system to catch members using multiple profiles from the same computer. When a user is detected using multiple accounts, a report in the report centre is created. It will bust a good chunk of the people but remember no system is foolproof and every approach has its downsides.

 

Additional Features:

• Easily whitelist computers and users from the applications admin area
• Whitelist users and computers from the report centre
• You can set certain members to use a debug mode which can help you diagnose missed trips

 

 

 

Please Note:

• This app is in BETA so there are more than likely going to be a few issues
• There are additional methods of catching duplicates that I am working on implementing but can't promise when those will be out
• This app is NOT compatible with earlier versions of MUDD. If you have the old MUDD 1.x hooks installed, get rid of them
• This app was developed for IPB 3.1.1 - don't think it will work on earlier versions.

 

 

To install:

• Upload the contents of the UPLOAD_INTO_FORM_ROOT folder into your forums folder. Be sure to keep the folder structure intact.
• Browse to your admin->System->Manage Applications & Modules page
• Scroll down to the bottom and click the Install link for MUDD

 

Once installed:

• Configure via the My Apps->MUDD->Settings page
• You can tweak who can view the reports via the MUDD report plugin (admin->System->Report Centre->Plugin Manager-> Edit Mudd Settings)

 

 

To Debug:

• Browse to MUDD settings page ( My Apps->MUDD->Settings )
• In the Debug Member IDs - enter a comma separated list of members who will see the debug box
• An annoying white box will appear at the top of each of these users screens giving some info that can help track down missed trips.

 

Stuff to do:

• Increasing detection methods
• Sort out trip notifications
• Have a cold beer

 

I look forward to comments, suggestions and small sacrifices of Oreo shakes in my honour.
