 |
|
I've installed a mod that should allow us to switch between accounts instantly, and need to do testing on it, as well as a few cosmetic upgrades.
I ask that no one messes with it until I have a better chance to look over it and test it.
Thanks, DP

That's an awesome addition, Au'Marui!  This'll definitely come in handy for the Grove RP.

Well, hold on there.
I've found a bug that seems to have nothing to do with this mod, but prevents some accounts from updating their profile while acting normally for others. I've tested with this account and my normal one, and it fails everytime for this one but works normally for TheDarkPsycho account

found the problem...appearently, inspite of what it says, the forum does care what year you put in age, even if it's not required.
Ok, down to business:
Here's how to use the system:
| Quote: |
Pick an account
There isn't really a primary account with this setup, but you can set one with the checkbox
if you want to, the name of the primary account will appear below posts by other usernames.
Go into the profile for the account you chose, we'll say Me. Scroll down a bit and you'll see
a new section that says Account Link. Off to the side, there is a little text that says
'Click here to obtain a PID'. Click there.  You'll be on a page caled PID Request. Enter the
usename and password for the account you are in, and then a 5 digit, non-zero Personal ID.
Its a very stupid script, if your PID is taken, all it will do is say sorry, that's in use,
try again. If its not taken, the script will say your profile has been updated, and it will
set your PID in the database. Remember that PID.
Link an account
Log out of the account you just set your PID in, in our case Me. Login to an account you'd like
to link to the first, like It. Go into your profile, and scroll down to Account Link, but
instead of clicking to get a PID, you will enter the Username and Password of that first
account, in our case Me, and the PID you just set. Submit the profile, and now when you go to
the Index, the Switch jumpbox in the upper left should have the two account names listed in it,
in this case Me and It. You can now link any number of accounts with your PID and a
username/password pair of an account that you have already linked, so if you wanted to link Bob,
you would use your PID, and either the name and password combination from Me or It.
Switching Accounts
Go up to the dropbox in the upper left, choose which linked account you want to switch to, and
hit Switch. That's it. The account you were in is logged out, and the one you picked is logged
in.
|
I'm still checking, but I tried to modify it so that linked accounts will remain hidden from the general populace, but let me double check that before you go all willy nilly on this thing.

I like the system, but I have one question:

... what do we do?
Ahh, seems to be working nicely. I predict posts like this will annoy DP to no end. Happy day! |

Now excuse me, I need to make the other account I was planning to make for the Pumpkin Patch.

In response to Goron:
The same thing us wily old foxes did back in the days of yore. Log out, change login ID, log in.
Of course, there are subtler things, too.... but such secrets are only available with certain costs accrued to them.
I look forward to exploring this system, once Cthulu rears its gloriously necrotic head again. Demonic gods are so hand to deal with, and so rewarding with their dealings.
Not quite as much fun as insane gods, though...

You know, I've been wondering whether the Foundation gets money for each time an item is used....

 The Dark Psycho swings the Bass with all their might, but misses Badgerous Monkeys and give the air a good slapping.

I'm wondering what it's doing with a coconut.
