LiveG Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Is the app checking done automatedly on every user then signed in since the installation of the app? If the user is registered before i install the app and then again after, will the app recognize it automatically? Edited October 25, 2022 by LiveG

Dll Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 This isn't proving too useful to us as it currently works, unfortunately. As it only sets the cookie when the user logs in, it's setting very few as most users just stay logged in for a long period. It also doesn't pick up new registrations as they log in either. Also, although it's not as useful as the cookie detection method, the ip method isn't using the x-forwarded ip if that is used on the forum, so gives most users the same IP on our community. LiveG 1

You can truncate the session table if you want so all users will be log out autmatically and they must log in again. 5 hours ago, Dll said: It also doesn't pick up new registrations as they log in either. New registrations will be detected on their second log in. This app scans and stores the data from the log in form. 5 hours ago, Dll said: the ip method isn't using the x-forwarded ip if that is used on the forum I am using the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to get users ip addresses, which contains the real IP address of the connecting party. That is the most reliable value you can find. That being said, if someone logs in through a proxy server, the proxy may have set the $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']. I will look into making some changes in that regard. Thank you for your feeback 😊 Dll 1

Miss_B Posted November 19, 2022 Author Posted November 19, 2022 I completely forgot that you can do that from the admin panel. Thank you guys 😊
Dll Posted November 19, 2022 Posted November 19, 2022 Thanks for your reply @Miss_B - to be honest it's not feasible for us to log all of our users out, ideally it would be good to set the cookie not just on login, but if an existing user posts and they don't already have the cookie set. And, without it setting a cookie at the point of registration, it's going to be of limited benefit for us. I'd be happy to consider paying for a custom build of this to include those options, if that's an option? Please pm me if it is.
LiveG Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 I have 43 pages in Shared Login IPs section. Am i supposed to check every page to find duplication?! @Miss_B

You can search for specific member(s) name(s) and/or ip addresses using the quick search fuction in the logs page.
LiveG Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 But i didn't needed this app if I knew which user to look for! This app is supposed to give me indications for duplication, not to make my life harder. You don't expect the admin to overlook 50 + pages to find duplication, right?

I am not sure that I understand what you mean. The app lists the duplications as shown in the screenshots. i.e. it does give you indications for duplications. You say that you have 43 pages, that means that a lot of login details have been shared. And yes, you will have to check them all if you want to see who is sharing the login details. I mentioned the search option if you had a specific member in mind that you wanted to check.

Some rows have two users; this is bad. Do you expect me to start over looking at 900 rows and find the duplications? Edited December 17, 2022 by LiveG

Some rows have two users; this is bad. Do you expect me to start over looking at 900 rows and find the duplications? The app queries its database table and displays the results only if more than one account is found sharing the log in details. Having 2 users or more in a row is not bad at all because the names listed in the row are the accounts that have shared the log in info which is the whole purpose/idea. Anyways, I can not reproduce this myself, nor does anyone else has reported such a thing. I can take a look at this, but I would need access to your Admin Panel.
LiveG Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 "bad" means that i understand it's a duplicate user that I have to take care of. What are you trying to reproduce? I didn't understand. Is something in the app not performing well?

What are you trying to reproduce? I didn't understand. Is something in the app not performing well? Not at all. The app performs very well, even if I may say so myself. What I meant by not reproducing, as previously mentioned, is the results displaying only one user. Results will always display more than one user.

In order to investigate the issue I need access to the admin panel. Otherwise I am afraid that there isn't much that I can do.
zenzoidman Posted December 23, 2022 Posted December 23, 2022 We're considering buying this app, but one question before we do: if we were to remove the app after installing it, would it also delete any database tables created by the app?

John Horton Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 So this tool is really best for seeing one account on many machines but not for as much for many accounts on one machine?
