[Plugin Request] Quick Switch Accounts

[Kallison]

In v4.5, I found a code that allowed members to switch between accounts without having to log out and log back in again (we have separate accounts for each character on our board) and they have mentioned that this is one of the features they miss most in v5. Is it possible to have a plug-in that will either add a "quick switch" bar or a code that can be inserted into the sidebar that functions the same way as it did in v4.5? This is the code from 4.5:


<form action="http://anikira.proboards.com/index.cgi" method="post" name="loginform" onSubmit="disable(this)" target="_top"><input type="hidden" name="action" value="login2"><b>Username</b> <input type="text" name="username" size="15" tabindex="1" maxlength="25"/> <br><b>Password</b> <input type="password" name="password" size="16" tabindex="1"/>
<br><center><input type="submit" value="Switch Accounts" tabindex="3"/></center></form>
I'm not sure if it would be better adapted as a plug-in or as a code suitable to v5.

This is already possible. Click on the Switch Account link in the lower right of the screen.

To add on to what Tressa has stated above, in v5, accounts need to be linked to a global account. If your members have all their character accounts linked to the same global account, they can use the aforementioned account switch button () in the lower-right to change accounts in a few clicks.

Good morning!

Where do you post that code on v4.5, please? I've been looking for that kind of code for a while.

Thank you!
