Admin Log In As User

[pgb]

i would be willing to contribute some cash if anyone gets this working with vbseo's "rewrite member's profile urls" turned on.

[inzandity]

Worked with 4.0.6 with the fix mentioned. Thanks!

[biggeorge]

Hi and thanks for the great work.

I can confirm that this is incompatible with VBSEO's' "Rewrite Member Profile URLs?" function. I'm using vb 4.0.6.

If you edit the mod and change the Hook Location of "member_complete" the links do appear by they do nothing other than refresh the page.

Personally I want to keep the URL rewrites so the generated links are no good to me.

However the mod is still usable by going to the user manager in admincp, finding the user and selecting "Log in as this user" from the dropdown list at the top.

You have to manually log back in again afterward as the top revert login link also fails but this is still a very useful mod.

Many thanks.

I just spent 10-mins trying to figure out why the page was refreshing :)

Thanks!

[kevius]

tks a lot for the Fix !!

thanks.

this made the log in as user appear but the link just redirects me back to the user profile not logged in as the user. wonder if vbseo has something to do with this?

[Tize.]

Yes the problem is vBseo.

I followed the instructions and edited the permissions but for some reason the link is now showing up in the user profiles for me. Any help?

4.0.7

[bigrover]

I have this mod installed with 4.0.7 and the fix for the user profile as described a few posts back. When I am logged in as an admin and use this mod via the user's profile page it works as described. I get to the users profile and can then navigate anywhere on the site as that user.

But,

If I am logged into the admincp (as an admin obviously) and go to the user manager, select a user, then use the Quick User Links menu option Log In As This User, I get sent to the users profile page. If I click on ANY other link I immediately get changed back to my admin login.

I don't know what the difference is between the two methods.

[Martini-man]

It's not working for me either...

[Pro-eSports.com]

I followed the instructions and edited the permissions but for some reason the link is now showing up in the user profiles for me. Any help?

4.0.7

Bump!

[Guest191216]

Hi,
looks great, and I do need it.
But I am hesitating to use it in my 407cms until I see positive confirmation that it really works
txs
kh

[Pro-eSports.com]

Uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it still doesn't work. Permission is set and I checked it for the 2 styles I have (Default one included). No result. So I guess this isn't compatible with 4.0.7.

[Footman]

I run 4.0.7 and it works fine. I haven't run into any problems.

[Guest191216]

Works great with 4.0.7CMS !
Did edit the hook, now I can see the link "login as this user" in the user profile as well.
Txs !!!

[WalterRaffoni]

Can you post this for vBulletin 4.1.0 Alpha 1?

[kylek]

This works fine on 4.1.0 beta 1.

[Diehardshorty]

Great mod always have had this installed on my board its useful

[fth]

i installed but there no any login as user in cp

Powered by vBulletin® Version 4.0.1

[cyberchief]

Not working in 4.0.8. No link in the user's profile.

[Netz]

Not working in 4.0.8. No link in the user's profile.

Same in 4.1

[Boofo]

It is working fine in 4.1 if you make the template edit change that is listed elsewhere in the thread. I made the change back in 4.0 somewhere and this has been working fine all the way up to 4.1.0 PL2.

[Netz]

Download the zip file, open the xml file with an editor and:

find
$template_hook['profile_right_first'] .= $tab_html;


replace with
$template_hook['profile_sidebar_first'] .= $tab_html;


Save the xml file and re-import with the overwrite option set to 'yes'.
Thanks mate! I think I found it!

Is there anybody who can at this information to first post or just update the product, please?

[cyberchief]

Thanks for the code edit. Here is an issue now, though. I have moved to 4.1. I made the change above... tried to import and get an error saying it is not compatible with 4.1. Just 4.0.

[djbaxter]

Thanks for the code edit. Here is an issue now, though. I have moved to 4.1. I made the change above... tried to import and get an error saying it is not compatible with 4.1. Just 4.0.

Open product-abe1_admin_log_as_user.xml again.

FIND at line 10:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="4.1.0 alpha 1" />

CHANGE to:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="4.9.9" />

Import product again using "overwrite".

[cyberchief]

Strange. I made the above two code modifications, and the "log in as" link is still not there.

[cyberchief]

Nevermind... figured it out. Had to set the admin options.

[chocothunda]

Mind updating this to work with 4.1 please :/

[Boofo]

It works fine with 4.1, as long as you make the template hook change and set the permissions.

[wolfey]

Cant import in 4.1

working on 4.1 here after doing the xml edits...thanks

[wolfey]

Can you tell me what to change?

Nevermind..got it

[res6cue]

Awesome mod, no admin should be without it!

[Sforums]

I see the link in ACP but not under member profile. Why is this?

[Boofo]

Did you make the required change from earlier in the thread?

[Sforums]

Found it, applied changes and works.
Thank you Boofo.

[Phototrope]

Didn't work on 4.0.7. Uninstalled

[Boofo]

Yes it does work on 4.0.7, IF YOU MAKE THE CHANGE.

Post 202 in this thread, which is a few pages back.

[kroko]

i really love this hack but can't install it. can somone tell me how to fix this so it works with the newest version of vbulletin?

[RK KINGKONG]

maybe will there be an update for vb 4.1 p2 ?

[Boofo]

Again... it works fine with the latest vb version. Read the last few posts and you will see where the fix is. If you all can't look through 16 pages, then maybe you don't need it installed.

[RK KINGKONG]

I wish i wouldve seen the fix sooner but being a noob . I guess i screwed myself . I had uninstalled it already . so now seeing the fix it says to make the changes n install as an overwrite . i got that part but now it wont let me install the original .xml saying its not compatible .:
The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.1.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 alpha 1 / Incompatible with 4.1.0 alpha 1 and greater)
so by uninstalling it i guess i screwed my self.

[RK KINGKONG]

OK I got it after making the proper xml edits and going to usergrousp/adminstrator permissions and setting it to yes , it now works thanks BOOFO for making me look deeper into this , I wasnt aware for I know absolutely nothing about this , a buddy of mine set up the site before leaving to the military and im stuck with a crash course in things i never knew anything about . LOL

RUNNING GREAT ON 4.1 PATCH 2

Glad you got it working. ;)

[Athena1984]

You shouldn't have to read through 16 pages... it should be in the first post!

[Boofo]

You shouldn't have to read through 16 pages... it should be in the first post!

"Should be" and "is" aren't always the same, especially when it is clearly stated in the beginning that the mod is "not supported".

[Athena1984]

Yeah, understood but, if it is clear that people are having issues it would be easier to just post fixes that other members have found instead of letting a thread get unnecessarily long which leave users having to read through a lot of BS before finding a fix.

Anyway, I've found the fix for 4.1.x

Here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2131386&postcount=285) and here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2055316&postcount=202) are the posts for it for anyone who needs it.

[Boofo]

Well, when the fix has been referenced to and someone can't read one of two posts back to see it, that is getting a little lazy and ridiculous.

[Athena1984]

Yeah, you're probably right but, I'm just saying. I figured someone had posted a fix for this which is why I started to read through first. I always check the last post and go backwards if the mod is old/unsupported. Some people may start from the beginning which is a lot to sort through before getting to a solution. I really wasn't trying to be rude though... I just understand from the other stand point how irritating it can be. :)

[LLent]

i have this installed and i am starting to not see the log in as user in profile on many members how do i remedy this ...

[Athena1984]

Did you upgrade your forum to the latest release? If so, those links in post 310 should help. I just installed it today and it works like a charm. :)

[LLent]

i am using 4.0.7 looked at your links an i am good on that but still have issue with not seeing link in user profile on some members ...in acp i see the link when i choose it redirects me back to user profile...

[nul7]

Thank you very much for the info regarding the fix for this hack.

[tlwwolfseye]

Just installed that on a Custom Theme. It installed without issues on my vB 4.1 PL2 but I dont actually see the line to click so I can login as that other user. And in the instructions there is no manual stuff that I can find which I maybe had to change to make it show on a custom theme. Probably is asked before, but how can i make it show ?

Thanks.

[tlwwolfseye]

Scratch that, found the hook and what to do. ;)
Cheers

[iBaker]

Everyone keeps asking how to fix this mod for v4.1...I posted the fix back at post 202 (I was aka Wilfred1 but after asking .org twice to combine my usernames they haven't responded) so I thought it might help if I attached the complete mod with the fixes in it for use on v4.1 PL2.

125317

For my site I have also made these two changes that you may like to also do but note they suit my site and may not suit yours.

1. Make the link look part of the list in the user profile:
125318

Change the entire memberinfo_block_admin_log_in_as_user template to just having:
<li><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/network.png" class="inlineimg" alt="" /> <a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw userinfo.userid}&amp;admin_log_in_as_user={vb:raw userinfo.userid}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase log_in_as_user}</a></li>

In the MEMBERINFO template starting at line 262 you will find:
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<vb:comment>sidebar</vb:comment>
{vb:raw template_hook.profile_sidebar_first}

Replace that with:
{vb:raw template_hook.profile_sidebar_first}
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<vb:comment>sidebar</vb:comment>

2. Add the link to the Member Action Drop Down
125319

Open the memberaction_dropdown template you find almost at the bottom this block of code:
<vb:if condition="$show['emaillink']">
<li class="right">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/email.png" alt="" />
<a href="sendmessage.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=mailmember&amp;u={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}" rel='nofollow'>
{vb:rawphrase send_email}
</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

Right below that add this block:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6)">
<li class="right">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/network.png" class="inlineimg" alt="" />
<a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;admin_log_in_as_user={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}" rel="nofollow">
Log In As This User
</a>
</li>
</vb:if>
NOTE in the added block above you will need to change the usergroup ID's to the ones to match the ones your have given permissions to use the mod. For example in the above you will see bbuserinfo, 5,6 this shows that I have given permission to Usergroups 5 and 6 to use the mod.

Hope this helps so others don't have to go trolling through all the previous thread posts.

[K!nG]

i installed it when i had 4.0.8 and now m running 4.1.0 P2 and its working jst da same n perfect :)

The only fix is the profile_sidebar_first template_hook change. What other fixes are there in your zip file?

[bintoro]

Thanks and thanks to you too iBaker . It runs now.

[iBaker]

The only fix is the profile_sidebar_first template_hook change. What other fixes are there in your zip file?
Boofo...there is also the change to the maxversion to allow for vb 4.1+

[Peter Cook]

When will you update this to work with 4.1.0? As this is reporting incompatible?

[RedKilla]

Uploaded the fix and its still not working on my 4.10, I have nothing in the profile field or in the user manager

[kether1]

This will not work with VBSEO rewrite of member.php. Any fix?
Kether

[horussjr]

use this instead VSa - Login To User Account (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233350) works on 4.1.1 like a charm

[RedKilla]

Tried that one too..No Luck..I havent gotten this to work since vb 3.8

[iBaker]

I think there are issues with this mod and vbSEO...as I no longer have vbSEO the mod is working with no problems on 4.1 using the details in Post#319

[Boofo]

2. Add the link to the Member Action Drop Down[/B]
125319

Open the memberaction_dropdown template you find almost at the bottom this block of code:
<vb:if condition="$show['emaillink']">
<li class="right">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/email.png" alt="" />
<a href="sendmessage.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=mailmember&amp;u={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}" rel='nofollow'>
{vb:rawphrase send_email}
</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

Right below that add this block:
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6)">
<li class="right">
<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_siteicons}/network.png" class="inlineimg" alt="" />
<a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}&amp;admin_log_in_as_user={vb:raw memberinfo.userid}" rel="nofollow">
Log In As This User
</a>
</li>
</vb:if>

There is actually an easier way to do this and have it show up in the drop-down board-wide, by using a template and a hook.

[nul7]

wo0rked like a charm, thanks for the template code modifications as well; makes life simple now.

[Boofo]

There is a little known array_merge error with this mod that will show up if you edit a signature, among other things, in the ModCP. To fix it, find this code in the useradmin_edit_start hook:

$quicklinks = array_merge(
$quicklinks,
array(
"../member.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . "&amp;admin_log_in_as_user=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']
=> $vbphrase['log_in_as_user']
)
);


and change it to:

$quicklinks[
"../member.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "u=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . "&amp;admin_log_in_as_user=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']
] = $vbphrase['log_in_as_user'];

[Xerosis]

[garrettjewell]

nagging question, can i see members pm's?

[Boofo]

You can see everything they see when you are logged in as them.

[Been Told]

any edit or worked directly?
You can't install it on anything newer than vB 4.0. They probably had it installed before upgrading to vB4.
What you can try is edit the XML file.
Change:
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="4.1.0 alpha 1" />
to something like
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.1.2" maxversion="4.1.5" />
I haven't tested it on my install (4.1.3) yet.

[Special Pages]

Please update this for 4.1.1! Thanks!

[Rofo]

Thanks Boofo, that worked for me. However in the 2nd screenshot, I don't have the same option to log in as user (missing that link). I have to either edit profile > Quick User Links or just jump into the adminCP > Users > Search for Users > etc...

Did you get your link to show up in the persons profile page?

[Boofo]

Yes, there is a plugin edit that needs to be made for the link to show up in the profile for later version of vb 4. It should be in the first few pages of this thread somewhere.

[dustoff99]

Works great....

[Boofo]

Glad you got it working. ;)

[Hakan39]

Invalid version. does not work :(

[Boofo]

Invalid version. does not work :(

It does work. Did you even read any of the last few posts?

[dustoff99]

Odd, now when I am in my adminCP and click "Log In As This User", my (ie9) browser attempts to block a popup. Then it takes me back to my adminCP versus the users profile. I did click allow this popup and it didn't open the User Profile page.

Checked with my safari browser and it worked great. It launched a new window and was on as the user.

My OS: Windows 7
IE 9

[deverill2010]

I want to install this but just want to double check it is what I think it is.

When you log in as a user, do you inherit their permissions. I.e you see ONLY what they see?

I need this now and again to check I have permissions set up right on articles etc so it's handy not having to physically log out, on as a user and back out and on again.

[Boofo]

Yes, you actually become that user, so to speak. I use it for the same purpose, checking permissions.

[deverill2010]

Thanks, Best get installed then will save me a load of time :)

[Subah]

It is work fine in 4.1.3 but i can not see it in the user profile i must go to the cpanel to login !

In order to get this to work in 4.1.5 you will need to download the file attached in this post: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2219692&postcount=376

Open file in notepad, wordpad or your favorite text editor.

Search for: maxversion="4.1.5"

Set allow over write to YES (if upgrading)
Install & configure as normal :D

I have been running this mod since it's introduction.

Today i discovered that admins can also read users PM's.

Is there anyway to make it so Admins CAN'T read PM's?

Cheers :)

It's not pretty but a quick edit will help.

Edit the plugin: Admin Log In As User on fetch_userinfo_query hook:

Change the line:
if (!$processed_admin_log_in_as_user)

to
if (!$processed_admin_log_in_as_user AND THIS_SCRIPT != 'private')

That will not allow an Admin to view a user's PMs. If they try they will be redirected to their own PMs instead.

It's ugly because the "You are logged in as someone else" banner doesn't go away but it does what is has to do.

[AusPhotography]

Is there anyway to make it so Admins CAN'T read PM's?

Cheers :)

Yes, don't send any. Fact is that anyone who can get to the database (i.e. site sysadmins) can read anything, plus Admin's via the AdminCP.

To deal with this issue we changed Private -> Personal and put a specific disclaimer in our site rules.
The Administrator(s) reserve the right to access any or all content that you transmit using the site, or that may be stored within the site and it's databases.
and
The Personal Message (PM) system is called Personal only in that messages are not posted to the public forums.
At least we are upfront and honest about it.:up:

I'm running 4.1.6 and Cannot get this to work. It worked flawlessly for me on 4.0.6, but after updating today I don't have the option in the dropdown any more. I think i've tried all the mods/edits in the thread, and have read through all 26 pages! but still no joy. I've uninstalled and re-installed but i'm hitting a dead end. Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated.

[3d3d3d]

Completely setup the forum again from scratch and this time it worked. Not sure what was stopping it from the upgrade from 4.0.6, but at least it's going now.

Im moved from phpBB to vbulletin for ease of use, not to manually code broken mods... as I said this would have been removed from phpBB database and an abandoned mod. Not being an ass, just expected better from a paid forum software

Mate the mods you get on this board are FREE and are not the property of vB. You paid for vB and you got what you paid for and in my book you made a very wise choice over phpBB.
The coder that wrote this mod does not support it and therefore you will not find any updates but it still works on the latest versions. Read through the posts on this thread and you will find what you are looking for.

[datoneer]

Working perfect with 4.1.8. Amazing mod Rated 5 thanks.

I just set maxversion="" and that's it. Save xml and upload

[jaxo]

thanks datoneer, That worked, cheers m8

[BirdOPrey5]

FYI - Min version is inclusive, max version is exclusive... You need to set the max version above the version you want to use it on, so 4.2.0 or 5.0.0 in this case.

As for the ridiculousness of removing a great mod that only needs a simple edit to work, that doesn't even warrant a response.

You don't have to disable vBSEO entirely, just the URL rewrite for the member profiles.


Go into your vBSEO Control Panel
Click on URL Rewrite Settings
Click on the Advanced Settings tab
Scroll down to Rewrite Member Profile URLs? and set this to NO

I use this mod in 4.1.9. I do get nervous about mods not supported. I am also using vbSEO and have not made any template changes. I don't have it on user profiles, but I don't really need it there either. As long as I can go the admincp, I am happy. If it throws out db errors, then I really worry.

I quoted all these posts for those who are having problems. These are easy fixes to have a great mod like this one.

This mod still works fine for me on 4.1.10- but I only use it via the Admin CP.

[res6cue]

I've used it numerous times over the past few days on 4.1.10 with no trouble at all. I've used it from both the forum and the Admin CP. No problem with either, and I'm using custom themes as well.

[MasterofWorlds]

I will look at tweaking this a bit since it looks to only have the link in the admin cp if you have the VSa - Advance Forum Rules mod installed. Where the image shows it should have, i have it saying forums rules not accepted yet. But other than that looks to work fine with 4.1.10

[Mad Dawg]

I changed the maxversion="4.1.10" in the above line to maxversion="5.0.0"

In that case I'm requesting the mods at this forum to allow someone else to continue development of this great plugin ... I'd hate to see it die because the original developer lost interest.

@Mods: Is it possible for someone else to be assigned as the developer to this mod (or do they have to start a new thread and post a new mod) ?

+1 on that, and I ask the new developer to allow it to be used by super mods and mods as well as admins- it is a very handy little utility.

Nelson

[Paul M]

You cannot just allow someone else - the original author has copyright on the code, no one else can use it without their permission.

This is not the only mod, Valter has a mod on here similar to this one.

I upgraded my custom skin to its 4.2.0 version. Then I reuploaded this plugin, which previously was working. Now its still not showing up anymore.

Then you need to re-edit the template in the skin.

I never edited anything before nor is their instructions on any manual edit.

Then they must have changed something in the new version of the skin.

It does work i know that as i use it on 4.2
I suspect thats because the version number in the xml has not been updated.
But i can say its working for me in 4.2

[carloscuevas]

thanks, how can i update version number in the xml ??

[BirdOPrey5]

Open the xml file in a text editor, look for max version, change it to a higher number.

[Disco_Stu]

I'm running 4.2 and when I changed the max version in the xml (just scan for "max") to 4.2.0 it didn't work. I had to change it to 4.2.5 for it to work but it does seem to be working now.

Marking as installed.

[BirdOPrey5]

Yeah, you need to make it a version ABOVE the version you are using.

Next time you have to do this to a mod just set it to 5.0.0 so you don't need to worry about it.

This seems to have clashed with advanced forum rules as the place where the login as user is supposed to display is missing where it should be but the advanced forum rules is present.

[Nelson58]

+1 Force.

No one asked or cares whether you think this mod is necessary or not- or what you think of the coder for writing it.

This mod isn't used by us to spy or snoop on users. It is used to help users log on when they have password troubles, to figure out if they can access certain features, to adjust their posting and other settings. With this, we can see exactly what error messages the user is seeing.

We find this extremely useful. What isn't useful to you might be very useful to someone else. But either way, don't disrespect others' hard work or ascribe some malicious purpose to someone's work.

Every single major website or corporate website has the ability to access users or members information. I have called on many a company from banks to local companies with certain problems from time to time. They respond with "wait while I access your account", etc.

This mod isnt used to give permissions to moderators or even just administrators (at my site), just one super admin.

And yes, it is all about ethics. Website operators that have ethics, have a reputation of being ethical. Its why my site is going on its 9th year. I dont play that way(unethical). I play straight. And my members know that and have come to expect that.

And yes, it works on 4.2 pl3

[CoZmicShReddeR]

How can I get this working on vB4.2.0 PL3?

It does work... Maybe you are not seeing it? Go to the users profile if its activated you should see the login as user in the left panel of their profile page!

[Forensic]

How can I get this working on vB4.2.0 PL3?

Make sure the maxversion is set high enough.
If you had it working on 4.2.0 PL2 I believe you had to modify the XML before uploading to make it work.

Update the XML and re-upload with overwrite allowed.



For the haters, its great for testing new changes without having to log out and back in twice each time you want to view what you did.

My use is that I have several members complain of issues such as not being able to see certain areas....IE: Visitor tabs in others profiles. So to be able to view from their point of view is very helpful.

My issue is that when I click on log in as user it logs me out and back to the log in screen. It will not let me go into any other acct. Im gonna try to edit the XML to max version and will report back.

[justicechick]

Works perfect! Thanks

install this (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.2.3.html) then right click the product-abe1_admin_log_as_user.xml and open it with what you just installed

find this line

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="4.1.0 alpha 1" />


change it to

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="" />

Thank you so much. I am giving this a go now..

YAY I did my first modification. It's installed all fine and I changed the admin permissions to use it. Now how do I use the mod?! lol I am so happy to have done one though.

Right so I have set up a new user, but there is nothing on their profile that says 'log in as this user' where have I gone wrong? Talk about getting excited too soon......

check settings see if you need to add your id somewhere so you can use it. I don't use it myself so cant see the settings myself. Check there profile from the admin panel

*go to admincp.
admincp -> Usergroups -> Administrator Permissions -> [Edit Permissions]) and allow your self to use the hack
*search for user name
*go to his profile
*at the menu you see with the drop down menu, it is the last at the bottom.
*click on it and it is active.

Great mod, installed and running on vb4.2
Just one thing, you can move the notification banner at the bottom of the page?

I would leave it where it is, so you don't forget you are on someone else's account .

I hope one of you smart coders out there make this for 5.0 because this is a great mod. I have helped so many users using this mod. It's great to have.

@Annonaria, that would be the top of the page not the bottom. Does anyone on this forum speak English?

[DAMINK]

Does anyone on this forum speak English?

Yea a couple of people do.......
Oh wait that was sarcasm wasnt i?
Perhaps you should take english lessons?
From what i can tell the above poster asked to have it moved to the bottom.
Bah why am i biting........

How do you log in administrators account when the admin control panel requires user log in verification?

[unnamedghost]

Sorry for the bump but, question... If I want to restrict a certain user from being logged into, where abouts would I implement the required code?

[smirkley]

User or usergroup?

You would have to add an if/else statement in the template where the code adds the link I would think.

[pepin_bcn]

Installed and does not work with 4.2....:(

Please!! update for vb 4.2 Level 3

Thanks.

[smirkley]

I use on 4.2.pl3. It has worked fine in all v4 versions for me.

[Nelson58]

Works for me on V4.2 PL3 as well.

Great mod!!

Nelson

[Lightly_Toasted]

Working for me as well. 4.2 PL3

The problem is that the modification has a "max version" check which says it's only compatible up to 4.1.0 alpha 1 -- if you installed between 4.0.0 and 4.1.0 alpha 1 you can upgrade vBulletin and it still works fine, but a fresh install of the production a vBulletin > 4.1.0 alpha 1 you get a prompt saying it's not compatible with the version you're using.

Anyway around this?

[woodscooter]

Yes, you can get round it quite easily.

Download the mod, then open the .xml file in a text editor. Look for the Dependencies section, not far from the beginning
<dependencies>
<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0 alpha 1" maxversion="4.2.99" />
</dependencies>

Change the maxversion to 4.2.99, as I have done in the snippet above. Save the amended .xml file.

Now you can install the product in any vBulletin 4.2.x version

that should be added to the first post ;)

Thank you this fixed the problem of it not showing up in the user profile.. Why doesnt someone just update this mod so it works properly in the newest version. Would save a lot of unnecessary questions
