Admin choice: View Forum as Usergroup X

[StarBuG]

Hi

I think it is a pain in the ass if you are setting forum permissions or make changes to the forum layout for certain usergroups to always logout then login as a testuser in that group to view your changes. then you need to login to the acp again to correct something and the game starts over again.

It would be so cool to have a drop down for admins where you can select the usergroup in which permissions you could view the forum so no need for logout anymore.

Is anyone up for this??

This is a great idea. Specially if you have a bajillion forums like me and a couple dozen secondary usergroups hehe.

I can?t be the only one who needs this ;)

I would love this hack!

Hmmm...

Maybe the usergroup permission parser could be changed so it accepted fields like:

(if usergroup OR bbuserinfo[admin'test as' field] = 1)

Yeah, so making an admin only profile field and having all permissions tests to check that would be what do do I think.

Hmm ... you could just use another browser for the testaccount :)

Though, I've attached smth. for you.
Please use it with care!

If it turns out to do what it should do, I'll consider to put it as a normal release.
