41 downloads and only 15 installs lol...

Cheers m8 will install this now :)

sweet!

Instead of new admin permissions, why not limit this to the super admin only?

Another suggestion is to include a link to the security patches download area. Not something jelsoft fully promotes, but it is there and might be handy ;) http://members.vbulletin.com/patches.php

I love these little snippets that make life easier. Thanks!

So let me get this straight, If i install this and someone manages to steal my password somehow or hacks the server that my site is on and changes my password then goes and logs into the admin section as me, Then they have free rain in the vbulletin members area to download anything on offer and bog off and pirate it to their hearts content :)

Hmm that's the way it reads to me, think i will give it a miss can't see why i would need to download from the vb members area from inside my board anyway.

But well done i presume some people will think this is a great addition.

No.

The only way anyone can get into the member's area is finding out your customer number and password. This modification never asks for such things, it just loads the member's area inside the admincp iframe.

It's no less secure then going directly to the member's area with your webbrowser.

Now you just said that it automaticly fills in the customer number and password, and then you said that they won't get access to the members area if they gain access to the adminCP.. did you not? Yes.

And if I'm the licence owner, and not userID #1 (as I presume you mean by that).. then what?

Listen to floris and make it a superadmin permission.

thanks

The permissions do nothing but hide the link. I rarely if ever log-in as super admin so this would be useless to me if I had done it that way. If you want it super admin only you'll have to do that part for yourself.

You seem confused here so allow me to explain;

All this does is link you to the member's area. This hack does not remember your username and password for the member's area, it does not automatically log you into the member's area, it does not allow anyone into the member's area that does not know your username and password for it.

In short it's just like typing in the address to the member's area in your web browser and visiting it that way. If you're smart and do not share your log-in details with anyone else you will be fine even if they know the link to the member's area.

Please, don't spread FUD in this thread. I know people may be iffy about linking such a thing from the admin cp and will probably have questions/concerns about it (which I am happy to answer and address).

Thanks!
