Just what the doctor ordered. Great little hack, now I can spy comfortable on my members pm's but only in a respectable way!;)

Is there a way to have it say who you are logged in as at the top of the screen (in the header code)?

Why do you need it there? Just look on the right part of the nav bar. It says there who you are logged in as.

Ahh, yes, but you have to rememeber that I am old and my eyesight isn't what it used to be. ;)

I have a couple questions as Im really interested in this hack...

Stupid question number one.. I am the administrator of my site.. How do I become a Super admin?

Also if im logged in as another user will I show up as being logged in as that user to other members? Hate to be logged in as another user and getting PM'd by one of his buddies?

Do like I did, make a phantom account and use that one to log in a another user. Great for testing an no worries about PMs and such. ;)

1) You can become a super admin in the config.php file.

2) If you are logged in as another user, NO-ONE will see you online. You will see your self as the first name in the 'who is online' spot on your forum home but no-one else will see you there. Also, go to that users profile and you will see that they are off-line and that their last log-in was NOT when you used the account.

You're going to kill me for this, but I have to ask. Is there a way to have a setting for that so you can either show them as on-line like a regular user of off line? I use this for a phantom account I have for testing things with the board. It is the only time I ever use that account and it looks like that person never logs in at all. Does that make any sense? ;)

This is great I will try and install within the next few days...Before I install I need to know how or where in the config file can I make myself a superadmin and what rights difference is it between admin and super admin?

Look for this:

and add your userid in there. ;)

Maybe I'll add a set of options for this hack. I'll add this one to it.

Do I add my administrator id here
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '';

For example I still use my administrator ID so to become a super admin to I do this

$config['administrator']['superadministrators'] = '';

What rights do I gain except the ability to use this hack by making myself a Super Admin?

You will aslo be able to set what parts of the ACP your other admins can see.

If you are userid 1, you would make this:
$config['administrator']['superadministrators'] = '';
in to this:
$config['administrator']['superadministrators'] = '1';

Thank you, sir. I hate to have an account that I use all the time and yet it looks like they are never there. Excellent hack, I've been using it like crazy. :)

The question I asked about adding the name of the account to the top bar, can this be done with just the template edit or would it take more than that?

You can make the edit your self. Add: $bbuserinfo[username] where ever you want.

LOL I thought of that but didn't remember I would show up logged in as them. Your hack works too good. ;)

Umm... I just installed this and it emptied out the code from one of my other plug-ins.

What the hell? :ermm:

Can you please explain more?

/me installs

This mod is fanatastic!!!

Works with my vbseo too. Very, very nice. Thank you.

this is the funnest hack i've seen, and by far one of the most useful since usually to get into someones account i'd have to change their password now i don't have to, you rawk my friend!

*clicks install repeatably*

ive done all the edits, however in memberinfo i cannot get that link to show up next to "user options" any thoughts on why??? thanks...

Peace

Are your template cached with a hack or someting like that?

Do you have more then one style?

Works superbly even with Vb 3.6 beta 2

i used to have the template cache by trigunflame, but i have since removed it. Still not showing. I am using a custom style, however im 100% sure i have put the template edit within that style.....

Peace

How can I make this so that no one can't login as userid 1

With editing the plug-in, yes. But I can't find the places for you now.

Question 1: What will hepened if I want to logged in as user x and user x was already online?

Question 2: What will hepened if I was already logged in as user x and user x was trying to login?

Nothing. and Nothing.

This hack does not show your apperance or log that you were there.

anyway to make the user's you log out as stay online (stay in who's online)?

It doesn't ever show them online.

Thank you for this nice Hack :)

I just downloaded the hack and installed it successfully on 3.5.4

I looged in as another "test" user from users's profile page, BUT its showing as online! I think it should not show as online as the latest version here said!

It only shows YOU that he is online.

2 things to prove to you -
1) If you go into his profile, it will say he is offline and that the last time he was online didn't change.
2) If you use another browser and logon to your forum, you will see that user is not logged in.

Abe1, would be able to tell me how to make it so that no one can't login as userid 1 ?

Abe1, after I installed AWS (Advanced Warning System), your hack didn't work! I can login to any other account with no problem, but I click any link, it send my out (as a guest)

I disabled (AWS) but still, same problem :( any idea?

Look in the plug-in. You have to replace the if superadmin with if user 1.

Sorry, no ideas.

Finally got it to work, had to replace the php file for it to kick in.....thats been happening with a few hacks, where i would have to replace the php file for the hack to work....very wierd....

Peace
