Wow thanks.

Hey, very cool add-on! Thank you abe1 :)

This is not working for me on v3.6.3. When I click the option "Log in as this user" on the user management page, in my admin cp, I just get a login window to my forum. I enter my login info, but it doesn't take it. :( I would really appreciate how to fix this, since I'm having some issues with a mod that I need to correct.

I would have to check on your forum. I dont know why. It should work. Are you using a diff url then you have set in you acp?

I have this problem .. What can I do ?

Problem with PHP5. I have to come up with a new version to fix it.

Great hack, I can see this coming in useful if a member reports something wrong we can check if it's there user account. Of course we'd never dream of using this to play nasty jokes. =D

One issue though if I login as Member A and then click on my Admin username it takes me to Member A's profile. Probably won't cause a problem, just thought I'd let you know.

Looking good, an extremely similar version of Cyb's login as user then right? :)

I know about that. Didn't think it was worth trying to fix.

I think I released this first. Also, I think there is a little more security here.

Thank you for the 3.6x update Abe :)

Install

So, is it possible that the actual user will notice that someone else logged into their account?

No.

clicked install bro....great hack... thanks for this... ;)

For some reason this mod doesn't work for me. I've added the template modifications, and I've installed the product, with overwrite on. The option to login as a user is just not there. :(

I'm getting the same thing, I think it's since the upgrade to the latest version of VB

You have to make sure you are a super admin. Check your config file.

oops

Anyone else get this after installing hack and going to add new user?

Because it appears to be this mod which is causing this for me.

This is because you have PHP5. I keep forgetting to release an update. I'll try ASAP.

:eek: how did you know I had php 5.2.0?

Your not the first with this problem.

i found this one bug by accident, but if i log in as a user and then delete them from the admin cp, if i go back to the forum without logging out everything is backwards (right to left reading) and lots of things don't show up. no big deal but just thought id post it. not sure if this was mentioned earlier, if so sorry, i just read the last few pages.

Is it really worth trying to fix??

Does it effect anything really in the long run?

You remembered yet :D?

I had to recently downgrade my php back to 4.4.4

causing lots of problems.

Is this usual behaviour.. I am logged in as another user, i browse to a page but when i click log back in as admin it taks me back to index.php with

index.php?[sessionurl]&log_out_admin_log_in_as_user=true at the end of my domain in the URL bar.

Josh

wont effect anything.

Ah nice, I had used such hack in 3.0.x and I'm glad you made it for 3.6.x too, thanks!

Hello Abe1,
i've got a question to your great mod.
Well, I want to use this hack for support issues like 'i cant change my signature" or "there is no link, really". I thought it would be great if I or a other admin could see what the user see.
So I made some changes in the php-code (i hope it's okay?) to allow the user group "admins" to use the mod.

Now I've got a question. In Germany their are so many laws... their forbid a lot of things like to dirsturb the privacy of other poeple.. When i want to use the Hack as a support-feature i need something like agreement with the user that allows a admin to use the mod.

So my idea was to change the link in the memberinfo and in the ACP user profile to "Get Authorization".. When the admin uses this link the user will get a question at the top of the forum where he allows the admin to use the hack. After the user give his agreement in the ACP the link will change from "Get Authorization" to "log in as user".. maybe their could else be a little info at the ACP start-page.

I know their are a few changes needed to realize it, but would it be possible to realize it with your hack?

groeken

I'll think about it.

Why do it by so a hard way?
Ask the User for his password -> log in with the correct password -> and if evrything is done ... send a pn to the user to change his password.


another question to this "law-problem"
What's about an option, wich will send a PN to the user, that an admin has logged into his account?
for example (A -> Admin / U -> User)
A loge into the account of U =>
nothing will happen =>
A log out -> send a PN to U ==> A has logged into your account
Can this be realized? Maybe with an option to set this option ON or OFF?

What a great mod, works perfectly.

Any Fix yet for PHP5?? Those arrays keep coming up when trying to add new users.

Thanks for the update. :)

Nice update :)

Maybe a suggestion for a future release: don't show the login link in your own profile.

What was the problem, could you explain lil' bit more?

Some error users were getting when creating a new user.

Does it really make a diff?

Awesome! THanks for the PHP5 fix! Works perfect now!:)
