How can we change color of header in admin_log_in_as_user_header ??

is the only place where we can change them?

Thanks.

Two suggestions for updates:

1. On my board I gave access to a select few Moderators to use this function. However I would like to prevent them from acting as an admin or super moderator.

2. I'd like to see a log of some kind that lets me know who accessed the feature and who they logged in as.

the problem with giving people this ability, is you need to be careful because they may cause a problem with "defamation of character". but hey its up to you who you give this power.

After installed this mod, i have now a new thing that says "Last Activity: Today 04:53 AM" for every user, no matter if it's logged or not.. How can i remove that ? Or at least leave it only for Administrators ?

Brilliant hack! Well done

Very cool hack..

wrong thread, sorry.

thanks

Thanks !

Interesting addon and just for my comprehension: What exactly does this addon do?

Are you able to use any account you wanna log in to 100% as it is, for example if you wanna check a moderator's account you can use his mod rights (it happens that some mods have more rights regarding the forum hence the name administrator ;) ), and can you also read the user's PMs?

I am used to phpbb 3 and there seems to be a similar feature thought it only transfers user's rights so that you cannot corrupt the user's privacy.

Thank you in advance! :)

thanks

Is this only for Super Admin?

i installed it but nothing happened

yes the admin would be able to read their PMs and such. this is why you should only assign this to people that you trust



you can choose which admin will be able access this mod.

ACP>Usergroups>Admin Permissions>Edit Permissions

installed and uninstalled 3 times..
for whatever reason.. it won't show in either the ACP nor the user profile.

Uninstalling until later.

It's not going to show in the ACP if you don't have the permissions to operate it, and on default you're not allowed to use it. You need to go into Administrator Permissions and change this.

Also, it's not going to show in your user profile, no matter what, unless you add the optional template code which is supplied in the downloaded file.

I activated it in admin permissions to be usable.
I still did not see it in "users "
Nor did I see it in the user profiles. I'll re-check and try it later today. Perhaps I missed a step.

In the ACP you need to search for the user that you want to login as and then in the "Quick User Links" is where the mod is. see attached screenshot

Not that it's usually necessary, but when I login to a persons account , I'm kicked out after about 5 minutes. How would one make the login time longer?

I see in the code that there is a would this be change the 5 to another number in all instances where this is coded?

Thanks for your help.

if you log in as a user, does it show them in whos online? or does it act as if they're not on at the time you were logged in as them

Hey,
there is a way to make spesific users protected?

For some reason it keeps giving me this message:

You are currently logged in as another user. Click here to log back into your account.

and I can't log in to any member's account.

Was doing that to me as well, I uninstalled this version & reinstalled the old one, it works great with 3.7.2.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

...The older version can't be found. It refers back to here. Now I have to go dig it up from my older CDs.

Uninstalled, doesnt' work in vBulletin 3.7.2 :(

are u sure u installed it right? it works for me on 3.7.3 so it should work on 3.7.2. perhaps its conflicting with another mod?

Abe,
This mod seems to be working perfectly on my site. Our intent in installing it is purely to be able to deal with individual functionality issues more easily.

Is there any way to make the 'Private Messages' area off-limits with this mod?

If there were, I think that would largely resolve whatever issues folks might have with the potential to violate privacy with this hack. As it stands, even fellow administrators could conceivably log-in to one anothers accounts and read PMs.

Just wondering if the coding could be 'tweaked' to keep the PM area private.

Thanks in advance, and props on a great hack.

+1 Why i have not installed this. I too want to keep pm's private.

Remember to turn the add-on on via admincp/usergroups/admin rights! Default is "no"! :)

Help! I can't even find this code in the member info. I'd love to have the link on the users info.

<if condition="$show['giveinfraction']">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[give_infraction]</a></td>
</if>

I'm in the MEMBER INFO template, and there is nothing like that there. :confused:

installed works great :up:

In MEMBERINFO

FIND:
AFTER ADD:
;)

I'm also having the problem where when I login as a different user, I click the link to log out of that user, but the bar still shows me as logged in as that user. The only way I could disable it was to turn it off in admincp. BTw, I'm running vb 3.7.3.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Crap, from a different computer it works fine. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks!

OK, on my Vista laptop, it works perfect with IE7. On one of my XP desktops with IE7, it won't allow the logout. On another XP desktop with IE7, it works fine. Any ideas on why on one XP machine it's fine and another it isn't?

Thanks!

tnx, installed :)

Thanks Abe, installed!

Always loved this. Awesome.

Where is the link to login if you're using 3.7.x?

On the profile page of the user you want to login as.
