no i know that, i went there Admincp --> Edit Usergroup --> Administrator Permissions and all it has is
Can Moderate All Forums (is Super Moderator)
Can Access Control Panel (is Administrator)
i have reinstalled it many times but it still doesnt show up... i have 3.6.7 and it used to work untill i updated it. :(

works great
thanks so much & sorry :)

Didn't you originally have this set so only the main admin could use it? That is what I need. Could you possibly attach that version for me?

Thanks in advance

After the last version upgrade, the option in memberinfo is missing, but the template insertion is still there. Is this a bug?

Same to me with 3.6.8 first. Take another look to the Instructions. ;)

The instructions won't help. Doing a hard refresh on your Admin Control Panel page may help, though.

I'm a super admin, yet for me it doesn't show up, while for the board's two admins it does (I'm actually a tech :-p) and that was even before one of them was made into a superadmin. So the question is - what is wrong with me then? Any ideas? As it would really help if I could log into random accounts to do testing and not having to create a separate account so then I could keep logging in an out...

Talk to your other admins. It sounds like they haven't given you permission to log in as another user, assuming you're using the latest version.

Great hack, will defo install at some stage!

Same here. Definitely a bug that does not work well with 3.6.8

That's not where you should set your administrator permissions from. You are doing it via the usergroup manager, but it should be done via administrator permissions (the last option from the "usersgroups" menu. You have to set it individually, for each admin:

When you log in as another user is there a way for them not to show online? I'm sorry if I missed this in the thread.

Installed very easily. Great mod, Thanks.

I cant find <!-- logo --> in the header
what i can do to install it ?

I found my answer.

i am confused i have installed it but what do i do next..i mean do i make another id and log in as user something like that please clarify

thankyou works great with 3.6.7


:)

MEMBERINFO:

find:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=report&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[give_infraction]</a></td>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

AFTER place this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- Start Admin Log In As User -->
</if>
<if condition="$show_admin_log_as_user_link">
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]&amp;admin_log_in_as_user=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[log_in_as_user]</a></td>
<!-- End Admin Log In As User -->

Work not

same with me dont work on vb3.6.8

ive added code but no link appears on memberinfo so ive disabled the hack till its sorted

Ditto doesn't work for me either :(

Go to your ACP->usergorups->adimistrator permissions-> your permissions and set your self to view them.

Hi there Abe1 .... this is one of my favourite MODs! My only suggestion is to include the above tip regarding changing permissions in your instructions and first post. That way, administrators won't need to trawl through all the posts to find out what to do when it doesn't work! Thanks again, twobob

thx ;)

yep works now but it never said in instructions to go there :)

Added to instructions.

Nice hack but I don't like to make template edits if not necessary.
There was once a hack, which allowed you to login as a user too, but only from within the ACP. It only placed a "login as user" piece under "users" in the ACP.
An admin could then fill in the username and click "go" or login or something like that.

I think this hack was maybe in a 2.x version I don't remember really.

Is your hack easy to adjust to only do this? And if yes, how is it done?

Version 2.4 not working for me, its installed correctly with template edits, but i can't see link on member profile or user edit page, i have uninstalled 2.4 and installed 2.1 it works correctly for me on 3.6.8 php5 mysql5.

Thanks.

Read the file where the new setting is located.

Installed, worked great. Thanks!

Two questions:

1 - When logged in as the user, can you read their PMs and post as them?
2 - Will this mess up the "view new posts" feature? Wont they notice someone has been in their account?

1 - Yes
2 - Depends on which view posts setting you have. If you use cookie based, then it wont mess up. If you use database, then any thread you go into will mess up.

Ok here is a question your read me file say this

2) Do the template edits

in header:

find:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- logo -->
--------------------------------------------------------------------

but what if you dont have that then where do you place the command?

Found the answer

ok instead of <!-logo-> if you dont have it use <!-Header-> and place the edit there. I checked it and it works fine.

Thanks for any assistance on this.

[high]* crimsy loves this mod!
[/high]

Thanks

~crimsy :)

I do not have <!-- logo --> in my header template, any other suggestions where it can go? and i dont have <!-Header-> like the person above mentioned.

the default is cookie based, correct?

I think so.

dear

sorry this mod don't work for me !!

How do I Edit Permissions ?

thanks

Work for 3.7 beta ??

Yes, it's working in 3.7.

I used it in my forum;)
