AdminCP Access
 

A friend of mine requested this so I made it. By default the plugin is disabled, otherwise you would not be able to access the AdminCP. :cool:

If someone tries to access your AdminCP and they are not the IP, User Group, or User ID that you defined, they will automatically be forwarded to the forum home. If you wanted to you could enable the IP, User Group, and User ID at once. Enable as many of the features as you feel a need for.


Features:

• Enable and Disable hack (Disabled by default)
• Define MULTIPLE IPs that are allowed to access the AdminCP
• Able to separate multiple IPs by | (No spaces between the IPs and |)
• Define MULTIPLE User Groups that are allowed to access the AdminCP
• Able to separate multiple User Groups by | (No spaces between the User Groups and |)
• Define MULTIPLE User IDs that are allowed to access the AdminCP
• Able to separate multiple User IDs by | (No spaces between the User IDs and |)

Upgrade:
You MUST uninstall the old product after that just follow the directions of the New Installation.

File Edits:
In admincp/index.php find:

Add after:

New Installation:
1.) Perform the file edits

2.) Go to AdminCP-> Plugins & Products-> Manage Products-> Import the product-admincpaccess.

3.) Go to AdminCP-> VBulletin Options-> VBulletin Options-> AdminCP Access.

4.) Under AdminCP Allowed IPs put your IP and then enable the hack and save. For multiple IPs just follow this example:
1.1.1.1|2.2.2.2|3.3.3.3|

Optional:
1.) Under AdminCP Allowed User Groups put the User Groups you wish to allow access and then enable the hack and save. For multiple User Groups just follow this example:
6|7

2.) Under AdminCP Allowed User IDs put the User IDs you wish to allow access and then enable the hack and save. For multiple User IDs just follow this example:
1|2|3

Screenshots:
Of what? If you are not the defined IP, User Group, or User ID you will be redirected to the forum home.

*If you locked yourself out just reupload your original admincp/index.php file to you admincp root. Go into your AdminCP-> VBulletin Options-> VBulletin Options-> AdminCP Access and fix what ever caused you to get locked out. Once you fix it just reupload the edited admincp/index.php file.

Changelog:
1.0 - Initial release with just IP Access
2.0 - Now you can allow access to the Admin CP by IP Addresses, User Groups, and User IDs.
2.1 - Added instructions to edit the file as VBulletin Staff don't like for VBulletin files to be edited for you. :( Other than that nothing has changed, so if you have version 2.0 there's no need to update. :D
3.0 - Made some minor changes to code.
4.0 - Now supports 3.8.x.
4.1 - Fixed a small coding issue.

Hope you enjoy it. I would have had this out sooner, but I forgot I never fixed it for 3.7. Finally had time to and figured I'd make it work on 3.8 too.

Very nice :) thanks

Your welcome. Let me know if any issues come up.

Very interesting. Tagged for future use. :)

How safe is this to use.

In fact i suggest to NOT USE it.

.htaccess is more and enough secure and i do not see any Reason for a Solution like this.

hello, this is a great mod and should be part of the core product IMO. i really want to use this but i just tried installing this and i get this error

XML Error: > required at Line 33

i'd mark it "installed" but its technically not installed yet

I have fixed this issue, please download the new version.


I will take this into consideration for future updates, I believe I used this at one point, but php had issues writing the data to the file. This is good for those who don't fully understand how a .htaccess works, plus I hate accessing FTP just to change an IP that is allowed.


It's safe. I use it on my forums.
