Upon editing postbit_legacy look for:

$template_hook[postbit_user_popup]

then after copy and paste the following:

	<if condition="is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, array( 6))">
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?do=cyb_loginasuser&u=$post[userid]">Log In As User</td></tr>
	</if>

The conditional checks to see if the user is in the admin group and thus only presents the option to admin users.

I've been using this for a little while and it works like a charm.

Hm, for some reason this doesn't seem to work at my board. Doesn't add anything to the pop up menu.

Still, thanks for sharing.

Try sticking "xxxxxxxxxxx" or something that will display inside the conditional to check that this portion of it is working, as it sounds as though the conditional check might not be working.

I'm using the Matahari style by sultan themes, and it does differ, in terms of where items are located, to the default style. For example, the navbar items are not in the same location as in Default Style. Therefore it is possible that putting the code in postbit_legacy might not be where it should go, but it would make sense that it is, regardless of style being used.

Ah, I found the problem. Postbit_legacy is used only for people who are using legacy mode. So, the code was alright, just had to put it in postbit instead of postbit_legacy. Thanks for the help!

doesn't seem to be working for 3.8.4 won't let you log in
to the users account do you have a fix?thanks

[RedFoxy]

Ok I found and fix the troubles about "Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules" and "Cyb - Login To User Account", to fix it you must edit "Cyb - Login To User Account - MI" and:

Find:

					$cyb_ltoua_link_mi = "<li class=\"thead\" style=\"float:$stylevar[right]\"><a href=\"member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=cyb_loginasuser&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]\">$vbphrase[cyb_ltua_title]</a></li>";

Replace With:

					$cyb_ltoua_link_mi = "<table cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"1\" border=\"0\"><tr valign=\"top\"><td class=\"thead\">$vbphrase[cybltua_hackname]</td></tr><tr valign=\"top\"><td class=\"vbmenu_option\"><a href=\"member.php?$session[sessionurl]do=cyb_loginasuser&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]\">$vbphrase[cyb_ltua_title]</a></td></tr></table>";

on my 3.8.4 boards to get it working again all i did was uninstalled it and re-instilled
it should work fine..

Worth noting is that another similar (but not as good) mod called Admin login as user also produces exactly the same error.

So I think this error must occur with any mod currently designed to log a mod/admin in as another user.

I hope you can find a fix for this. It doesn't stop either mod from working, just shows the error at the top of this search user mp page. So it can be lived with.

uninstall the version you have at present, and install this version here:
