Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Admin Log In As User

Admin Log In As User 3.10

About this hack:
This hack allows any admin that you set in admin permissions, to log in as any user. You have to go to the user's profile page and there will be a link to 'Log In As This User'. Also, there is a link the drop down menu in the ACP User Manager. If you are logged in as another user, you will get a message on top of the forum saying, 'You are currently logged in as another user. Click here to log back into your account.'

This hack is very easy to install. This hack has only the admin yes/no option. Just install and it's ready to be used!

Enjoy!

I installed on 3.8.0, and I'm getting the same error at the top of the AdminCP Add User page. I followed the recommendation of carmichael1973 to temporarily fix it.

An update for 3.8.x would be appreciated.

Set your config.php permissions first, then admincp/usergroup/Admin Permissions, uncheck Log in as user.

If ther is a possibility to do that ?

I notice the error reproduces itself in admincp as well as modcp.

I am using vB 3.8.2 and the 3.10 version of this modification.

Apparently, it is conflicting with another modification you have.

I am at wits end, and do not find any conflicts, etc.

Dont know what else to do.

I am running three forums with this hack (3.7.1 x1 and 3.8.
3 x2), I get the message on one of the 3.8.3 forums but not on the others. Same server too.

All hacked to death, but not with exactly the same mods.

Oh, I've thought of something.

One the two versions that don't give me the error I haven't reverted the templates - So it's only the full 3.8.3 templated version that's causing me the trouble.

Hi,

just installed and i've got the same problem in 3.8.2:

I found selection in the user page in the admin cp (and works fine) but I can't find the option to 'login as user' in the user's profile page on 3.8.2. Is it still there?

There is NO option to select anything in this add-on. All plugins are active and "member_complete" seems to work up to 3.7.x, but not in 3.8.x.

In ACP-Profile there is an "Login to User" profile, but not in any user-profile in forum (member.php).

I guess the reason is: There are many changes in user-profiles since 3.8.0 and "member_complete" has an option for vb36 and vb37, but not vb38.

I've tried to complete this, but got a parse_error:

PHP Code:

        eval
('$admin_log_in_as_user_link = "' . fetch_template('admin_log_in_as_user_member_info_link_vb38')] . '";');

    } 


Any idea how to solve it in 3.8.x ?
Sometimes it could be a little more comfortable to use it directly from profile.

Otherwise: Great job, thanks!

================================================== ==========

To get this to work in 3.8,

Admincp/Styles & Templates/Search in Templates

Search for MEMBERINFO

Find

					<if condition="can_moderate()">
						<li class="thead"><a href="moderator.php?$session[sessionurl]do=useroptions&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[edit_user_profile]</a></li>

Add after

<!-- Start Admin Log In As User -->
<if>$admin_log_in_as_user_link
<!-- End Admin Log In As User -->
