Add-On Releases - Duckways: Admin - Log in as

Admin - Log in as



What is this mod all about?

Sometimes it comes in handy to access the account of one of your users. To fix issues, to debug or whatever. This plugin shows an "Log in as" button on the profile page for admins and super moderators. When clicked your session will be set to log in as the other user without filling in a password.


Button on profile page (only visible for admin and super moderator):





About Duckways

We're a company with a team of developers who have been working a lot on a vBulletin 4 system for two of our customers. The largest one with over 200,000 users and 4 million posts.
This one migrated to vBulletin 5 recently and we've faced quite some issues in vBulletin 5 which we'll fix by writing custom modifications. Some of those, which are worth sharing, will be added here on vBulletin.org. If you're missing a feature or add-on, please feel free to contact us.


How to install:

- Download the zip file below

- Upload the content of the upload folder to your vBulletin root.

- Install the XML by importing it as a new product.

Hi

Installed on vB5.5.4 and the hook was showing on all user groups. How can I fix this?

Thanks

I have sent a PM to the dev who made this. Hopefully we see a response.

I love this MOD but I think it doesn't work in vB5.5.5

I hope they make it compatible with vb 5.5.5

Thanks!

Just too sad vBulletin makes it next to impossible to create useful tools and hooks.
I regret I was stupid enough to "upgrade" from vB3 and buy a vB5 license.

Lesson learnt and never ever again I will waste my money for another "great" upgrade.

It is obvious the coding has been set to prevent any third party to be applied as it used to when hardly any hooks works anymore yet new to come.

Thank you to all of you guys who have brought us all the fun over the years.

And to the vBulletin - You really suck in caring for your customers. Not even a default chatbox
available. :down:

I totally agree.
Since 8 years (I guess VB5 was released in 2012) VB5 is still an incomplete software.
No major improvements, not even 10% of VB4 options are available for VB5.
After 8 years!

It will work if you do this in vB5.6.x

File to be edited reauth.php
file path
core/packages/duckwaysloginas/admin/reauth.php

Find

vB5_Auth::doLoginRedirect();

Replace it with

$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
header('Location: '.$referrer.'');

done

Hello,

It works fine on VB Version 5.6.3 after doing the edit mentioned above on the reauth.php file.

Have a Nice Day!

Much obliged yilmaz

I will make another attempt and use the fix you have provided. However my over all impression of vB5 is I have been sold the "cat in the bag"

This is more practical

PHP Code:

<?php

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);

$currentSession = vB_Api::instance('user')->fetchUserinfo();

// Let's log off and log in to a new account
if ( isset ( $_GET['userid'] )
    && can_administer()
    && is_member_of($currentSession, [ 6 ] ) )
{
    $user = (object)vB_Api::instance('user')->fetchUserinfo( $_GET['userid'] );

    vB::getDbAssertor()->delete('session', array('sessionhash' => vB::getCurrentSession()->get('dbsessionhash')));
    $username = vB_String::htmlSpecialCharsUni( $user->username );
    $userinfo = vB::getDbAssertor()->getRow('user', array('userid' => $user->userid));
    $auth = array_intersect_key($userinfo, array_flip(['userid', 'lastvisit', 'lastactivity']));
    $loginInfo = vB_User::processNewLogin($auth, '');
    vB5_Auth::setLoginCookies($loginInfo, '', false);
    $url = unhtmlspecialchars($vbulletin->url);
            print_cp_redirect_old($url);

    die();
}
