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 get this error code when I try to switch over to another user:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/***/public_html/***/vbulletin/includes/class_core.php

Any ideas as to the cause and fix?

Nope. I would need to to check your acp.

Look for something similar.

[Hitterman]

When we login in as any user, why does the last online data not updated? Can you fix this?

use this:
Find in MEMBERINFO:

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

and replace with this:

<if condition="$show['edit_profile']">
							<li class="thead"><a href="moderator.php?$session[sessionurl]do=useroptions&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]">$vbphrase[edit_user_profile]</a></li>
						</if>
<!-- Start Admin Log In As User -->
$admin_log_in_as_user_link
<!-- End Admin Log In As User -->
					</ul>
				</if>

2 things,

Needs to be made so it can bypass the password expiry message on other peoples accounts, and on the same screen (your password has expired....) the logout link is missing.

                                                                                     </ul>

I am using vB 3.7.4 with USFTech Style. Mod install worked well and I can login as a user, but I don't see the link ob top of the forum "You are currently logged in as another user...."

I seems to be an issue with the style I use, any idea how to fix this?

Thx in advance!

OK I am blind ...and stupid. There is a link, but it is white on white background... I need to figure out how to change colour?
