Admin Log In As User

Admin Log In As User 1.2

About this hack:
This hack allows a SUPER ADMIN (settings in your config file) 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 NO options. Just install and it's ready to be used!

Enjoy!

I just downloaded the hack and installed it successfully on 3.5.4

I looged in as another "test" user from users's profile page, BUT its showing as online! I think it should not show as online as the latest version here said!

It only shows YOU that he is online.

2 things to prove to you -
1) If you go into his profile, it will say he is offline and that the last time he was online didn't change.
2) If you use another browser and logon to your forum, you will see that user is not logged in.

Abe1, after I installed AWS (Advanced Warning System), your hack didn't work! I can login to any other account with no problem, but I click any link, it send my out (as a guest)

I disabled (AWS) but still, same problem any idea?

Look in the plug-in. You have to replace the if superadmin with if user 1.

Hello, Abe1.

Thank you for this nice Hack, but i've a Problem.
If I'd like to add a user via ACP, on top of the page there is an error:

Warnung: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in \admincp\user.php(442) : eval()'d code (Zeile 9)

But i can even though add members

Thank you even though !!!
