Add-On Releases - Cyb - Login To User Account

Info:
This will allow forum administrators to simply login to user accounts (to test forum functions, permissions etc...). SuperAdmin can choose admins who are able to use this function. SuperAdmin can set also who can login to other admin accounts. "Login As User" is shown in member profiles and Quick User Links (can be disabled). Option is automatically hidden in your own account and if target user is admin while you have no permissions to login to admin accounts.

This stopped working for me. The top banner is telling me I'm logged in as my own account, not as the user I attempted to login as. Are there any special global variables needed for vbadvanced CMPS 3.0 Gold?

Yes, my user id is in the allowed list, and I'm a SuperAdmin.

Edit: nevermind, I found the problem.

Will this mod be updated for 3.7?

[Mrdby]

any updates?

[tirol07]

updated for 3.7.X please.

[ssslippy]

3.7 is a beta and he isnt running 3.7 on his own board. He will update these mods to 3.7 when he upgrades his own. He has stated this before.

This mod works fine by the way in 3.7 just log in as the user from inside the admin cp.

[mariocaz]

Awesome mod, I installed it but I have a little problem in my 3.6.8. pl2

I don?t see the link of "Login as user" in the Quick User Links in the posts section, so I think I have to edit my postbit template, this part:

<!-- post $post[postid] popup menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none;">
	<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
	<tr>
		<td class="thead">$post[username]</td>
	</tr>
	<if condition="$show['profile']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[view_public_profile]</a></td></tr>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['emaillink']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_email_to_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['homepage']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="$post[homepage]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[visit_xs_homepage]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>
	<if condition="$show['search']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_all_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>
	<if condition="$post['userid'] AND $show['member']">
	<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="profile.php?$session[sessionurl]do=addlist&amp;userlist=buddy&amp;u=$post[userid]"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[add_x_to_buddy_list]</phrase></a></td></tr>
	</if>
	$template_hook[postbit_user_popup]
	</table>
</div>
<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

But I don?t know exactly what I have to add and exactly where?, because I put this "$cyb_ltoua_link_mi" in that part but is not showing the "Login as user" link.

Please help me !!

[DocViper]

Its works fein in acp.

[brfrankl]

Having a problem with this. Works great as a superadmin, but the rest of my admins get teh message that they are logged in as themselves instead of the person they are supposed to be logged in as.

I see someone else saw something similar to this so what was the problem, or anyone have any ideas?

[karlm]

does anyone know if this will be compatible with 3.7 (RC's or GOLD)?

Sorry, I see this question has been addressed already
Looking forward to the update

[Valter]

All of my hacks will be updated for 3,7 once it comes gold.

[oxblood12]

Looks like it is going gold next week. There will not be any changes that will affect your code.

working for 3.6.10?

[Dannyloski]

^ Yeah, works fine for vB 3.6.10 ... Only issue I had was that once I was logged into the User's Account, when I went ahead and hit the "Click here to go back to your Admin Account" Link I received an error that said something along the lines of "You do not have permission to access this page" and it sent me back to the the Forum Home Page logged in as the User that I had logged on as, rather than my Admin Account. At the same time, it removed the "*Admin_Username*, you are currently using *User_Username*'s account. Click here to go back to your Admin Account" Message from the top, so I had to manually Log Out as that user and Log back in into my Admin Account.
