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!

Then you missed something somewhere because that is the code I am using and the link shows up fine next the the edit user link. Remember, it won't show up in your own profile.

Make sure you set the administrator permissions.

Admin permissions are set. I unset it and reset it just in case it was broken. I still can't see the link. The hack works though because from the admincp's user settings i can log in as user from the drop down.

I have two problems with this

the first is:
when I brows some pages on -2 or 3 as a maximum- the forum after I login as a suer, it turned back itself to my account..

the second is:
if I want to post a reply or quote it gives me this error:
Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

any idea how to fix this please?

Strang problem happened only today and all I changed was revert the footer (3.7). I try logging in as user from my AdminCP and I can see this message at the top:

You are currently logged in as another user. Click here to log back into your account.
and if I do click it I get back to my account but the problem is that I don't get logged into the user I tried to log into. I get this message instead:

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This

could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit

someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged

system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it

may be awaiting activation.

So any ideas what is causing this?

[baghdad4ever]

after install it

there is no option in administrator permissions of my forum related to this hack

can someone help?

[Sadie Frost]

I'm only suggesting this because I did it at first: are you looking in the administrator usergroup permissions or the administrator permissions for yourself? Because it's located in the permissions for you yourself.
