Login as User

what it does:
this hack allows you to login as any user from the admincp.

files to edit:
1 (admincp/user.php)

installation time:
< 5 minutes

Edit: added an option to restrict this hack to certain userids

Hmm, it'd be even better if you could specify which userids could use this (ie, only head admin). The vB2 version has that feature.

Doesn?t make much sense, since all admins can edit the phpinclude-template (as stated by xenon).
but if you want something like that simply do the following modification to the hack (not tested):

After this:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do']    == 'loginasuser')
{ 


add this:

PHP Code:

$_hack_canlogin = "1,2,3" // comma separated list of allowed userids. leave blank for all admins
$_hack_canlogin = explode(",",$_hack_canlogin);
if(is_array($_hack_canlogin) and !in_array($bbuserinfo[userid],$_hack_canlogin)){
    print_no_permission();
}

Nice Job, this is good for testing forum permissions like said before ^_^ *installs*

This would be a good hack... if it worked.

When you try to login as a user, it just takes you to forumhome logged out.

I found the problem.

You left your own license number in the code and didn't take it out and replace with with something like [licensenumber] and didn't say in the instructions to change it to the license number of the board that is using it.

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. The thing is on vB2 the userid permissions were all hardcoded and I don't think the concept of using phpinclude was thought of.

What about the issue of an administrator being able to login as a super administrator?

Where did you find that at? I'm having problems as well as it just takes me to the log in page. What did you have to do?

the instructions are now updated

It doesn't make sense.
