Admin Log In As User

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 have just installed this...had it in v3.8...and have found the problem why the link isn't showing up in v4.0.3's user profile page.

In the Plugin Manager edit the plugin "Admin log in as user" with the Hook Location of "member_complete" - in there change the last line from:

Code:

$template_hook['profile_right_first'] .= $tab_html;

to

Code:

$template_hook['profile_sidebar_first'] .= $tab_html;

Seems vb in what ever wisdom they choose changed the hook names in v4.0.3

IIRC, that fix was stated earlier in the thread, also.

not working onto the 4.0.4 build ... :S

Boofo · #**205** 06-20-2010, 10:29 AM

Sorry, but it does work in 4.0.4. Did you do the code replace from a few posts back?

you're right Bobby, but i prefer to use a plug-in without any edit (so now i use valter's hack that seems to be better) ...

Boofo · #**207** 06-20-2010, 10:51 AM

No, I meant the code edit for the plugin inside the product xml.

Wilfred1 · #**208** 06-20-2010, 09:59 PM

Just upgraded to 4.0.4 and all is working ok (Note the plugin edit)

What's the current status of this hack? Is the official download file on this up to date or are there required/recommended fixes included in this thread that have not been incorporated into the download?

And I believe there is a similar alternative hack that does about this same thing. Anybody have any comments about which one is preferred?

Thanks!

I was actually looking for a hack which allows me to switch user accounts easily (this isn't that easy; i was hoping for just a drop down box in the top right hand corner with my designated linked accounts), mind sharing the alternative hack location?
