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!

I have tested it, and it does work!!!

Inside the admin_log_in_as_user_member_info_link_vb37 template.

Make sure you edit the array portion to reflect the actual user id's of the profiles you wish to exclude the link from.

This mod is great, I can't count how many times members ask... how do I insert video into my profile, or I can't gt a background images to show... now I can just click and do it for them instead of going to the admin panel.

Thank you, installed.

if ($admin_log_in_as_userinfo['admin_log_in_as_user'])
{
    $quicklinks = array_merge(
        $quicklinks,
        array(
            "../member.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=getinfo&u=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid'] . "&admin_log_in_as_user=" . $vbulletin->GPC['userid']
                => $vbphrase['log_in_as_user']
        )
    );
} 


I'll get into it tomorrow and see what the issue is!

But here is a work around for now... "This will only remove the ability to login as member from admincp"

Disable the plugin for the admincp link - (see attached image)

yep this worked - thanks

I have this mod installed and when I go to manually add a new user I have the following line at the top of the page:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/admincp/user.php(545) : eval()'d code on line 11

It doesn't stop me adding a new user and disabling the mod takes the message away, so it's really just a nuisance at the moment LOL...how can I have the mod enabled and get rid of the error message?

I am using vb 3.8.6 PL1

Works great with 3.8.5
