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.

i am not exactly sure how he done that then, i looked through the code and there was no particular special function other than that one, which i added in.

[StarBuG]

It does not work for me.

I click on Log In As User but nothing happens.
There is no alert message, I still see the staff zone, the user does not show up in the member list -> I am not logged in as this member.

Even via the ACP, if I try to login as a user I only get to his profile but nothing else happens.

The link that is called is /member.php?do=cyb_loginasuser&u=12345

HMMM

Just making sure:

- Have you set yourself as SuperAdmin in /includes/config.php? (if you do not have userID 1)
- Have you added the template changes?
- Is Administrator (usergroupID 6) your primary usergroup?

And what do you mean by: Nothing happens? Everything's just as usual, with your own username in the welcome message?

[StarBuG]

I am a superadmin
I don't have added the template changes because I see the link
and yes, 6 is my admin group

With nothing happens I mean nothing happens, the site reloads and thats it.
no Username change in welcome, no user showing up in who's online except me, nothing

I have no clue why not

[tank14]

I need to get some help changeing go back to admin, U have vBadvanced and it goes to the index, not index2

[wjkids]

Great Mod!
Clicked installed and have one question..
I was testing it out on a couple of users that are on my board and now in the members list even though I switched back logged off they still show up in the members list as online. I tried clearing cookies that didn't seem to do anything either. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

[tank14]

That is blocked in abes script, but abes doesnt work for me...=(

[AWJunkies]

I have the same:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.3:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT userid, username, password, salt, styleid

Error!

I have tried on IE and FF and both do it and have cookies enabled and everything checks out. Cookie user id is not getting set for some reason. I give up and will deactivate the nav box info. If anyone figures this problem out let me know it is pain in the a s s.

[jgommel]

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now (off and on), but can't figure out why my login name/ID does not display before the message:

, You are currently using Tesuser's account. Click here to go back to your admin account.

<phrase name="cyb_ltoua_goback"><![CDATA[{1}, You are currently using {2}'s account. Click <a href="{3}">here</a> to go back to your admin account.]]></phrase>

See the attached screenshot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Download latest XML and import it.

Be sure hack's templates are not customized.

Be sure you have enabled cookies in your browser.

Nice plugin, but I wouldn't use it. I feel that it is an invasion of users' privacy.

Okay, I just downloaded and imported the latest XML, checked my cookie settings etc..., and I still have the same problem: See my prior post: #69

I even went as far as checking multiple browsers...

Only if you use it for that reason. It's an excellent way to solve problems with a user's account without having to get their password from them and all that. Just make sure they know what you're up to, and don't do things like read their PMs while you're there.

Be responsible with it, and no one gets hurts.

Can you make it so that moderators can't see that the user has the same IP adress for postings as the admin. in other words: when an admin login as the user, it keeps the IP from the user, not the one from the admin. Hopefully you understand this

[dutchbb]

This is one of the best hacks ever
