I ask myself?!?!?!

Were you trying to log into another admin's account?

I have a quick question, if I wanted Login As User as a phrase, how would I add that?

I added login_as_user as a phrase in group 28 which is the cpuser group but it's not loading? The phrase thing still confuses me a bit

so umm if you log in as another user, im guessing if someone do a IP search of all the most recent IP# address this user already use to find out if this user have other account, im guesing the admin name will show up right?

Add a phrase in the group of "Control Panel User Management Phrases" and call it login_as_user. Then add the phrase you want it to have.

In the hack where you see:

			"user.php?$session[sessionurl]do=loginasuser&userid=$userid"
				=> "Login as User",

Replace with this:

			"user.php?$session[sessionurl]do=loginasuser&userid=$userid"
				=> $vbphrase['login_as_user'],

Hope This Helps.

[deathemperor]

does vb3 have this on default ? if yes then how can I do that ?

[blubber12]

In User control, choose the user you wish to log in as. On tht page there is a drop down at the top for various user controls...At the very bottom of that list is "log in as user" Click that and you will be logged in.

[deathemperor]

were you showing me how to login as user using this hack ? then you should re-read my post that I want to login as User by using vb3 default function yet only if it does have

[blubber12]

Sorry, no I was answering post #32...somehow at the time, that was the last post I saw.

And to answer your question, no..vb3 does not have this as default

I installed this carefully, but when I try to login as another user I just get logged in as myself. Then, when I leave that page, I get logged out. I replaced the original admincp/user.php file, then tried installing the hack again... same result. :ermm:

Installed and it works fine; it's just a little difficult to locate.

Maybe in future versions add it to the ACP > Users menu directly? Then when that option is clicked it displays a list of users (X# per page, perhaps sortable by usergroup) then allows you to select one?
