Admin Log In As User 1.2

About this hack:
This hack allows a SUPER ADMIN (settings in your config file) 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 NO options. Just install and it's ready to be used!

Enjoy!

It is possible to hide the "Log In As This User" in MEMBERINFO if I look my own profile?

No need for me to add more 'if' statments. Why do you need it hidden?

Thanks for this great mod however, when clicking on Log in as this user it logs me out on the next page. It SOMETIMES works however, but the farthest i've gotten was two or three pages away from clicking on the "Log In As This User" link before it logs me out.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi,

because it's not logically for me to "log in as this user" for myself.
Why should "log in as Stoebi" if i'm logged in as Stoebi?

Hope you understand my terrible english, sorry.

Regards, Stoebi

Hi Abe,

Everything is working perfect for me

The only thing that shows members is:

Display who has read a thread - Version 3

Is there anyway you could stop them appearing as if they have read a thread?

Thank you for any help

Very good port, well done

It stores in a cookie. Do you have cookies enabled?

I mean there is no reason for blocking it for security reasons. No-one else will see it.

I'm not going to look at that hack, but, right now, if you look at a thread, it will be marked read. I can't stop this from happening. If you have new posts by cookies, then the user will not realize because the last login time does not update.
