Psionic: You beat me to the release, I would have released my version if it wasn't for the last file didn't give me so much problems. it wasn't linking accounts so I asked Ianomad for assistance which I was waiting on him but since you got it, great. Glad to see it made it to 3.5.x

Absolutely awesome hack and one that is extremely useful. **clicks install **

Unfortunately I have had to disable the plugin until I figure out how I can restrict this to specific user ids. I have both administrator and moderator groups setup. The admins do need access to edit member accounts in order to perform their admin role. There is no way however that I can have administrators being able to "setup" links to access other admin accounts, including my own, as well as any member on the site.

I really want to use this hack! Is there any way to restrict this feature to specific user Ids only?

[akanevsky]

Yes.
Replace:

PHP Code:

if (!can_administer('canadminusers'))
{
    print_cp_no_permission();
} 


With

PHP Code:

if (!can_administer('canadminusers') OR !in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], array(ALLOWEDID#1, ALLOWEDID#2)))
{
    print_cp_no_permission();
}

Thank you very much. I made the change as you provided and it works perfectly. Happy to say I now have your quick account switch plugin reenabled.

Thank you again!

Excellent hack. This is just what I needed for my RPG where some members play with multiple accounts.

Thanks a lot!

whoa!! that was a serious unnerving feeling... to be in someone else's profile.. i tested this on an inactive user's profile.
as administrator.... can i just teleport into anyone's space like that????

what about my members, can they teleport into my space or each other's space as easily as i did the inactive member's space....???

if this question was already asked... my apologies.....

THIS HACK WORKS PERFECTLY... NOW I KNOW WHAT "BEAM ME UP SCOTTY" FEELS LIKE....

hahhah ***maniacal laughter!!!
