Login as User

what it does:
this hack allows you to login as any user from the admincp.

files to edit:
1 (admincp/user.php)

installation time:
< 5 minutes

Edit: added an option to restrict this hack to certain userids

besides that it's great.

As far as i can see, anyone in the admin group even if they are not in the config.php file as superadmin, you can not login as them.


about #2, that would be a nice feature.

DO NOT begin with a #

it should be

vbsetcookie('password', md5($user['password'] . '12345678'));


where 12345678 is your licence number (8 letters)

then you click to a user to "edit" this user, then you click on the quick link on top, there's something called "login as user"

1. i'm the forums owner and therefor superadmin, how do i log into other admins?

It doesnt matter if you are superadmin or not, as long as you can access to the member list in ACP

$_hack_canlogin = ""; // comma separated list of allowed userids. leave blank for all admins

If you have this field filled, you have to be "that person" indicated here, in order to use the function.

If you leave blank, all admins (usergroup=6) can use the function, and he can login as anyone else, except other admin.

If you want to login to other admins, you have to change this lines:

if($user['usergroupid']==6)
{
print_cp_no_permission();
}

maybe just remove it.

Or maybe use the userid instead of the usergroupid??

Okay.. perhaps I'm blind... I've installed but I see no option anywhere to log in as a user. Where's it at?

Edit Found it. But it would be nice if the log in opened without the admin frameset or in a new window. I can adjust that here. But it might be somethign to include in the hack.

/me clicks install

VERY nice hack. Thanks!

Okay, I had this before and when I downgraded then reupgraded I got rid of it. Now when I try to log in as a user it takes me to my account. How do I fix this?

edit: *kicks cookies* I cleared my cookies and temp files and it's working. le sigh

[blubber12]

I'm having similar problems. I did a clean install of 303 and recoded the user files, and still I get logged in under my account. I cleaned all cookies and files as well..and I know I have the proper license number included. any clues?
