What Does This Hack Do?

A very simple hack to add a quick email address checker to the Admin Control Panel Home page, it will find members via their email address rather than their username. This will only be displayed to Administrators with Can Administer Users permissions.

This idea of this hack came from Keyser S?ze's v3.5.x hack (see here, and it being Re-useable Code enables me to release this hack), that involves a file edit to a core vbulletin file (which would obviously have to be re-applied every time there is update to vBulletin).

The differences between my hack and Keyser S?ze's are that there are no file edits, it is controlled by Admin permissions and it is located in a slightly different location (as putting it in the same location as Keyser S?ze's would require file edits, there are no hooks in that location).


Installation Instructions

1. Import ms_quick_email_finder.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.
2. That is it, nothing else to do, it will work from now on.

Uninstall Instructions

1. Uninstall the product in vB using the AdminCP Product Manager.

Version History

Thanks go out to Keyser S?ze for making his file edits Re-useable Code for the existence of this small hack.
