What Does This Hack Do?[hr]hr[/hr]
This is an update to my 3.7.x version of this hack.

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).


vBulletin Version Compatibility[hr]hr[/hr]
This hack can be used with vBulletin versions 3.6.0 - 3.8.7.

Great thanks!

I guess this can't be put under the username search without some manual edits?

Hi Mosh,

You have no intentions of doing a version of this mod that would put the quick email finder box in a Global Moderator's ModCP?

Thanks for all your useful mods,

Any way to get this to work for all members? Like someone joins our site, can check to see if any of their friends are members by searching via email. If not found, it says not found, if found, it shows the profile of the user with that email so you can add them as a friend. (like facebook)

That would be a completely different hack ..... may look into it. No promises, and no ETA though.
