At the moment, I am trying to do that, but so far the only way seems to be by editing an IPB file. I might discover a better way soon, but if you want to enable privacy now:

That will make any logins using the hook anonymous

ecellent... Just excellent...

Thank you

At the moment, I am trying to do that, but so far the only way seems to be by editing an IPB file. I might discover a better way soon, but if you want to enable privacy now:

In /admin/sources/handlers/han_login.php

Go to line 253

Change:

$privacy	= 0;

to:

$privacy	= 1;

That will make any logins using the hook anonymous

this affects only your mod RIGHT?????
I do not want to do anything weird.... :)

Thats right. It should not affect any normal logins, only the mod

Very similar to one I used to use called members snoop which I used for unsubscribing members to watched topics albums etc when their email address died. Thanks this will be very useful.

I don't quite understand why you made this... Is there any specific benefit?

People do have rights, this may be crossing a few boundaries...

Sometimes it helpful. Just a little example:

As everyone knows their are cheat/haxes in online multilayer games. Most of the good servers run anti cheat tools to keep cheaters away. But once your community gets bigger those little hackers target your forums and PM people to "sell" their cheats. I wouldn't like personally that my forum is getting used as a medium to sell their cheats.

Now during this situations mod's like this, PM reading, etc. comes handy so you can check what user is doing.

Every community has its own needs. ;)

i have installed the hook and when i press the button it takes me to the login page and it isnt log me in as the member i selected? ><

This is happening on my board too... but not to all members.

I had this mod running great for some time and suddenly now I'm getting this problem too

This would be a handy tool if I could get it working.

It seems to clash with the PIN Awards application. When I turn this Log in as member application I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method pinAwardsProProfileSkinOverload::logInAsMember() in /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/hooks/LogInAsMemberTemp_f9755ed1b7628a1f211883bf36e0f0f3.php on line 45

If I disable the (PIN) Awards Pro - Profile Modern Skin Overloader Hook I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined method skin_profile_11::logInAsMember() in /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/hooks/LogInAsMemberTemp_f9755ed1b7628a1f211883bf36e0f0f3.php on line 45

Would you have a fix for this please.

Thanks.

I am not able to bring out a fix, because I simply cannot reproduce it in any way. I have installed Awards Management System, and it still works for me.
If you have trouble with it, try removing it, recaching everything, make sure hook file is deleted, then reimport.

If you are still having problems, can you PM me with a list of the apps and hooks you have installed and which skin you are using, to work out what is causing it on some boards

Thank you

Thanks very much for the advice.

Looking back on my post I omitted to say that the errors ocurred when I clicked on a members profile in 'Members'.

Anyway, I did as you advised, un-installed, re-cashed everything and then re-installed. Works a treat.

Thanks very much for a great mod.

Glad I helped!
Sorry for the support delays. Was busy with exams

FWIW, I installed this and it's working like a champ. Ideally I wouldn't have to log out before trying to spoof another person, but a small quibble. I like that the person I'm spoofing doesn't show up as logged in, which was a failing of previous products for v2 of the boards.

And no, we don't use this casually, but when there is some serious mis-behavior it's a relief to be able to confirm/deny an allegation by checking someone's PM box.

works with 3.1?

Thanks, I installed this, and have a feature suggestion.


There is a similar mod for Vbulletin, and what's handy is that when you are logged in as a different user, there is a status at the time that lets you know you're logged in as someone else. When you're done, you can click "logout", and it takes you back to your previously used account.

I cannot get this to work. I installed, edited the settings and I dont see a button to login as member anywhere. Any help would be great. Oh I also uninstalled the hook, re cached and reinstalled. Still nothin... Any help would be great!

secondary groups are not taken care for permissions :huh:

Thanks for the mod.

I'm using it to import blogs from my previous Wordpress blog.

As Admin I cannot create blogs for members - the member has do create it whilst logged in - so I am unable to import the blog entries for selected members of the site.

With this mod, however, I can now login as member "x" - create the blog - import the RSS/XML data - then logout - job done :)

Cheers,
Shaun :D

Does this work w/3.1.4? I get this error

Argument 1 passed to han_login::__construct() must be an instance of ipsRegistry, null given, called in /home/domain/public_html/hooks/LogInAsMemberSource_hash.php on line 22 and defined in /home/domain/public_html/admin/sources/handlers/han_login.php on line 99

Very nice

I did a test install on a 3.1.4 board and it seemed to work fine. Try re-caching all under "Cache Management" and recaching your skins

the hook is OK and it is good piece of work

may I suggest adding to the stting new features to protect the privacy of the logged in member ie when I as a moderator login the user say xyz I should not be able to alter the password or see the contents of his private messages and also I should not be able to add posts carrying his name.

I actually installed the hook but for the sake of protecting the members privacy I uninstalled the hook waiting for you to amend this hook as I stated in my prev post.
