RObiN-HoOD Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thank God. I just found that, and I thought something was wrong with my installation since upgrading to 3.4.x. Unfortunately I think the author have said some time ago that sincve IPB support buildin Loginas he's not interested in upgrading the app. Let's hope he'll change his mind.

broni Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 sincve IPB support buildin Loginas Interesting...any more info about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RObiN-HoOD Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If you go to a member profile in ACP you see a button Login. Simply click and login. The problem is there is no log (at least easy way to see it) and you're visible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millipede Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm still on 3.3.4 so I don't know what if any differences there are with how IPB's own "login as" works in 3.4.x, but with 3.3.4 the difference is: This app does not need logging into the ACP, it's mainly used from the front end. You can set it so that the members you're logged in as appears as anonymous. Settings have group permissions, so you can set any group you want to be able to use it, and you can protect groups from being logged into. You go to the member's profile in the front end, click a "Log in as member" button and you're instantly logged in as them. You then "Sign out" and you're instantly and automatically logged back in as your admin self. That's what makes it very much easier and quicker to use, as well as ideal for any admin who may rarely or never go to the ACP. For the moment, I'm using it having renamed the dashboardNotifications.php file so's to disable the problem with accessing the ACP and it's working just fine. I'd hate to see it not work when v.4 comes out! Sonya* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broni Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Are you saying that with dashboardNotifications.php file renamed the hook still works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broni Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Awesome :) I re-enabled it and ACP login time is normal. Thank you :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millipede Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just to add re renaming the file. All that file does is call home to the dev's site for notifications on your dashboard. As I've never had any notifications in several years of using this app (or any other app), I suppose the notifications would be similar to those from IPS. More about the dashboardNotifications.php file here. I had the blocked access to ACP problem, and spent a day with IPS support trying to solve it, when initially thinking the problem was on my server. One of the guys very kindly explained it all to me. Renaming the file just stops the call home to the dev's site (which was down last I tried, hence the problem). It hasn't affected any other part of it for us and we use it a lot.

roc13x Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share Posted May 25, 2013 Hi all, I will be releasing 2.1.3 shortly to address the issues you have posted above. The website it is trying to call to for update checks is no longer active, which is the reason it's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILM2 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 As Dmacleo mentioned, we do not have any problem with this HOOK. Pretty sure. When I delete the hook I can log in real fast. CLARIFICATION: When I say "hangs" I mean If I wait about 90 seconds I can log in and everything is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
