[TH] Login As User [Deleted]

[Jon W]

PIC of half Welsh baby princess?

Not allowed, sorry. Mother's orders.

Is it possible to login As User without their 'last seen' time/date changing? Another good use for this addon is, members who have left the site but have followed other members.... An admin can login as the member and Unfollow people the user was following... But at the same time, not letting other members notice that the user logged in.

I requested an addon here: Follow/Unfollow option maybe you can consider creating it? I think many admins will make use of it.

Yes, this is possible.

If you are interested in this, please contact me directly for a price. I don't actively look for add-ons to make so you need to ask me.

 

[ineedhelp]

Yes, this is possible.

This already exists in the add-on or will need to be included in an update?

Already exists. Have a look in the options.

On the add ons I have by Waindigo, I don't bother putting the xml file within the install/data folder, so I don't need to worry about that happening. That's what causes the issue. It won't do any harm not to add it.

This will only happen if you have other Waindigo add-ons installed and also have uploaded add-ons but subsequently uninstalled them.

If you have uninstalled, you can remove the related installation file from install/data. As oman says, you can also not upload it in the first place. The message will only appear if there are xml files uploaded that aren't installed though, so while it won't cause any harm not to add it, there is no harm from adding it either. In fact, there are some additional benefits with some add-ons from uploading the file.

Also, if you upload more than one Waindigo add-on, you can install them all in one go (and only rebuild caches once) by clicking that link. Not all of our add-ons support this yet, but they will do soon.

Smacked into a bug today, or a somewhat odd side effect: As admin, I banned a user. I was curious as to what the message was he would see, so I logged into as him. Unfortunately, I couldn't switch back. Nor could I log out. Kept popping up saying THIS USER HAS BEEN BANNED. I had to delete my cookies and browser cache to get back in.

Just experienced the same thing about 5 minutes ago. Luckily I was on a browser I don't often use.

Re Waindigo,
Following My PM, as a reminder :

looked today at my server logs and found this message.
Strange thing is that message says User could not be found, but i did not use the function.

XenForo_Exception: The requested user could not be found. - library/Waindigo/LoginAsUser/Extend/XenForo/Model/User.php:18

Just changed to John's mega theme, which moves all user options to the mod bar (see screenshot), which means I have lost the login as user link. Any advice on getting it back?

Probably best to speak to @John about this.

Edit: if he has any suggestions of improvements I could make to my code to make it work better with his themes, do tell him to pass them on.

ok. Thanks!

Spoke to John:

3 - Whatever code his addon adds will need to be manually added to our xeno_moderator_bar template. He should be able to tell you the code.

@Waindigo What code do you use for the link?

 

[Jon W]

@Travis, you need to include the line:

<xen:include template="waindigo_you_are_using_as_user_loginasuser" />

The template waindigo_moderator_bar_loginasuser might help you with where to put it in the xeno_moderator_bar template.

I installed this mod but it does not seem to work on my setup as I just don't see the option on a users profile. I did setup the following.

1. In the mod setting selected admin as being able to login as user.
2. In my admin usergroup permission selected the permission for admin to login as user.

 

[Jon W]

Firstly, the Admin Control Panel option is for who you can log-in as, so you want to select the user groups of the users that you want to be able to select.

Secondly, the option does not appear on the user's profile. It will appear on their member card and there is also a link in your moderator bar at the top of the page. If you have a custom theme, you may need to make a template modification similar to the one made in the posts immediately above yours.

 

[DirtRider]

Ok I have checked this on the default skin as well as my custom skin and this is how it looks

 

[Jon W]

Your option page should look something like this:


Unless the member you are viewing is in the Administrative user group, you will not see the Login As User link on their member card the way you had it set up.
