Login as Customer module [Support Thread]

It needs to be updated. I hope it will also be rationalized so there's only *one* copy of the mod in the zip file, since maintaining two copies (one with and one without) has led to a divergence in the two versions, and likely bugs.

ALAC has been updated to support 1.5.6. Please note that Master Password contribution has been separated out and now needs to be installed separately.

Thanks Scott

Unfortunately I was too quick in installing this update… it has now completely mucked up my "german" customer files. There isn't an update for the German pack yet and so this mod doesn't work together with old translations.

It is installed and working on my test upgrade site. Now to figure out how to get it to login securely since I get a warning when confirming I wish to login as that customer that data is being transmitted over a non-secure connection.

Installed plugin without any problem. Master plugin works as described. However when i click on the customer page button Place Order the Login As Customer page looks correct but when I click on place order the customer email account is not transferred to the login screen. I checked the installation file placement and the SQL record and everything if there. The Login_As_Customers does get records written.

Error: Sorry, there is no match for that email address and/or password.

Correction
The SQL records are not written to the Login_As_Customer table.

The record is removed as soon as the catalog page is loaded. But I found some bugs in the display on the catalog side when I was using php 7.2 that might have caused some confusion. Please download the updated zip and try again.

Login page problem still exists.

You'll have to work with your developer to review your installation then. It's impossible for me to know what went wrong.

I have uninstalled and re-installed this plugin three times now. No modifications were made to the plugin code. I have merged the customer.php from a current download of 1.5.6 customer.PHP and I have tried the customer.php in the plugin getting the same results. If i enter the customers email address and the master password it works. Why do you think the customer email address is not passed from the Login as Customer page?
