Login as Customer module [Support Thread]

[gilby]

I had the same problem. It is because your ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG in your admin/includes/configure.php variable is set to ''. Set it to either 'true' or 'false'

I also had to modify the tpl_login_as_customer_default.php file to get the values to display on the page by adding adding the missing php to ? (<?php echo). FYI, the state will not display b/c the query in the modified customers.php needs to join to the TABLE_ZONES to get it and pass it in, but I didn't care, so I left it alone. Great Add-on though! Thanks for creating it!!!

<?php

$email = $_POST['email_addr'];
$pass = $_POST['password'];
$first_name = $_POST['firstname'];
$last_name = $_POST['lastname'];
$c_company = $_POST['company'];
$c_id = $_POST['cid'];
$c_address = $_POST['address'];
$c_city = $_POST['city'];
$c_state = $_POST['cstate'];
$c_zipcode = $_POST['zipcode'];
$c_telephone = $_POST['phone'];
$url = $_POST['s_url'];
$token = $_SESSION['securityToken'];
$url .= "index.php?main_page=login&amp;action=process";
?>

  </table>

";
?>

As well $url is now defined and used by zen 155a
Change all 3 instances of $url to something else, say $z_url
This will fix the destination url problem

Tks for answering.
You are right, however I think the problem lays in the installer.
The ssl option should be compiled by the installer to false if you do not choose the ssl option during installation.
Left not compiled may lead to many problems with other plugins too.

Is there a v4.0 update planned soon? i.e. from v1.5.5 to v1.5.5a

[OldNGrey]

RE: V4.0 - the current latest download actually is for 1.5.5 and works on 1.5.5a as long as the changes listed by gilby are applied.
Thanks gilby

I updated from 1.5.5a to 1.5.5b. Upon activating 1.5.5b, all Admin and customer facing site appear to be fully functional, except:

When using the 'Place Order' feature on behalf of the customer under Admin>Customers, the error of "Page Not Found" occurs when the button "Continue" is selected on https://mysite.com/index.php?main_pa...ckout_shipping as the URL https://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=checkout_payment is sought by the browser.

I the copied all of the original and latest files for Admin Login As Customer v4.0 to my 1.5.5b install, which did NOT resolve the issue.

Any suggestions?

[Lopi]

Doesnt work in 1.5.5.e. If I click to place order the ze redirect to admin page http://www.mysite/myadmin/customers....in_as_customer

any idea ?

Thank you

[EZorb]

i just updated my cart from 1.5.1 to 1.5.5 installed the add-on with master password and every time i click "place order" i just get redirected to the admin/customers page. it does not go to the page to login as customer like it did in 1.5.1.
I've reinstalled, double checked spelling on the template folder, etc.. and i can't seem to figure it out.

this was installed to the "responsive_classic" template that is default on 1.5.5

i have ssl enabled on both store and admin, if that matters.

this is the page it tries to load.... customers.php?vcheck=yesindex.php?main_page=login_as_customer
but like i said it just loads admin/customers page.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I am going from 1.5.1 to 1.5.5e and have same basic problems you experenced.
Were you able to fix this module? If so would you share the fix?

Lat9 said "used to automatically login to the selected customer's account until DrByte pointed out that the feature essentially gave any admin-hacker the keys-to-the-kingdom, so the functionality was removed."

If true then I don't want to use it and jeopardize security.

[swguy]

A reasonable workaround would be to use one of the master password mods.
Anyone who has hacked into your admin already *has* the keys to the kingdom BTW.

[EZorb]

Which do you suggest?

Lat9 said "used to automatically login to the selected customer's account until DrByte pointed out " security concerns

If true then I don't want to use it and jeopardize security.

As I said, prior versions of Encrypted Master Password did log in automatically. Now, the password of a configured admin is required.
