[FREE MODULE] Login As Customer

[MahmutGulerce]

This module allows BO administrators to login FO as a customer by clicking a simple button at AdminCustomer page. Adds a simple login button to customer pages at BO.

 

The module never needs to change password of customer or any information of a customer. It is also quick and safe due to using own encryiption keys.

Can be used for:
 

• Create orders on behalf of your customers (customers who requested help to ordering just like in live chat, or by phone)
• Redirecting customer by browsing same pagea step by step
• Check for errors or feedbacks froms customer quickly

 

Update: Please follow https://github.com/rowanfuchs/PrestaShop-login-as-a-customer download up to date files.
Thanks to @Rowan - 999 Games

Thanks for your feed back. I feel in outer space due to no one interested in this module yet. 

 

Have a nice shop !

v.1.6.1.4

Thank you.

[hollandtextiles]

Thanks for the module!

 

In the multistore it's working but when a customer belongs to another multistore you can login in every multistore without warning.

 

When you can fix this it;'s perfect!

In fact,I think it looks like it should be. Prestashop core allows that. But if you explain more what restrictions you need I will work on it.

[Rhobur]

Thank you for this very useful module!

I was looking for a solution like this and almost resigned to the idea that I'll have to make a module myself.

Thanks for helping me and others with that.

Hi Mahmut,

Can it be made to work with other profiles not only with the administrator one?

Regards,

Robert

 

[EDIT] : Never mind, solved it by moving it to another hook.

1.6.1.1

 

Got this installed but when I try to login as customer I get a little generic icon with a lock on it.  Any clues?

When you login as the customer, the cart is empty.
Why? I'd like to see the real status of the customer to add items to his cart and that he can see them when he connects.

It doesn't touch cart or any other data of customer when you login as a customer. May you tried on a customer with an empty cart ?

1.6.1.4 - everything looks OK, good job, thank you

Is this available for PS v1.7? If not, are you planning to do it for the new release?

[MahmutGulerce]

Is this available for PS v1.7? If not, are you planning to do it for the new release?

 

I will.

But in fact, I think, developing a new module (not an upgrade) to 1.7 can be easier. Because current module has just a few lines of a few files. But the upgrade have to be tons of lines due to the 1.7 structure  

[kamppa]

Installed to 1.6.1.10 and when I click the button to login as customer it gets redirected to the login as customer icon. There's nothing else in the page.

What are your cookie settings? And have you cleared them after the install?

[kamppa]

I tried again. Deleted all cookies from Firefox after install and tried again but the same result. I don't know about my cookie settings. Should be standard I guess.

Hi, seems useful, when I installed though, I get the following message (because I have another module using the primary key)

Duplicate entry '2-124' for key 'PRIMARY'

INSERT INTO `ps_module_access` (`id_profile`, `id_module`, `view`, `configure`, `uninstall`) (
                SELECT id_profile, 124, 1, 1, 1

More like something went wrong about permissions/tabs before installation. I guest you can still use it.

More like something went wrong about permissions/tabs before installation. I guest you can still use it. 

I re-installed it and got no error this time so it was something random. Now, I don't see the log in button, it displays "" at the bottom of the customer's info page and if I click on it it takes me to the developer's website.

Hi, I tried using the module in PS 1.7.2.2, But did not work. When I try to loging as customer, I get the login window.

 

Is there a solution?

[lubo_ke]

MahmutGulerce Thanks for Great module :-)

 

For those who has problem with login as customers, and after click on icon login as customer saw new page with login screen - its because the customer, you're trying to login, has account in guest group. after transforming it to regular customer account it will work like a charm.

Hey Dear Developer,

Theres is a big security hole in this plugin. I don't want to explain to everbody but i can log in every store-s, every customer's account where this plugin has been installed.

I don't need any secret key or anything, just trying throught the possible customer ids. I think you should fix it!

Hi Reho

thank you for your feedback. As the nature of opensource, secret information can not help to keeping safety,

So you might as well share you found here,  than let us fix if there is a issue.

Okay, here it is:

You can log in with a user for example ID 4 by  accessing the following URL: 
/module/loginascustomer/login?id_customer=4&itoken=a87ff679a2f3e71d9181a67b7542122c

a87ff679a2f3e71d9181a67b7542122c is the md5 hash of "4", what you can generate in any online services, you don't need to write any code.

I don't know why you need the itoken in the /controllers/front/login.php:41 it's just looks like a backdoor.

With these method, any data miner or hacker can walk through the shop's customers and collect sensiteve data.

[MahmutGulerce]

Hi

Thanks for reply, It seems the the file I attached first message is not the last version. The condition is 

if ($id_customer = (int)Tools::getValue('id_customer') && Tools::getValue('xtoken') == $this->module->makeToken($id_customer))

And the makeToken function uses a protected-hidden defined key (_COOKIE_KEY_) of store like: 

public function makeToken($id_customer)
{
     return md5(_COOKIE_KEY_.$id_customer.date("Ymd"));
}

for the version I've. 

Anyway, thank you for your feedback. In fact, I've not updated this topic more than 2 years. I'm updating the file in first message right now. 

 

thanks.

Hi, thank lot for your module. I'm using prestashop 1.6.1.19

I'm having a problem with the module that is causing a 500 error.

It worked on a few clients and then caused this error. I use a module that allows to connect with Amazon, paypal, twitter etc ... the problem can not it come from there when a customer has created his account in this way?

It's not fixed yet.

To fix this you can change the code of loginascustomer\controllers\front\login.php file, i.e. remove a code from the condition:

OR Tools::getValue('itoken') == md5((string)Tools::getValue('id_customer'))

 

 

[MahmutGulerce]

Prestashop 1.7.4

Prestashop 1.7.1.X (For some reason, i can't access the Info Page of this particular Prestashop since installation almost) 

 

Thanks to the Developer by the way, this is really usefull for us. 

[ANGELO Vintage]

PS 1.6.1.18 the latest version you posted in first post give me error 500.

 

Doing a diff of old and latest version the difference is in the login.php file:

 

OLD version:

if (($id_customer = (int)Tools::getValue('id_customer')) && (Tools::getValue('xtoken') == $this->module->makeToken($id_customer) OR Tools::getValue('itoken') == md5((string)Tools::getValue('id_customer'))))

Latest version in first post

if ($id_customer = (int)Tools::getValue('id_customer') && (Tools::getValue('xtoken') == $this->module->makeToken($id_customer))

 

using the debug i've a following error on latest version

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/rangelon/public_html/modules/loginascustomer/controllers/front/login.php on line 43

 

I don't uderstand witch is the correct one because both are marked as 0.7.2

Thanks for any support

Hi. Only re install module.  Always you upgrade presta some modules dont work. Re install and ready. Verify.. grettins 

The module is not compatible with PrestaShop 1.7.6.0 because the customer page that the module is hooked to is migrated.

[b-w-p]

Bonjour,

Le module fonctionne--t-il sous prestashop 1.7.5.2 ?

Merci d'avance
