Errors since upgrade to 3.6.1

[BellyBelly]

This is very weird. SOME members are having troubles and others not. Here are some of the problems:



Since recent upgrades/changes I can no longer bold by highlighting text & clicking on B icon. I can bold manually by typing the brackets & B around the text. Same goes for Italics & Underline. Also, sometimes when I click on someone's name it brings up the drop down menu like it used to, other times it takes me straight to the person's profile. I also can't click on emoticons to include them in my posts. I can only use them if I type them out.



I'm having the same (can't click to bold/italic/quote, can't do moods, errors on page), but only in MS Internet Explorer - at home, using Firefox, I don't have these problems. Is it a browser issue?


I'm also having trouble clicking on the Quick Links section... a variety of things occur at random... mostly just takes me to a plain purple page with "error on page" on the bottom task bar.

Oh and not only does my bold feature not work.... the whole row of text modifications like underlining and italics don't work either.



I can't B, I, U or click & use an emoticon. When I click on someone's username it still takes me straight to their profile instead of the drop down menu.

I'm also getting "Error on page" down the bottom of each page.

I have also added a mod where users can select their moods and I think its the same users experiencing the above problems who cannot access this feature. They are also getting some errors, one I have noted before I ran tools.php but cant see anymore:

Line: 4008
Char: 1
Error: 'vbphrase' s undefined
Code: 0

There are some other errors of varying comments.

These errors have been happening since the upgrade a few days ago apparently, I put the mod in yesterday.

Some of these things have worked intermittently and some not at all. I am wondering if it was due to the fact that when I started the upgrade, I hadn't turned off the forums when I thought I had. I did run the upgrade again and I have also used the tools.php to repair and refresh but no luck. Any ideas?

First, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file.

Next, disable all plugins.

Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

Okay so I am reuploading the files for the upgrade... then I need to turn off the plugins - does this have to be done in config.php or can I do it in admin panel?

[Steve Machol]

I would do it in config.php which is why I recommended it.

I just hate playing around in code, I am not that great, I will give it a go though if I can find where it is. Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about it messing up your code. Basically you are just adding a line immediately after <?php

So as long as you don't add anything else other than

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

you are in good shape :)

Deleted.

Nope still errors:

Line: 1871
Char: 2
Error: object expected
Code: 0

Will try creating new style.

[BellyBelly]

Created the new style and it fixed her problem. So I guess that means the template I had designed wasnt compatible with the upgrade?

ETA: Still some others are saying they had no problems and still don't... very frustrating when some have the problem and some dont!!!

I faced this problem before and one advised me to change the directory name

my forum was on mysite.com/vb/ and I just change it to mysite.com/forum/ and the problem solved!!
