Signatures not parsing bbcode

[amykhar]

I have checked signature permissions. They seem good. I have cleared the signature cache. No effect.

Anything else I should be doing?

Edited to add, it's not just sigs. It's the posts period. BBCode isn't parsing.

Doublecheck permissions. If that's not it, disable Plugins and undo code changes, to see if that fixes it.

[amykhar]

with the plugin system off, the problem still exists. No code changes have been made and I have not made any template edits to postbit or showthread templates. Most templates are stock, except for the header.

Edit: Could you PM me AdminCP and FTP details please?

[amykhar]

Think I found something in vbulletin settings, I get this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /adminfunctions_options.php on line 124

and the list of valid bbcodes does not show.

[Colin F]

I don't see anything related to vB Code around line 124...

[amykhar]

Don't know. Haven't had time to open the code yet. But, the error appears on the screen immediately above the bbcode section, which is empty.

I finally got a chance to open the code this morning. It's bitfields. I had removed an xml file from a mod I no longer used and rebuilt the bitfields. It caused errors all over the place. I did a backup of my xml directory and put up a clean one with just the default vbulletin xml files in it and rebuilt the bitfields. The error went away.

I'm going to slowly test adding back in modification xml files. If I figure out which one did it, I'll post here in case anybody else runs into the same problem.

[amykhar]

For the curious, it was a pre-release version of a commercial mod that caused the issue. It's not likely to affect any other people, but if the problem does pop up for others, we at least know the culprit is a bitfield file from a mod.

[Omega Prime]

Is it possible to say or PM me the mod which caused this? I'm getting the same exact issue you're experiencing, so any help would be appreciated

[amykhar]

Sure. I'll pm you. But for the general solution, it's best to pull out all mod bitfield xml files, rebuild bitfields, then start adding mod bitfields back in one by one, rebuilding bitfields each time, until you find the offending one.

[Omega Prime]

Unless I'm overlooking something, trying your technique didn't work. I started with just the default vB xmls and worked from there, but even when I used just those, bbcode still didn't work for me (note that I'm talking about the forum as a whole and not just sigs)

[amykhar]

Omega, there's one more step to do. After you get the offending xml file out and rebuild the bitfields, go you your user options. Set the bbcodes on that you want to use, and save it.

THEN, you have to go rebuild your post cache and maybe even rebuild your threads. I did threads first and then post cache. Not sure if both are necessary or not.

i don't even have an on / off switch on my bbcodes. but i'm having the same issue.
