[Forum] Problem in header after upgrading from 4.1.1 to 4.1.3

[jamunkala]

Hello,


This is my forum's header which is version 4.1.3





This is the header of vbulletin.com which is version 4.1.3





The difference is clearly visible that, there is no option of settings in my forum

I am using these plugins which are active :

Forum Category Icons 1.2.4
Helpful Answers 2.4
Percentage PM Quota USed 4.0.1
Vsa - Advanced Forum Rules 5.0.2
Vsa Advanced Permissions based on Post Count 5.1
Yet Another Award System 4.0



I am using these plugins which are inactive :

Inactive User Reminder 2.1.1
Rotating Banner System 2.3.1



Out of all these plugins Email Reminder and Awards System are for vbulletin version 4.0.2 rest are all for vbulletin version 4.x.x


The header template I have is :

<div class="above_body"> <!-- closing tag is in template navbar -->
<div id="header" class="floatcontainer doc_header">
    <vb:if condition="$stylevar['titleimage']"><div><a name="top" href="{vb:link forumhome}" class="logo-image"><img src="http://www.mydomain.com/images/misc/vbulletin4_logo.gif" alt="{vb:rawphrase x_powered_by_vbulletin, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}" /></a></div><vb:else /><div>&nbsp;</div></vb:if>

Please help

Thankyou

When i tried to reupgrade to 4.1.3 it is saying upgrade to skimlinks plugin?

[Trevor Hannant]

Have you tried reverting your header template?

[jamunkala]

Yes sir, it did the trick thankyou

[SkyStryder]

I found the reason for the problem. In the 4.1.3 template the line has {vb:rawphrase control_panel}.
There is no control_panel. If you edit it to {vb:rawphrase user_control_panel} it will work just fine.

[dchapman]

Yes, this is a bug. I experienced the same thing.

Hello,

I'm having the same problem. I reverted all the requied templates including the "header" template. I can't see the Settings tab.

Thanks


EDIT: Nvm. I did what post #5 said and it works.

[Successfulsteps]

This is the same problem I am having, how do revert it or where do you replace that (in which file?) Mine is called User CP and it's gone now, and I asked this in another thread, but the instructions to fix it were way beyond my capabilites.

Please explain this so I can do it easily with clear instructions for someone who is new to vbulletin. I did have a partner who did this for our forum and since the partnership failed, our forum has grown a lot and I need help to fix all the bugs my previous partner has created as well. I just haven't a clue as where to start. I need to do the latest update. But, when I tried to do the last one, it wouldn't take it except under her license, when mine is all setup with vbulletin, which confuses me also. I hated to ask someone who messed my forum up badly to help me do that update, plus it's doubtful she would help with next update anyway. I am currently on 4.1.3. But now I keep running across problem after problem and it's out of hand. I am learning as much as I can as quickly as I can, but it's a lot to take in.

Thank you in advance.

[PET]

Well what problem do you have exactly? Your "User CP" link is not showing up?

[Successfulsteps]

Yes, I can hover where it should be and still click there to get to it, but it's just not visible.

[PET]

Go to Style Manager > Edit Tamplates ... of your main skin.

On that templates list find "header". Double click it.

In that "HTML Code List" search for: {vb:rawphrase control_panel}

Replace it with: {vb:rawphrase user_control_panel}

that worked! Thank you SO much! Now, is there anyway to rename that "Settings" to "Control Panel?"

[Trevor Hannant]

Yes, edit the phrase 'user_control_panel' in:
