Hi all,
I recently upgraded version VBB
Upgrade vbb 4.2.2 Err: Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(561) : eval()'d code on line 292

Line 292 of class_bootstrap.php: if (do_facebook_redirect())

Hope you help fix. I think conflicting plugin. Tks!

Im getting a simliar error. The first 2 lines output by my newly updated site are:

Warning: date() [function.date]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in ..../includes/init.php(351) : eval()'d code on line 55

Warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in ..../includes/class_bootstrap.php(561) : eval()'d code on line 149

[ then about 100 more warnings about the timezone ]

I upgraded from 4.2.0 PL3 to 4.2.2 and these new warnings spam the page.

verified same results with disable_hooks set to 1 in the config.php. My admincp wont even load now.

HI,

You need to read this

I have hosted the forum on a shared host and I can not access the php.ini
Also I have no access to the administration panel.
Everything is completely fallen.

From where I access vB4 Jira project?

Thanks and regards

I am on a shared host and I have full access to my files.

Open a ticket with your host and ask them to add this to the php.ini

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

Replace "America/New_York" with the right one for you....which you can find here. http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.america.php

As for the item listed in #4 in the link.

You need to access your files and edit the lines they instructed. The location is inside the includes folder of your forum in class_core.php - lines 5683-5685

case E_NOTICE:
case E_STRICT:
case E_DEPRECATED:
// Just ignore these completely
// break;

Thanks. It works again.
