Migration from vbulletin 3.8.9 plugin / hooks system

[tylererdie]

All described in the error message.

Open global.php in a "real" text editor like notepad++

Look at the hook that is evaled on line 400.

Update all plugins installed using the hook. It will be line 8 of the offending plugin.

Repeat as necessary for each subsequent error.

Or contact the developers of your addons and have them upgrade them for you.

I know this is going to come as a complete shocker at the moment.
But in plugins where would I update to make it current to 3.8.11
User Group Color Bar and Inferno Shoutbox Pro i used in 3.8.9 no longer work in 3.8.11
I'm willing to put the time into fixing them if someone can point me in right direction.

Thank you.

PHP made changes to how variables and regular expressions are handled. You need to update them to handle these changes. Only thing I can suggest is get it on a test server. Get the error, fix it and update the test server. repeat. If there aren't updated version of these addons already.

Not trying to be difficult but I know absolutely nothing about your addon code so can't say "Change this line, this line and this line."

Wayne I think your support your providing is great. I've just not changed anything in many many many years.
Unfortunately i'm a bit behind on the times. Sorry to be a bother.

Wayne,

Specific question here.

Error: Call to undefined function filter_v() appears the function filter_v does not work in 3.8.11 is this correct?

[B]Error[/B]: Call to undefined function filter_v() in [B]..../authlist.php[/B] on line [B]75[/B]

if($_GET['action'] == "update")
{
  $adress = filter_v($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
  $name = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];
  $ipq = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Auth_Check WHERE forum_account = '$name'";
  $count = mysql_evaluate($ipq);
  if($count == 0)
     {
        $InitQuery = "INSERT INTO Auth_Check (forum_account,ip_adress) VALUES ('$name','$adress')";
        mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"], $InitQuery);
     }
 mysqli_query($GLOBALS["___mysqli_ston"],  "UPDATE Auth_Check SET `date_last_updated` = NOW( ), ip_adress = '$adress' WHERE forum_account = '$name'");
}

Edit does VBCMPS Advanced still work?
