Invalid fetch_user hook killed my board!

[zethon]

I was trying to implement a fetch_user hook, and in my coding I accidentally refered to the "db" object as $db instead of $vbulletin->db like I should gave. As expected, I got an error when I reloaded the board.

So, I went into my database, and manually disabled and then even removed the hook altogther. Problem is, I can't get my board back!

The error is:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/utyxqjyy/public_html/includes/functions.php(1219) : eval()'d code on line 10

It looks like vBulletin is still complaining about that hook, even though it's gone! I've also disabled other hooks that use the same function.

Help?!

You should not manually update the database, but instead use our build tools to manage this.

Place in includes/config.php: define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); below <?php on a new line and then go into the admincp.

Go to the products/plugins page where you added your hook and disable it.

Once disabled, you can remove this line from config.php again.

Edit: Seems that it's only breaking for me (the admin)!

If I delete my cookies and view the board, no problem. If I sign in under another user. No problem. If I sign in under my admin account, I get the above error! Help!!

It is because your datastore has invalid information. This is why we don't recommend deleting many things directly from the database. If you can log into your AdminCP, edit a plugin and save it to rebuild the datastore. This may fix your issue.
