Removing a plugin without admin panel?

[dastardly]

Our shoutbox is causing errors refusing the forum from loading, so does anyone know how to remove inferno shout without using the admin panel?

error is:

Warning: require_once(public_html/forum/infernoshout/engine/inferno_engine.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(341) : eval()'d code on line 100

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'public_html/forum/infernoshout/engine/inferno_engine.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in public_html/forum/global.php(341) : eval()'d code on line 100

Add this to your config.php, just below the initial comments.

define('DISABLE_HOOKS',true);

You should then be able to login as normal and disable, delete the shoutbox product.

Thanks. Another question, what does DISABLE_HOOKS actually disable? We have a strange error with the forum (we thought was shoutbox) yet when you add DISABLE_HOOKS it will fix it, though I dont think the error is in a plugin.

The other error is:
vBulletin Message
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 2 characters.

Also, no skin is displayed and it looks to be in archive mode. This message is displayed instantly at index.

If anyone knows the problem, it would be great, but just knowing what DISABLE_HOOKS disables would help a lot too.

DISABLE_HOOKS disables your hooks, and makes your plug ins no longer function. So, if it fixes your problem, it is indeed one of your plug ins that is creating your problems.

Thanks a ton, got it figured out and working (or so we think ;) )

If you want to disable this, go to vbulletin options, posting settings (not the exact name, cant think of it) and change min character to post to 0

It's actually amazing :erm:

Just to remind you / add some info, uninstall the hack while the hooks are disabled, then take the code out...
