Can anyone help me ?..

[Racecar]

I have the same problem

Try disabling your modifications.

[binevi]

which modifications ?

[kj_202]

which modifications ?

I think the products/plugins.

It might be that if you downloaded a mod, the template over written a part of the template so it says "array" Just a thought...

[Wired1]

Disable ALL products / plugins. Assuming this fixes it, turn on one at a time, see which one, or what combination of plugins, causes it.

[prof3ta]

Same problem here. I just spent about 30 minutes disabling and enabling products and cant quite figure out whats causing it. Idea: lets list our products/plugins to see if we can identify what could be the problem:

vBulletin 3.7.0
- AME - The Automatic Media Embeder 1.2.0
- GTSearch: Google™ Custom Search Engine 1.0.0
- ibProArcade for vBulletin 2.6.7
- Members who have Visited 4.43
- PhotoPlog 2.0.6 PhotoPlog: The Lite Gallery
- vBadvanced CMPS 3.0 RC2
- vBShout 2.0 AJAX Shoutbox for vBulletin
- vBulletin Blog 1.0.5

I think it might have to do with vbadvanced but thats just a hunch

[binevi]

im using vbadvanced 3.0.1 . I disabled it to see what happens, nothing changed actually. It should be something else and i think it is about vbulletin 3.7.0 because when i was using 3.7.0 RC X there wasn't any problem.

[snake-boy]

I have the same problem. I'm not running vbadvanced. I upgraded to 3.7.0 from 3.6.8. Everything else appears to be working perfectly.

How can this be fixed?

[Dismounted]

Have you tried disabling all your modifications?

[King Kovifor]

Add this to your config:

define('DISABLE_PLUGINS', true);

Does the problem still persist?

[snake-boy]

Disabled all plugins/products, same result in all styles.

I added:

define('DISABLE_PLUGINS', true);

to config, and same result. I get this on all styles:

The section in the forumhome template that seems relevant to this looks like this:

<!-- today's birthdays -->
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="2">
<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_birthdays')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
$vbphrase[todays_birthdays]
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays]">
<tr>
<td class="alt2"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getday&amp;day=$today&amp;sb=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/birthday.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_birthdays]" border="0" /></a></td>
<td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$birthdays</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end today's birthdays -->

I know virtually nothing about php, but it seems to be the problem is wherever the "$birthdays" variable is referring to for data. But I've no clue how to fix that...??

[Dismounted]

KK provided the wrong code, you should try:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

[Paul M]

We got this the other week, it seemed to upset vbseo as well - I think its a bug somewhere in vb but it went away again so I never bothered to investigate further.

[Dismounted]

Cache, maybe? I think birthdays are stored in the datastore.

[snake-boy]

Ok, so how would I clear this cache to repair the problem? I've run all cache updating tools from the update counters page just in case. Suffice to say, no change.

--------------- Added 1210520040 at 1210520040 ---------------

Tried deleting the data in the datastore/birthdaycache table. No change.

I set my test users date of birth to today and noticed that his data WAS added to the datastore/birthdaycache table. But on the forum I still see "ARRAY", regardless.

Help?

[Dismounted]

Try reuploading your vBulletin files.

[binevi]

which files ?

[King Kovifor]

KK provided the wrong code, you should try:
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Oops. Thanks for clearifying that one. Shows how much I use it.

which files ?

I believe index.php would handle this. But try uploading all stock vBulletin files. Non-image files should not have to be uploaded.

[binevi]

i reuploaded index file as well as others.. But is still same..

And on groups page instead of group owner's nickname [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] appears in every pages.. any idea ?

[Jase2]

Report it in the Bug Tracker over @ vbulletin.com.

Run diagnostics in your admincp -- do you see any files that say "File does not contain expected contents" ?

[Darthvader2007]

Here the same problem.
Is there some fix for this array issue ??

[DoB Rhapsody]

I've had this same problem sense i upgraded from RC to gold.

[binevi]

Run diagnostics in your admincp -- do you see any files that say "File does not contain expected contents" ?

i cnt see that ..

I've had this same problem sense i upgraded from RC to gold.


Same as me

[Dismounted]

Admin CP > Maintenance > Diagnostics

[binevi]

so when i go for Admin CP > Maintenance > Diagnostics this is how my screen looks like :

Do i need to click and test anything there..

and Array problem is about CMPS because when i uploaded new version of VB i just deleted CMPS index file and i was abla to birthdays properly.


And also for [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] problem i saw that if i run my forum in English i can see nick name of group's owner. But when i run in turkish i can only see [ARG:3 UNDEFINED].

[Dismounted]

"Suspect File Versions" ;)

[buurman]

I have this sinds installation of Photoplog I think... or VB 3.7

Abyone have the solution?

[Marco van Herwaarden]

To troubleshoot this, please remove any hacks and disable your plugins, then see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

If so, reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server.

If your problem still exists, please create a new Style with no Parent set. Now browse the forum using this new style, do you still have the same problems? If you are troubleshooting login or guest issues, you will need to set this style as board default in the vBulletin Options.

[flashwave]

I had the same problem and got it fixed. I had accidently kept the old version of index.php when updating from 3.6.x to 3.7.x .
