Problem with patch 3?

[Parker123]

Ok since i installed PL3 I have been getting the following error on some of the mods that are used on my forum. Im wanting to know if its just me or if its happening to other people as well and hopefully someone will be able to help me fix the issue.

I have actually seen one other person with this issue. Could someone please help asap?

Thanks in advance!

It has to do with your version of php, which is a higher version than was intended for vb3. But you should be able to get rid of the errors by editing global.php and putting this near the top (after the block of comments):

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);


then do the same for admincp/global.php and modcp/global.php.

Thanks a lot. From what I can see it has fixed it. If I have any more probs with this I will let you know. Thanks again!

After using the piece of code you sent me the errors did disappeared but some of the mods are still unusable. Im really not sure what is wrong with it.

that file install.php is now with error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); am still getting thet error Help!

[kh99]

What version of php do you have? That code used to work but lately a few people have said it doesn't, and I'm not sure why. Maybe try this instead:
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT);


You could also try turning off error messages altogether, like:
ini_set("display_errors", "0");

[WHN]

with that code
ini_set("display_errors", "0");
solved this errors

I think that's because some of the other install files have their own error_reporting() and ini_set() calls which are overriding yours. Here's what I'd do - since those are actually just warnings, ignore them while you are doing the install. Then if they still show up on the forum once it's installed, we can figure out which other files you need to change.

but i cant go ahead with install because of this errors am put costumer number

Customer number entered successfully.
Redirecting...

and am redirected again to install.php costumer number colum

[kh99]

OK, well, I'm not sure the errors are your problem but I suppose they could be. What you could do then is to try looking at files init.php and installcore.php (in the intstall directory) and change the ini_set('display_errors', true) to false.

that errors solved with @ini_set('display_errors', false);

but there are still 2 errors

i still can't go ahead with instalation

[kh99]

Well, you can always go to each line that's mentioned in the warning and take out the '&'. For example, change

$mail =& vB_QueueMail::fetch_instance();


to
$mail = vB_QueueMail::fetch_instance();

[WHN]

i lost database connection with that change

[kh99]

I'd have to guess that that's an unrelated error, but I don't know why that would happen.

[Simon Lloyd]

Your install seems fine to me, the links work and i don't see any errors?

[juan71287]

[hostmela]
