Data Manager error in vb 4.2.0

[jamoss]

- I have a universal login: website->vbull
- Just upgraded to vb 4.2.0
- When I try to create a new user (new reg), I get this error when trying to initialize the data manager:
Fatal error: Please check the $bitfields array in the vB_DataManager_User class definition - $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions is not a valid bitfield.
in includes/class_dm.php on line 220

- BUT! When the exact same function is called to SAVE an existing user's record, it works.

I have used tools.php to fix the bitfields, I have run the upgrade script completely. Still happening. Any ideas?

have you edited that php file in any way in the also try replacing it with a fresh unedited one

[jamoss]

No, didn't edit it. And I will upload..although I don't know why one function would call it and it would work, and the other would call it and it wouldn't work.

The function it's trying to call is:
datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_CP);

hope this helps you work out the problem from line 187 to 220

function vB_DataManager(&$registry, $errtype = ERRTYPE_STANDARD)
{
if (!is_subclass_of($this, 'vB_DataManager'))
{

$this->set_error_handler($errtype);

$this->bitfields["$key"] =& $this->registry->$val;

Thanks! It looks like it does have to do with bitfields that are either set or not set, triggering this error.

I got away with commenting out line #224 in class_dm.php and it works. That's a kluge, but at least it will let me move forward and complete registrations until I figure out a real fix.
