admincp problem

[Midohash]

Hello,

The sidebar of my admincp became contracted for unknown reason just few days ago!

I couldn't remember that I had any modifications done recently.

Any advise to get it expanded as before?

Image attached.

Many thanks

So the sidebar disappeared? It sounds like the file is gone. Check your /includes/xml directory and make sure cpnav_vbulletin.xml file is in there (there should be at least seven files in there).

Looks like the side panel is detached in that screenshot

No it doesn't disappear completely, it shrunk only for unknown reason! ... I can hardly use the arrows to display the drop down menu :(

Exactly

Try on your keyboard hold CTRL and the scroll on you mouse if you don't have a scroll on your mouse then use the + or - while holding CTRL

Thank you. This helped to reduce the overall size of the screen so I can see now the arrows of the drop down menu but didn't eliminate the white space between the sidebar and the main admincp page shown on the screenshot

Don't see any screenshot you must of removed it. An upload of what you see now may help. Also try disabling your plugins via the config to see if that helps.
To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Sorry I forgot to attach the new screenshot (attached now) ... the screen gets smaller now but not only in admincp but everywhere else :)

I am not suspecting any problems with the plugin system because I hadn't modified/added any new hacks recently

You need to disable the plugin system to check if you leave out any checks then we can't help you fix the problem

I disabled the plugin system as you explained from config.php but the forum index.php page disappeared and I got this message:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/almatar/public_html/vb/includes/config.php
Line: 1

Also the problem in the admincp persisted while plugins disabled, so I have re-enabled it again now

do you have the vbulletin default skin installed also what program did you use to edit the config file

First thanks ForceHSS for your patience with me.

I don't think my current style is the vbulletin default. I used notepad to edit config.php.

Have you tried reuploading the /cpstyles directory?

Only use notepad ++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.6.3.html) to edit any files

Not yet, I'll give it a try. Thanks Lynne

Thanks for the link. I downloaded notepad ++ and will try to re-edit config.php with it
