can't find the SAVE button on Add New Forum

[angemon]

Hello everyone ,
recently i've been facing this issue where I can't see all the tables in the admincp >
Forums & Moderators > Add New Forum .
Basicly I can see everything ,even the VSa - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count section
but now I only see until "Enable / Disable Features" , so I didn't give much attention for that since I don't set permission everyday , but today I'm trying to create a new section in my forum but I can't find even the save button
I hope someone can help
here is what I can see

What version of vB4 are you running?
What version of PHP are you running?
Does the same behavior happen with all mods disabled?

To temporarily disable all mods:

Open your includes/config.php file and below<?php add this line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);So it looks like this:
<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
/*================================================= =====================*\
|| ################################################## ################## ||
|| # vBulletin 4.2.2

Once testing is done, you can then remove that line from the includes/config.php file.

Thanks for your reply @ozzy47
I've vbulletin 4.2.2 and i'm running PHP Version 5.4.32
I've done what you've said about disabling the all the mods but nothing happen , i'm still having the same issue

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, perhaps add the following line to your includes/config.php under the <?php line:


define('SKIP_ALL_ERRORS', true);

[angemon]

thanks for trying to help me out @ozzy47 , but the second solution didn't work as well (nothing happen when I add the PHP code in my config.php file)
I'm having issue with this file admincp/forum.php since it's the one responsible for editing and adding new forums (sections)

[ozzy47]

Did you try uploading a new file, overwriting the one that is there?

[angemon]

I've upload forum.php using filezilla and overwrite that file but nothing changed , I don't know why

Maybe a browser issue, have you tried with other browsers?

[angemon]

Maybe a browser issue, have you tried with other browsers?
no, it's not , I've tried with firefox ,chrome and opera and I got the same issue , I really need to add some sections

[ForceHSS]

Get ozzy to login to your admin panel to see if he can see the buttons you can't if he does not have the time I will do it

Go to your plugin manager and look for any forumadmin_edit_form hooks and disable them. See if that works. The save button is after that hook so there's probably faulty code in that hook.

[ozzy47]

Yeah, with a full admin account, I can check it out after work.

Try disabling any ad blockers you have on your browser. Also if hooks aren't causing the problem, see if you have any changed files:

ACP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

I've got a long list , but this is what I guess I need to look into

any ideas what can I do now !?
PS: I did go to vbulletin.com and download vbulletin 4.2.2 again then I upload the file forum.php just trying to fix that issue but nothing happen and I don't know why i'm getting this "forum.php= File does not contain expected contents" even that I've just upload the file forum.php

[angemon]

Yeah, with a full admin account, I can check it out after work.

Ozzy did you see my last screenshot !? any idea !?

[ozzy47]

I saw it, nothing stands out as being the cause of it.

[angemon]

I saw it, nothing stands out as being the cause of it.

can I use mysql to create a section , I need to create just one more section

[ozzy47]

I think that would be a bit tricky, as IIRC info is stored in a few different places.

So any idea what to do now !!

[ozzy47]

You need someone to look into your site and see what is going on. Best bet would be to open a support ticked at vB.com. :)

[tbworld]

Anything listed in your error.logs. Script timing out, Maximum number of input variables exceeded, etc.?

What charset are you using?
Are you using any special encoding?

Replying back to your PM. I really dont have much time for Skype Support so I thought I will still try reply and help out here.

I have no Idea what is causing it. There has been some very good replies and the Guys replying knows way more than I do. But I will still try...

I followed the help topc and know that you have been Disabling your Products/Plugins using your Config File like "Ozzy47" Explained. I sugggest you try Disable your Products one by one Manually and then see if the issue still appears.

----------------------------
First recommendation / Disable Your Products One at a Time:
----------------------------

- Goto your Products Page, and Disable each of your Products one by one. And Everytime you Disable a Product then go back to the "Add Forums" page and see if the Issue still appears.

Do the same thing with all your Installed Products, Disable them one by one and then Check.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another Recommendation / Re-upload Fresh Set of vBulletin Forum Files
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- If you still have the same issue after having your Products Disabled one by one, Then this is the Last option I would have done. It could be that one of vBulletins Styles or one of the XML Files are currupt or maybe not fully uploaded somehow.

You can try upload a new set of vBulletin 4.2.2 files on top of your Old Files to see if that fixes the issues. If you want to do so, then Follow the instructions below.

1) First make sure to Backup your Forum Files and your vB Database. Just inscase somethign goes wrong.

2) Download the LATEST Patched vBulletin Forum Software from vBulletin.com's Members Area.

3) Beside the install folder, Re-upload all vBulletin 4.2.2 files from the "upload" folder and overwrite your old vBulletin Boards files.

- Once again, Do NOT Upload the "install" folder.
- Try now login to yoru vBulletins AdminCP and see if the issue still appears.

Reply back on how it went. Good luck

Try overwriting the file using your cPanel file manager or Plesk file manager. Sometimes I've found that using Filezilla does not always overwrite properly. So if you login to your hosting account that uses one of those or if you have something else that allows you to upload files try uploading forum.php that way. What is happening is your file is not getting overwritten. I've seen this same thing on a client's server. He has the host from hell and weird things like this happen all the time.

Thanks for your replies guys, I've done everything above but nothing work , I don't get why only /admincp/forum.php is the only file that it's not working , everything is working great , all the admin panel is fine , it's only this forum.php which is not ok when trying to add or manage a forum

[HM666]

Try getting your host to overwrite the file. They may have better luck on their end.

[angemon]
