I have a user named Slice 'N Dice and when you click on his name it gives an error message:

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

Database error in vBulletin: Invalid SQL: SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postusername='Slice 'N Dice' AND open!='10'
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax near 'N Dice' AND open!='10'' at line 1
mysql error number: 1064

So how do I go about fixing this bug?

That is from a hack you installed. It does not properly handle the user name. You will have to contact the Hack Author for support. We cannot provide official support to a hack or other addon.

So if I registered here with that name it would work?

(How do you know it was a hack that is causing it) :confused:

It's just a guess but vB usually uses the addslashes function to add the ' ' around the entries which fixes the problem.

Orca is right.
For non-numeric entries (post, title, username, password, etc.) the entry first goes thru the addslashes() function.
But it doesn't add ' (what's the point in that, it'll just cause more problems), it adds \ before ' and " to avoid the problem.

Well, true Firefly. That with '' was silly. I somehow thought about the \ but made a mess. Oh well, the exams crush my brain...

Well I don't have "0" posts so I can't view the forum, but I do have a problem, or did have a problem with a user name of "T & A". Everytime I updated the counters it would show his name as "T ;amp & ;amp A". Weird is it not?

So, any info for a noobie on how I can fix this problem? I have no idea what hack could of caused this problem. :(

In your member.php, find this

Code:

SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postusername

and paste here the full line of this.

Code:



// Find out how many threads this user has started



  $startcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postusername='$userinfo[username]' AND open!='10'");



  $starts = $startcount[starts];



  // end Find threads

That would be the hack. It's the hack that allows you to see how many threads a person has started. It shows it in the profile.

The hack instructions can be found here.

(Thanks for the help FireFly)

PHP Code:


		
			
// Find out how many threads this user has started

  $startcount = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(title) AS starts FROM thread WHERE postusername='".addslashes($userinfo[username])."' AND open!='10'");

  $starts = $startcount[starts];

  // end Find threads

I think that's what you need.
