Make sure that you've uploaded all of your files correctly in the correct paths, The vBulletin system can't find the vBFoster classes.

vBFoster doesn't make any changes into the admincp, There's a wrong paths issue in your forum, You need to make sure that you've /core in your forum URL to let vBulletin load the css files.

nhawk 09-17-2012 01:53 PM
That error comes up even with the files uploaded to the correct folders.

The only way to get rid of the error is to remove /core/packages/vBFoster.

this is where your pacjage is placed, i used the autoconfig script do deal with the correct paths when installing beta 10

does your script rely on any MYSQL version ?, are your queries compatible with MySQL Version 5.5.23-55 ?

/core/packages/vBFoster.

vBFoster 09-17-2012 09:49 PM
I can't reproduce any issues like that, I need to check if further, Can anyone of you guys PM me with admincp and ftp info ?

Thank you :)

vBFoster in general a set of new features in just a one click installation, Learn More about vBFoster here : http://www.vbfoster.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1

All of these modifications are our own modification since the first version of them :
Advanced Editor : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=264219
Hide Links : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228228
Spam Manager : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=282855 ... etc.

And vBFoster is already released for vB4 and that's the upgraded version of it, I really don't know what you exactly want, We are upgrading our own modifications and codes from vB4 to work with vB5 like any other coder do :)

I've tried a fresh new installation of vB5 and I can go to the extensions list without any error, Screen-shot attached.

Remember that vBulletin itself is in beta stage and the extensions system was contain a bug I found it when I was developing the first beta of vBFoster in the same place which has been fixed in one of the vBulletin alpha versions : http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-3112 I don't know if you have the access to it or not.

So any one have the same error please send a PM to vBFoster account, And sorry for my late reply :)

Yes, That's why I said this problem was in alpha and it should be fixed.

Anyone experience the same issue, Please send a PM to vBFoster account, I need to check the issue a bit more closely.

the biggest issue is upload, from that point you expect me to still upload it, whilst it caused a perm issue with the forum itself :(

and if its been sorted on beta 10 for a few customers, why hasn't the fix been updated for the latest release ?
i dont won't to re-upload it until the fix is available for beta 10 i am not prepared to lose my forum once again

nhawk 09-22-2012 01:14 PM
I'm going to be a really nice guy and tell you what the problems are...

1) Most *nix servers are case sensitive. You must use lower case letters for the package name in the core/packages folder. (if you don't believe that, check the thread about DBTech's infopanels mod in the alpha forums - page 2 post 18)

2) You have an index problem in phrase.php. Check if the phrase is set with isset() before checking the contents.

Those are the two I found and I hope that helps. :D

Any vBulletin 5 modification will require a file upload, The old ages of uploading the xml file from admincp is gone.

However if uploading files causing an error with you, Don't make anything, I don't want to break your forum even for just 5 minutes :)

This bug is related to vBulletin not to me, I saw it fixed and I tested it and found it fixed, I don't know if alpha team have a different versions than what is released to the customers.

That's why I need to check the issue alive, Because it's a vBulletin bug WHICH vBulletin has fixed it early : http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-3112

That's most certainly help, I'll check that and update the package name today, Will keep you guys updated.

nhawk 09-22-2012 01:34 PM
OH, there was one other one I forgot to mention.

The function in phrase.php should be a static function.

nhawk 09-22-2012 02:01 PM
You're going to hate me by the time I'm done thinking of things. :D

I'd suggest not using direct mysql calls. Use the assertor. Most Nginx servers don't respond well to direct mysql queries from within vBulletin. That's true even with vB 4 where $vbulletin->db-> should be used.

Unfortunate that's not true, vBulletin doesn't have a custom database engine,There's no other way to make a query in MySQL without using mysql_query(), vBulletin use a normal mysql queries that has been advanced by making a custom classes like any other database classes.

he's talking about your install code when your inserting new tables within the database

$vbulletin->db->

Even within your installation code you should never use $vbulletin anymore in vBulletin 5 as $vbulletin is planned to be dropped very soon, So don't use it in any of your modifications in the long term :)

PHP Code:
$vbulletin->db = &vB::getDBAssertor()->getDBConnection();

In vB 5 you should be using...
PHP Code:
vB::getDbAssertor()->update('node', array('approved' => '0'), array('nodid' => $nid)); 
Not...
PHP Code:
mysql_query("UPDATE node SET approved = '0' WHERE nodeid = '$nid'"); 
You will run into problems on many Nginx servers using the later method.

The vb 4 equivalent was only mentioned because many Nginx servers have trouble if you don't use the $vbulletin->db->... and use a straight mysql query in a mod's code.

I know how to do that via vB Assertor "There's a full tutorial about it within the alpha team" It will be visible to the public when vB5 goes Gold and for sure there's some more great tutorials will be released to all of the developers as well.

That's technically not possible as I told you, vBulletin is also use mysql_query() function there's no innovative in vBulletin database class, There's no way ever to make a mysql query without using mysql_query() and that's how vBulletin database assertor make a query to database, It's use mysql_query() so how it will not make a problem with vBulletin and will make a problem with modifications.

In other hand, Since 5 minutes ago, To make things very clear with me I was discussing this with a vBulletin Developer, Which is said the same thing, He's never heard about any issues with nginx about that.

P.S : There's a benefit to use a direct straight mysql_query in your mods, If you are working in a huge project like vBFoster pro, Instead of upgrading the database structure every time vBulletin changing it, You have two options :

1- Build your own project database class. "Which is done for the vBFoster Pro version"
2- Use mysql_query() function directly.

So when vBulletin release a new updated code base, You will just need to change the template display code and phrases no more :)

You can safely use mysql_query() in any of your modification in vBulletin :up:

A new version has been released based on this suggestion, Hope this will really fix your problems as we don't have enough information about the problem, We are not experiencing these issues in our testing servers.

OK, I'll just stick to reporting what I find..

In the latest version I get these errors prior to the mod being installed...

this is a beta product as vb5 is in beta stage
and yes any mod you download on here is free, the only time you need to purchase something from a developer is if they bring out a professional version available
on "their" website which you will have to purchase

this is your own choice and only purchase something "if" it offers what your looking for that's not in the beta,free versions

mainly purchasing professional products will allow you to remove their copyright footer and give you extra options for the product

There's a Lite/Free version attached. The Pro version is optional and I doubt you'll get a discount as it's a third party developer.

That's correct, You can use this free version of our software in any vBulletin 5 forum however if you want to use vBFoster Pro or Enterprise version you'll have to purchase a new license in order to get it installed in your forum : https://www.vbfoster.com/buynow/
