Odd buddy list message
 

Hi all, I've got a strange one, I have a user who has tried to look at his buddy list but he doesn't have anyone on it, he sees this messageI've searched plugins, phrases and templates but cannot find where this message is coming from, f it helps (and I doubt it) I have just moved from PHP 5.2.17 to PHP 5.3.x

If I know where this is coming from I can fix it but as far as i'm able to see it doesn't exist anywhere!???

I don't staff any vBulletin 3 forums, but was it an issue before the PHP upgrade?

No it wasn't, anyway, I've found the reason I get that rather than "you don't have any buddies" message, a plugin I coded which checked if the request was misc.php do=...etc had an IF{}ELSE{ in it where if the else was met it worked for all misc.php requests.

Now on to the problem, it seems that this:
Which works and always has is what's causing the error in that plugin, changing it for this:
causes a fault???

Are you sure it's always worked? The function print_standard_error() seems to have been coded to print that error message since at least 3.6.2 (that's the oldest version I have code handy for). Maybe you've just never triggered that error before.

Hi Kevin, you may be right about triggering the error however, now that i've changed the IF ELSE containment the print_standard_error works (or appears to) if i replace it with standard_error(fetch_error it gives errors??

Oh, I see what you meant. Well, I think you need to remove the single quotes from around the variable, like:

but I'm not sure if that's what was causing the fault.

ETA: actually I'm not sure if you need the call to fetch_error() in there since it looks like you're using a phrase that's already loaded.

Ill give that a try later, thanks :)

I cannot see any reason for the single quotes either. I was going to post the same thing but of course @Kh99 has a more quicker-er and sharper-er mind then mine.

Yeah right. I just happened to get there first this time.
