Today's birthday = ARRAY ... helpp

[King Kovifor]

Add this to your config:

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_PLUGINS', true); 


Does the problem still persist?

[snake-boy]

Disabled all plugins/products, same result in all styles.

I added:

define('DISABLE_PLUGINS', true);

to config, and same result. I get this on all styles:



The section in the forumhome template that seems relevant to this looks like this:

PHP Code:

<!-- today's birthdays -->
<tbody>
    <tr>
        <td class="thead" colspan="2">
            <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_birthdays')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
            $vbphrase[todays_birthdays]
        </td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays]">
    <tr>
        <td class="alt2"><a href="calendar.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getday&amp;day=$today&amp;sb=1"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/birthday.gif" alt="$vbphrase[view_birthdays]" border="0" /></a></td>
        <td class="alt1" width="100%"><div class="smallfont">$birthdays</div></td>
    </tr>
</tbody>
<!-- end today's birthdays --> 


I know virtually nothing about php, but it seems to be the problem is wherever the "$birthdays" variable is referring to for data. But I've no clue how to fix that...??

KK provided the wrong code, you should try:

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

We got this the other week, it seemed to upset vbseo as well - I think its a bug somewhere in vb but it went away again so I never bothered to investigate further.

[Dismounted]

Cache, maybe? I think birthdays are stored in the datastore.

[snake-boy]

Ok, so how would I clear this cache to repair the problem? I've run all cache updating tools from the update counters page just in case. Suffice to say, no change.

--------------- Added [DATE]1210520040[/DATE] at [TIME]1210520040[/TIME] ---------------

Tried deleting the data in the datastore/birthdaycache table. No change.

I set my test users date of birth to today and noticed that his data WAS added to the datastore/birthdaycache table. But on the forum I still see "ARRAY", regardless.

Help?

Try reuploading your vBulletin files.

Oops. Thanks for clearifying that one. Shows how much I use it.

I believe index.php would handle this. But try uploading all stock vBulletin files. Non-image files should not have to be uploaded.

i reuploaded index file as well as others.. But is still same..

And on groups page instead of group owner's nickname [ARG:3 UNDEFINED] appears in every pages.. any idea ?
