I have putted all the files in upload into the wwwroot/core and later on deleted all the files(0 overwrites) and putted the files in wwwroot itself(again 0 overwrites) both times I tried to add the product by uploading the product-tournament2008.xml file in product area in admincp.

Then I got this error both times:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

Fatal error: Call to a member function hide_errors() on a non-object in C:\domains\myhostname.org\wwwroot\core\includes\ad minfunctions_product.php(862) : eval()'d code on line 1

Any advice on what to do? BTW I did not put the upload folder in those maps only the maps/items inside the upload folder (so wwwroot/upload or wwwroot/core/upload was never created.

When I go back to the admincp the mod is halfway loaded, it only shows stuff like *[tll_group]* and *[tll_general]* but all the pages are empty/not working. Also it doesn't show up in products to edit/uninstal it.

Edit: Hided my hostname if need it pm me

There's an option buried in the options for VB4.2.2 to enable PHP compatibility mode. Do that and everything works again. You can check out the post on the vbulletin.com forum for more info.

You need to upload the files to forum directory, where all the rest of your vbulletin folders are

Installing finally worked but now I have another huge problem. When I set server to php 5.4 every page in competition tab gives me at least 5 to 10 php errors. Setting back to 5.3 fixed those but now a new error occurs.

This only happens once a account has played a match or at least reported a match(haven't tried with a team game yet to see if other 4 accounts also get affected). The following error then suddenly appears on the top of the screen on every single page.

Warning: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\domains\domain.org\wwwroot\includes\class_boots trap.php(1227) : eval()'d code on line 62

The things I tried on google (edit config.php with an extra line and delete unserialize from class bootstrap both didn't work.

This is not the only thing that happens, suddenly lots of things/texts start to overlap. On my home page for the forums I have 2 plugins for shoutbox and donate bar. With a fresh account or not logged in everything is fine. But with a account that played 1 match and gets that php error they like combine or something and overlap.

Also when you try to challenge a player again the pop up box becomes overlapped. This is not related to the template since when I change to default 1 provided by vbulletin self the same thing happens.

So I am pretty sure it is all related to this modification since problems start as soon you have played a match.

I use the lite version for now by the way, will purchase premium soon if errors can get fixed.
