I wish I would have been smart and made a DB backup mine went to fritz

All you need to do to workaround a broken plugin is to edit forums/includes/config.php and add this code immediate after the first line saying

<?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

This will disable hooks and plugins until removed, so you should be back to the default vBulletin code.

You can then Uninstall.

great...i really liked it

[ang2el]

how about this feature using in CMPS index page rather than forum page?

This didn't work for me and now I'm really desperate to get my forum back up. The instructions for this plugin are badly explained, and the plugin's achievements themselves are really badly explained. I'm really beginning to regret ever installing this. Can anyone please help, I'm desperate...


EDIT: Ok, I got help with this, and uninstalled the entire thing after my database was down for a looong time.

But if anyone's reading this and considering installing this plugin, I'd say avoid it like the plague.

This will only disable the hooks / plugin system.
This will not disable direct file edits you have made.

- There is nothing wrong with the instructions. Before you download the hack to install there is a list of items needed to install.

Tested on:
vBulletin 3.6
PhotoPost vBGallery v2.0

If you do not have those installed it will not work.

• remove the code added in the 1 file edit
• uninstall the XML product.

If you need help PM me.

I had a problem with it, its messed up the board, but i'll look back into it.

[IAWBody]

Every time I install this I get:

Warning: Unknown(./includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required './includes/vbgallery/forumhome_complete.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home/4/4/9/1828/1828/public_html/forum/index.php(485) : eval()'d code on line 1

[exilera]

Looks like you didn't upload all the mod files.

[R.Solutions]

My board doesnt work properly when i have this, i click a link in the admin cp and it goes to the index.php

I get a database error when i put

require_once(CWD . '/includes/functions_gallery_store.php');

in the init.php file.

If its not there, then its fine.

Okay got it, I read the instructions, and still noothing, the same thing, messed up.
