Admin CP Form

Nope

Looking through the vB admin cp files, maybe I should be writting the values out to a cookie upon submit. Then do various verification checks in the do=updatemanager part of the code with a cookie read?

Change

PHP Code:

print_table_footer(3, '', '', 0); 


To

PHP Code:

print_table_footer(); 


You don't need to specify default values.

Change

PHP Code:

print_submit_row($vbphrase['save'], $vbphrase['reset']); 


To

PHP Code:

print_submit_row(); 


Also here..

PHP Code:

  if (!$vbulletin->GPC['uploads_location']) 


I think that might work but to be safe use

PHP Code:

if(empty //... 


Otherwise I can seem much reason wrong with your script. Maybe you have made an error somewhere else in the page?

<font color="darkgreen">Where can I find documentation on clean_array_gpc or clean_gpc or GPC? php.net doesnt have these so I assume they are vB specific but there in nothing on vb.org about it but members code.

Edit: found it at vb.com and still no help from it. Telling me GPC is a wrapper doesnt help the situation at all. Why is vB so damn freaking limited on its technical documentation.</font>

Well modifications aren't exactly supported so

If you haven't already you can try

http://members.vbulletin.com/api/
vBulletin 3.6 Code Documentation

Other just check the source code, if you know PHP it should be quite easy to understand whats going on.

Did you get anywhere even with the changes I suggested?

That API link should come in handy. Thanks

Part of the issue is that I am learning PH and vB code stuff at the same time.

I dont think its hard at all just lacking information. I have got as far as I have by going over all the code in vB and trying to decipher it. So far so good. I have custom pages added and tempaltes etc but its so much easier with templates/php code but to go on php alone is harder for me.

I originally started with this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=83122 but it doesnt have anything on validating the data and whats the proper safe logic.

This is taking way too long for something that I think is simple. I just need to know how its done so I can integrate that into my code.

PHP Code:

print_cp_blah(blah, ...);
print_submit_row(blah);
//...

if(empty($vbulletin->GPC['uploads_location'])  
{
  //Do validation before entering into db table
} 


I did get it to dump once with a value but I dont know what was the issue as it didnt retain and other changes I made may be diff now.

What is the diff of "...clean_array_gpc('r'" and "...clean_array_gpc('p'"?
Its not in the docs.

I ended up recoding the code block from scratch. I clean_array_gpc'd in each if/elseif conditional along with the vars set by the GPC call. Seems to work now. Guess it was some code error that I just couldnt track down.

I did find that
die('<pre>'.print_r($vbulletin->GPC, true).'</pre>');
will give me the output of whats in the array for "debugging" which helped too.

Thanks for all your time and assistance
