It's sorted by product. then by hook. And no, you can't sort by hook only using this. Why, is that a problem?

[thincom2000]

When testing for conflicts between multiple products and plugins, it's ideal to sort by hook.

Ok, I'll implement that.

Hi

I would like to see an option "collapse all" and "expand all". Can you realize that, please?

*love this hack*

great mod!

installed!

The AdminCP is a neglected area. Being able to surf this area effectively in the forum is critical to running the forum smoothly.

Thanks again!

This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I'm not big on hacks that do more than I need, so this nice simple one is perfect!

One little comment, it works great, but I am getting an error email everytime I save a plugin:

                                       Invalid SQL:

                                       UPDATE session
                                       SET inforum = 0, inthread = 0, incalendar = 0, badlocation = 0
                                       WHERE sessionhash = '';

MySQL Error  :

Anyone else get these? Like I said, everything works just fine, I just get this error showing up in my mailbox.

[RedGTiVR6]

Anyone know if this will work with 3.7?

[Stoebi]

No, you get lot of white pages, if you update a plugin or set/unset hooks.

If i uncomment this peace of code in the file class_core.php

PHP Code:

            /*if (!headers_sent())
            {
                if (SAPI_NAME == 'cgi' OR SAPI_NAME == 'cgi-fcgi')
                {
                    header('Status: 503 Service Unavailable');
                }
                else
                {
                    header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable');
                }
            }*/ 


the hack works fine again. This code is new and is not really a solution to uncomment this. Hope another one can help us.
