If you downloaded this and have a file named gameroomBasic.swf, it should be named gameroom.swf, sorry about that, it's fixed in the archive now.

I would open the file /includes/class_dm.php in a text editor that supports line numbers (google 'notepad2' if you don't have one) and go to line 515 and see what's up... I have a different vb version but for me line 515 is an opening comment so I'd look to the code immediately above it as the cause of the issue.

[ggsinc]

function verify($fieldname, &$value, $doverify = true)
{
if (isset($this->validfields["$fieldname"]))
{
$field =& $this->validfields["$fieldname"];

// clean the value according to its type
$value = $this->registry->input->clean($value, $field[VF_TYPE]);

if ($doverify AND isset($field[VF_CODE]))
{
if ($field[VF_CODE] === VF_METHOD)
{
if (isset($field[VF_METHODNAME]))
{
return $this->{$field[VF_METHODNAME]}($value);
}
else
{
return $this->{'verify_' . $fieldname}($value);
}
}
else
{
$lamdafunction = create_function('&$data, &$dm', $field[VF_CODE]);
return $lamdafunction($value, $this);
}
}
else
{
return true;
}
}
else
{
trigger_error("Field <em>$fieldname</em> is not defined in <em>\$validfields</em> in class <strong>" . get_class($this) . "</strong>", E_USER_ERROR);
return false;

The red bit is line 515, the line that is offending vBulletin's add user feature.

In my test forum, I just deleted the line entirely so that the code doesn't produce an error, but just returns false. And that worked. However, I don't speak php and I could have just deleted something vital. Can anyone translate php into newbie for me and tell me what that line means?

[BirdOPrey5]

All you did was remove the error message and let the script continue working...
The trigger_error () function obviously displays the error message passed to it and I'd guess terminates the script, you could confirm what it does by searching for it and looking at/posting the definition (code associated with the function)... it may not be in this file, it may be in a file called in an include statement, probably at the top of this file, such as global.php.

But if things seem to work on your test forum even though I'm sure it is not recommended I'd probably be fine with just keeping the line commented out for now.

thanks, working nicely on vb 4.0.4.

I had to uninstall on my 4.0.4.

Although it appeared to operate normally, when I went to ADMINCP and manually added a user to forums, it generated numerous errors. The errors were caused by this mod.

I unintalled this mod and the errors went away and was able to manually add new users.

I reported this issue to Andrew (I think in his forums) and he sent me the name of a plugin to turn off that fixed it.

That being said, I can't argue with the decision to stop using a major product like this that gets virtually no support.

What's the plugin?

[kylek]

Yes, do you remember the plugin? Is doing the same thing when I manually add a member. What I have been doing is just disabling the gameroom and then when finished adding a member reenable the gameroom, this allows you to add a member without uninstalling the gameroom until this gets fixed.

Is there a way to remove the Gameroom tab from the Navbar?

edit: I think I resolved this by turning off the appropriate plugin (Gameroom menu). Not sure if this will impact other features, but it's working so far.
