I wouldn't know i don't use it. Are you sure you uploaded all the files?

Staxed · #13 06-17-2006, 05:48 AM

yup, i'm positive, i've even just reuploaded everything this morning to make sure. It didn't start happening until after I imported the product (though i'm not saying it's your product...it might have been any product...not sure since i can't disable it and try another one.)

rogersnm · #14 06-17-2006, 05:49 AM

Can you read the pm

charlub · #15 06-17-2006, 09:07 AM

I ahve fixed iresfire's problem and he gave me a donation (thank you) He had plugin manager reloaded. It managed to latch on during the upgrade and messed up the pluygin system just do me 1 think. Go to your forums, Go to admin cp, right click on Pruduct Manager, Open in new window, tell me what the link is. If it is advplugins.php then you have the same problem as him. Just upload the new plugin mananger for vb3.6 reloaded and then run this query:

Code:

ALTER TABLE `plugin` ADD `flag` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL

(if ou have a table prefix please add it before plugin` eg. so if your prefix was vb it would be `vbplugin`) and then manually add this plugin:

Quote:

Title: Plugin System Adjustments
Hook Location: admin_global
Execution order: 1
and then for contents add:

Quote:

if (preg_match('/plugin\.php$/', $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))
{
if (!$_REQUEST['do'] OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'modify' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'product')
{
exec_header_redirect('advplugins.php');
}
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'updateactive')
{
if (!function_exists('plugin_updateactive_handler'))
{
function plugin_updateactive_handler()
{
exec_header_redirect('advplugins.php');
}
}
ob_start('plugin_updateactive_handler');
}
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'edit' OR $_REQUEST['do'] == 'add')
{
if (!function_exists('plugin_edit_handler'))
{
function plugin_edit_handler($output)
{
global $vbphrase, $vbulletin;

$output = str_replace("<input type=\"reset\"", "<input type=\"submit\" class=\"button\" tabindex=\"1\" name=\"return\" value=\"$vbphrase[save] & $vbphrase[reload]\" accesskey=\"e\" />\n<input type=\"reset\"", $output);
return $output;
}
}
ob_start('plugin_edit_handler');
$vbulletin->nozip = true;
}
if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'update' AND $_REQUEST['return'])
{
if (!function_exists('plugin_update_handler'))
{
function plugin_update_handler($output)
{
global $_REQUEST;
return str_replace('plugin.php', 'plugin.php?do=edit&pluginid=' . $_REQUEST[pluginid], $output);
}
}
$vbulletin->nozip = true;
ob_start('plugin_update_handler');
}
}

Then the plugin system should work. So you can import the plugin manager reloaded xml properly so it has all the phrases.

This should be a stock feature!!! Very nice!

This is a fine (although simple) hack.

Kudos for making it though.
