I just found a bug:
in modcp when super moderator go to view user's profile he gets this error:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/modcp/user.php(348) : eval()'d code on line 29

this error appear when viewing this page:
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/modcp/user.php?do=viewuser&u=xxx
were xxx is the user id

or by going - in modcp - Users -> Search for Users -> then type user name -> [View Profile] and there it is.

hope you could fix that ASAP.

thanks -Cyp for all your great work

This has nothing with the ModCP.

Try disabling your installed hacks one by one to find which one causes errors.

Super Jinni · #85 05-05-2009, 04:29 AM

I did, they I disabled them all one by one and it was this hack.
I even disabled them all and enabled only this hack and got the error. if I disable it everything is normal and no error appears.

I'm sure it's from this hack because I installed this hack in my test forum and the error occurred after I installed it, when I disable it the error is gone.
I even installed it in another fresh forum in my localhost with no other hack beside it (only this hack installed in the fresh forum)

maybe this hack has nothing to do with the ModCP, but it definitely has something to do with useradmin_edit_start hook.
the line 348 in the user.php file is:

PHP Code:


			
    ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('useradmin_edit_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;

and you are using that hook in this mod.

NOTE: this error appears only if I look for another user than me (the admin I mean)
if I view my profile as an admin via modcp nothing appears and everything is normal. but if I view another users profile, the error is there.

does anyone else has this error in this way? can anyone confirm please?

Thanks tipoboy.

for your work around, I'm afraid if I disable the cyb - log in to user account EU - useradmin_edit_start the mod won't work properly.

although I don't use this mod much, but it's really great one. and now I have it disabled till Cybernetec come up with a fix if possible.

i had this same error with the mod panel, and i disabled the plugin and it doesnt affct the product, i can still log into users accounts with no problems

A Few problems I'm running into.

1 - If I login to an account it will give me a redirect loop error. (I'm Using VBSEO) Pressing back page will then have me log into the user account.

2 - While using the user account, if I log into the admincp I will then be logged in the site as my name with the option of going back to the admin account.

3 - Lastly, trying to go back to the admin account will have the same error as #1.
