Data Manager error in vb 4.2.0

[jamoss]

- I have a universal login: website->vbull
- Just upgraded to vb 4.2.0
- When I try to create a new user (new reg), I get this error when trying to initialize the data manager:
Fatal error: Please check the $bitfields array in the vB_DataManager_User class definition - $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions is not a valid bitfield.
in includes/class_dm.php on line 220

- BUT! When the exact same function is called to SAVE an existing user's record, it works.

I have used tools.php to fix the bitfields, I have run the upgrade script completely. Still happening. Any ideas?

have you edited that php file in any way in the also try replacing it with a fresh unedited one

[jamoss]

No, didn't edit it. And I will upload..although I don't know why one function would call it and it would work, and the other would call it and it wouldn't work.

The function it's trying to call is:
datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_CP);

hope this helps you work out the problem from line 187 to 220

Thanks! It looks like it does have to do with bitfields that are either set or not set, triggering this error.

I got away with commenting out line #224 in class_dm.php and it works. That's a kluge, but at least it will let me move forward and complete registrations until I figure out a real fix.
