Double Posts Problem!

[BULLDOG]

Running vB 4.2.1, we are currently experiencing:

1) Pop up notice asking if you want to navigate away or stay on the page when submiting a post

2) Choosing staying on the page submits the post...but TWO times!

How do we fix this, please?

Hmmm...I recently had this problem myself ... It was a javascript conflict somewhere ...

What have you changed or installed recently that has javascript ...

The owner installed some patches recently:

A security issue has been found that affects all versions of vBulletin including 3.x, 4.x and 5.x. We have released security patches to account for this vulnerability. This includes patches for vBulletin 3.8.7, vBulletin 4.2.2 and all versions of vBulletin 5. The patch is also applied to vBulletin 5.1.0 RC1. It is imperative that you apply these patches as soon as possible.

Due to functionality changes, the minimum PHP version for the patch is 5.2.0. This represents an increase for vBulletin 3. Alternatively customers can install the JSON functions separately via http://pecl.php.net/package/json in which case it will work with any compatible PHP version that their particular version of vBulletin supports. You will need to collaborate with your hosting provider or systems administrator to apply the changes to PHP.

All patches can be found at http://members.vbulletin.com/patches.php
This includes:
vBulletin 5.0.5 PL1
vBulletin 4.2.2 PL1
vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3
vBulletin 3.8.7 MAPI

You can find DIFF Patches for other versions here:

It may be from a mod, try disabling them all and see if the issue still persists.

Open your includes/config.php file and below<?php add this line:

PHP Code:

 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


So it looks like this:

PHP Code:

<?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
/*=================================================  =====================*\

Can this be located in the ACP?

[ozzy47]

No, it should be done in the config file, to ensure all plugins are off.

But if you really must try it, ACP --> Settings --> Options --> Plugin/Hook System and set Enable Plugin/Hook System to NO

[BULLDOG]

Thanks! I've disabled the hook system via the ACP... let's hope it works.

... and just got the "Do you want to navigate away from this page" notice again!

[ozzy47]

Then it is still possible there could be a plugin firing, as doing it from the ACP don't always disable everything.

What version of PHP are you running?

Perhaps you can try the fix described here, http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/...#action_144001

You will have to be logged in to vB.com in order to see it.

I am having the same issue the last few days!!!

I havent installed any new mods/plugins the last few months and still get the same problem

By the way only happens on Quick Reply.. Not sure why..

[BULLDOG]

Okay, we've now disabled hooks both in the ACP and in the includes/config.php file as per post # 4...

BUT now the "Helpful Answers" are not showing anymore... they ARE enabled in the ACP Settings / Options, though..

How do we get the "Helpful Answers" back, please?
