Bug Blank Pages Now

[iMaverick]

I'm sorry, but I uploaded the new files (right after it released), went to import the product, and since then haven't gotten anything but blank, white pages.

Since then I've deleted all the vBulletin files and reuploaded them.

I've also restarted httpd and mysqld.

Please help me *pathetic begging face*

Please add the following code to config.php and then run the upgrade:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Once you have uploaded all the files to their correct location and ran the upgrade to 5.4.0 you can remove that line again and everything should be ok

I added that, everything was fine for awhile, I imported the product and now it's all back to white again.

I added the words again, but it doesn't seem to have solved it.

 

[Fillip H.]

The reason why everything was fine when that was in place was that it hard disabled every product.

Could you please disable vBShout and PM me FTP and AdminCP information so that I may look into this tomorrow? It's currenly 6am here

Hey, I got the product working fine now.

Well, I can't seem to figure out how to deploy it in numerous places through the AdminCP (like forum, forumdisplay, etc.)

Is this what the "Sticky" option is for? Or do we have to do this manually now (and if that is the case, should we expect the AdminCP option to be available in the near future)?

Hope you slept well!

To put vBShout in a custom location, do the following:


Step 1: AdminCP -> DBTech - vBShout-> Instance Management -> [Edit].

Step 2: Change the Auto-Display Shoutbox setting to Disabled.

Step 3: Write down the the Varname setting. For the default shoutbox, it's instance1. The rest of this guide will assume you replace instance1 with the actual Varname if it is different.

Step 4: Enter the Style Manager and add either {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1} (vB4) or {$show[vbshout_instance1]} (vB3) to the templates you wish the shoutbox to appear in.


Follow these steps as described and you will have total control over the position of the Shoutbox.
Please note that some locations may not work as intended on vBulletin 3.8, and also note that it is not designed to go in the Forum Blocks side-bar (vBulletin 4).

Hope that helps

Sorry to be stupid, but if I have absolutely no ability to look at all these templates and figure out what is going on where.

If I wanted to employ the Shoutbox on forum, forumdisplay, newthread, showthread, and private where should I put {vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}?

Thank you so much for helping me out!

Why was the functionality in the last one removed?

EDIT: And I want to deploy the shoutbox in the same place as the "After Navbar" option.

 

[Fillip H.]

No functionality was removed from the last one, you would still face the exact same problem you're facing now

In the following templates, place it after {vb:raw navbar}:

• FORUMHOME
• FORUMDISPLAY
• SHOWTHREAD
• newthread
• USERCP_SHELL
  • In this template, put <vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'private'">{vb:raw show.vbshout_instance1}</vb:if> instead.

In the last one I put all those into a box and hit "Save" and it added this to those places for me.

I'm sorry to be such a pain, but now I'm running into the problem I had before. When I go to "Home", the "Forum" tab remains the one highlighted in the navbar.

Thank you so much for your help! This is why I love dealing with small companies/groups who are actually personally interested in helping their customers!!

Only if you wanted it in that exact location - if you wanted it somewhere else in those templates you needed to do that AND place a variable. In addition, if you have 2 or more shoutboxes you would not be able to individually control their placement in the last version - they'd always be lumped together

I'll look into the tab thing

Fixed for 5.4.2
