Bug strange php error at top of thread (only on first page of the thread)

[Jeremy]

this is at the very top of the page on one page of one thread:

When you hard refresh, does it go away?

If not, edit (forum)/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php and find

$charge = array_keys(unserialize($post['chargecontent']));

directly above that line, put

var_dump($post['chargecontent']); exit;

then reload the thread again - the page will be blank with some output at the top.

copy and paste here that output, and then remove the line you just added. we will continue there.

Sorry, I'm still a bit new to vBulletin. What's a hard refresh?

 

[Darkwaltz4]

Depends on your browser, but usually ctrl+shift+r

 

[Jeremy]

Oh, a hard refresh like that. My bad. XD (Command+Shift+R for Mac)

Anyway, this is what it said:

string(110) "a:1:{s:32:"1dd9afc6e42bdb02c2d7528a5c1a87d2";a:2:{i:0;s:38:"mod note: sorry, glitch, had to delete";i:1;d:5;}}"

Hm, that looks okay. Can you put the line back, only this time without the exit; at the end. Should show the the normal page with some output at the top - paste all of that output here.

That's interesting. How many charge tags appear on the first page of that thread?

 

[Jeremy]

There was one. I deleted it because I figured it might be that. But the error stayed.

it was charge = 5 with "._." inside it

test:
[charge=5]._.[/charge]

lol, well that worked here. anyway, to fix:

find in (forum)/dbtech/credits/credits_core.php file:

    function cache_charge()
    {    //build charge info for later
        global $post, $vbulletin, $chargeown, $chargelook;

        if ($post['chargecontent'])
        {    //charge content saved
            $charge = array_keys(unserialize($post['chargecontent']));
            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $post['userid'])  $chargeown = ( $chargeown ? array_merge($chargeown, $charge) : $charge  );
            else $chargelook = ( $chargelook ? array_merge($chargelook, $charge) : $charge );
        }
    }

replace with

    function cache_charge()
    {    //build charge info for later
        global $post, $vbulletin, $chargeown, $chargelook;

        if ($post['chargecontent'] AND is_array($content = unserialize($post['chargecontent'])))
        {    //charge content saved
            $charge = array_keys($content);//sometime wasnt array
            if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] == $post['userid']) $chargeown = ( $chargeown ? array_merge($chargeown, $charge) : $charge );
            else $chargelook = ( $chargelook ? array_merge($chargelook, $charge) : $charge );
        }
    }

 

[Jeremy]

OK, I'll try that in a minute. So is this a permanent fix?

And will you include the fix in the file for everyone on the next version? (otherwise I would lose it when uploading the new one?)

 

[Darkwaltz4]

yes to both

 

[Jeremy]

ok it worked

thanks
