Notice: Undefined variable: tableprefix.....

[whitetigergrowl]

I've posted this on Vbulletin.org with no response. Maybe someone here can help me. While this is for BBmessenger, I installed it fine....expect for this undefined variable.

Notice: Undefined variable: tableprefix in /home/-----/public_html/bbmessenger/sources/boardmodule/vb3.inc.php on line 35

Here is a copy and paste from the vb3.inc.php from that section in question:

// Load the database settings into $VAR;

function boardmodule_import_db_settings()

{

require_once ("../includes/config.php");

global $VAR;

$VAR["db_host"] = $servername;

$VAR["db_username"] = $dbusername;

$VAR["db_password"] = $dbpassword;

$VAR["db_name"] = $dbname;

$VAR["db_tblprefix"] = $tableprefix;

$VAR["db_persistant"] = $usepconnect;


^^ Any ideas whats how to fix this?! My VB3 and php are up to date. And my forums are installed in the root and there is no prefix. I checked my config file and thats set right too. As well everything is chmoded correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure why he asked you to post your config.php file. This error is from a hack you've installed. The best place to get help with this is in the appropriate forum and thread for this hack.

[whitetigergrowl]

Been there, tried that. The support is all but dead. As well, it's only the one error after install. I'm just trying to nail it down. It appears to be in the php somewhere in the vb3.inc.php file. Which I posted already. Just not sure if the variable is wrong or what. To me it appears right...but I'm still a newb somewhat.

Isnt it just because $tableprefix = ";

Doesnt it need to be $tableprefix = "your db name"; ? or something like that

[Icheb]

Change

//$tableprefix = '';

to

$tableprefix = '';

and try again.

[Floris]

Yes, it has to be defined. Even if it is empty.

[whitetigergrowl]

Yeah. The error is weird. Everything seems to be installed right, except that I can't figure out whats causing the error and where the problem lies.

[Icheb]

Did you try my suggested fix for config.php ?

[whitetigergrowl]

Stupid stupid me. Yep, that worked! Thanks for pointing out that rather obvious overlook of mine. Again, thanks!
