(3.6 Beta 2) Database error with /admincp/

[ThorstenA]

After upgrading to 3.6 Beta 2 I do not have access to admincp/ I just get an database error without the query error.

It could be possible that the error occured after activating the "welcomepm uninstaller" from a welcomepm plugin from vbulletin.org

What should I do now?

[ThorstenA]

Code from the welcome plugin uninstaller:

if (VB_AREA == 'AdminCP')
{
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase WHERE (varname='welcomepm' AND phrasetypeid=4000) OR (varname='welcomepm' AND phrasetypeid=3000) OR (varname='setting_welcomepmuserid_desc' AND phrasetypeid=5000) OR (varname='setting_welcomepmuserid_title' AND phrasetypeid=5000)");
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "setting WHERE varname='welcomepmuserid'");
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "plugin WHERE devkey LIKE 'welcomepm_%'");
	require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions.php');
	$vbulletin->options = build_options();
	require_once(DIR . '/includes/adminfunctions_language.php');
	build_language();
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "plugin WHERE devkey = 'welcomepm_installer'");
	vBulletinHook::build_datastore($vbulletin->db);
}

Another question: How can I deactivate plugin/hook system without using admincp? Changing the value in setting table for "plugin" did not work.

To disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under the <?php line:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

This will disable all hooks and allow you to log in properly with no hooks running.

Thanks very much for fast response.

If I disable your way, I do get errors regarding the installed phpadsnew system.

I managed to go to the admincp panel by editing the functions.php (removing the fetch_userinfo hook).

It was the "uninstall welcome pm" plugin.

Problem solved

Could I ask how you solved this as my forum is completely screwed because of this

If I DISABLE_HOOKS I can get in fine - but as soon as I re-enable them it falls over again

I know its the welcome PM uninstaller plugin but I've deleted that plugin and still get the same error

It's really some time ago and I do not remember exactly. But I first DISABLE_HOOKS and then deactivated / deleted the product. Be sure you deactivate / delete the plugin where the code in post #2 of this thread is.
