Template Issues

Hmmm...I don't see how you can get that error with the default vB.

To troubleshoot this, first reupload all the original vB non-image files (except install.php). Make sure you upload these in ASCII format and overwrite the ones on the server. Also be sure to upload the admincp files to whichever directory you have set in your config.php file. Then run 'Suspect File Versions' in Diagnostics to make sure you have all the original files for your version and that none show 'File does not contain expected contents':

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions

[Note: In some cases you may also need to remove any of the listed .xml files in the includes/xml directory.]

Next, disable all plugins.

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

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Then if you still have this problem, create a new style and choose no parent style. This will force it to use the default templates. Finally empty your browser cache, close all browser windows then try again. Make sure you change to the new style and view your forums with it. Do you have the same problem?

Ok, so I followed your instructions including reseting IE to the default settings. Now all the errors mentioned before are gone with the expection of this one which is throw whenever the forum default page is pulled up without being logged in and also after I log in...

Throws object expected:

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

And this error which is thrown on the login page of the admin cp:
Throws object expected:
fetch_object('vb_login_password').onkeypress = caps_check;

I think the majority of my issues were related to my IE advanced settings being changed.

I do not see how you can get that error is you followed all the instructions. What's the URL?

**gphillips** · Fri 8 Aug '08, 7:59am

After looking a little closer on the index page of the admincp, I see the following script includes:

<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/yui/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/yui/connection/connection-min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../clientscript/vbulletin_global.js"></script>

I don't have any of these js files in the specified directories...maybe the rest of my issues are related to missing js files?

Right now I'm working on development which is an internal ip address so it cannot be accessed externally...

Make sure you download the 'Entire package' anmd upload all the files again.

You can also try setting this:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Use Remote YUI -> Yes

But that may not work in your situation.

Ok, I did as you suggested and found those three script files and copied them to the correct location.

Now my control panel works great in terms of the errors I mentioned which included not being able to open/close the various menu panels.

The next error I'm experiencing is when I open Styles & Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options > Edit Template. I get the following:

</select><input type="button" class="button" value="Go" onclick="Sdo(this.form.styleEdit_4.options[this.form.styleEdit_4.selectedIndex].value, 4);" />

Which JS file contains the Sdo function?

I still do not see how you can get that error with the default vB. What does Suspect Files show?

You are missing lots of vB files. You need to reupload all the original vB files.

**gphillips** · Fri 8 Aug '08, 8:21am

This is quite strange, I downloaded the lastest ver & patch release...I'll try again...

Thanks for your fast response time...

Ok, so that fixed all my issues, I think there was a security issue was encountered when I unzipped the folder and then copied it to my local directory, for some reason some of the files didn't get copied.

Now I have a new error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2:

Please ignore last post, I forgot to change
config['Database']['force_sql_mode'] = false; to
config['Database']['force_sql_mode'] = true;

**Steve Machol** · Fri 8 Aug '08, 8:34am

Your server is reporting an unusually long user agent:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022; InfoPath.2)

I don't know why it is doing that or how to stop it. What browser are you using?

**gphillips** · Fri 8 Aug '08, 11:03am

I'm using IE 7 for my browser...
