5.13 Admin panel broken with vbPortal 2 integration(FIXED)
 

My Photopost installation is using integration with vbPortal 2 along with my vbulletin 2.2. After upgrading from 4.6 to 5.12/13 I cannot access the admin area properly. What has happened is the admin page is adding the header HTML from vbPortal and placing it before the HTML frame set for the admin area. The result is the browser ignoring the frameset because it cannot be rendered. In addition, the side bar (adm-misc.php?admact=sidemenu) and every page to be displayed in the right frame are adding the header from the site. I can navigate directly to adm-misc.php?admact=sidemenu, and the links will just open a new window, but it's a hassle to view the source and find the direct URL to the side menu whenever I forget it.

How can I get the admin pages to stop using vbportal's header? Thanks

Thats quite interesting as the admin area does not load the vb2 or vb3 headers.

There is no call whatsoever in any of the admin files to printheader function. adm-index.php loads the page

You can try this test. First make sure all your uploaded files are NEW and try again.

Then if still persists try in adm-inc.php right before this

require "pp-inc.php";

add this

$skip_header="yes";

That's what I thought when I looked through the code too. I tried both things with no luck.

The admin view code is displayed at the very end of the HTML after the header template from vbPortal2. That's where it dies, as the footer template isn't inserted.

I do not understand how it can be calling your vbportal header

In adm-inc.php try placing this

$printheader="no";

Still no luck. Is there anything else I can show you or give you access to?

It's not the end of the world if it's not working right, I can manage.

well a url and admin login as well as ftp PM me

adding

$skip_exheader="yes";

solves you admin thing

Perfect. Thanks!
