Disabled hooks, forum down

[Sir Osis of Liver]

2.1.4 uninstalled all mods, that was fine, then disabled hooks with repair_settings.  Can get into ACP, everything else is 'Sorry, this section isn't available at this time.'  Two pages of hooks in forum maintenance are shown as not found.

Seems that only board index is affected, I can get into topics via search.

Yeah, open bug with that function...
https://github.com/SimpleMachines/tools/issues/64

However, in 2.1.4, there were improvements to the hook maintenance screen in the ACP.

If you can get there, you can delete them manually in the ACP.

If not, you'll need to do it in phpmyadmin.

Not sure that's what caused the problem.  After disabling hooks with repair_settings board index would not load with above error.  Everything else seemed to work.  Maintenance displayed two pages of hooks, all not found.  Only option was to delete them.  Does core code require hooks?  Restored a database backup, so can't play with it.

If you have un-installed all mods, then delete all hooks.

There are no hooks needed in core code.  Hooks exist for mods.

In 2.1, you can do all that in the ACP.

That's what I did, uninstalled all mods and disabled hooks with repair_settings.  Result was board index would not load.  There may be a problem in the database, but I don't have access.  We've been unable to install a portal.  The 1.1.21 install was running SimplePortal when upgrade was run, it may have left something behind.

Please read prior posts.

Repair_settings.php has a bug. 

In 2.1, you must delete using the ACP...

...unless/until the bug in repair_settings.php is fixed.

Oh, ok, misunderstood your post.  The screenshot on github is what I saw after disabling hooks.  That's kind of a major bug, I'm surprised it got into a released version of repair_settings.  How does it break board index?

[shawnb61]

I believe this issue is many, many years old.  It mainly affects 2.0.  In 2.1, you can fix hooks in ACP, so the function is unnecessary.

I think it's very low priority, mainly since nobody else has ever noticed or reported the bug...  Up until today, AFAICT, only me.

You're talking about a different problem than what we experienced.  Disabling avatars with repair_settings prevented board index from loading, it rendered the forum useless, had to restore a database backup to fix it.  That's not a minor issue with ACP.
