Managed to lock myself out from backend when defaulting new theme

[Raventhal]

Hi all!

Newbie el grande, so have patience plz

Just locked myself out from the forum admin backend by uploading a .xml theme for 4.x:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method IPS\Theme\class_core_admin_global::js_general() in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/system/Theme/Theme.php(627) : eval()'d code on line 1097

The only thing I did was to make it default. I had some issues when upload it too, system said like "EX2"...

How can I go back? Get in? The forum itself works for members and visitors..I just cannot access the backend.

Please advice.

SQL. Change your theme back to one that works? 

[Raventhal]

Can you please tell me how?
Why does the backend go down due to a theme change?

[MADMAN32395]

Improper theme can cause acp issues compared to frontend. When I get on the computer I could tell you were.

Do you have another admin who can get in and change your skin?

[MADMAN32395]

core_members     acp_skin   

 

SELECT * FROM core_themes;  see which one shows your working theme's 'set_id' number. pick the working one, then change your users acp_skin  under core_members.

Thanks guys!
No, just me...and no one can get in.

MADMAN, I'm not qualified enough to understand what you mean, but I'll take it I should enter something inside the mysql admin.

Can you get into the ACP with a direct url into it?

[Raventhal]

I dont even know my IP nor my phpmyadmin login url....any clues? Im at ipbhost.com.

[Greg W]

Try getting directly into the ACP with a direct url

It is likely to be www.yoursitename.com/admin/

If you can, change the default theme back to one that works

[Raventhal]

Oh, thats the page with the error. 
Can you please tell me how to access the phpmyadmin?

[Greg W]

I don't know that myself since the cpanel isnt used on IPS hosted sites now

I would suggest at this stage that you raise a support ticket by logging into the clients area of the IPS site

https://www.invisionpower.com/clients/index.php

 

[Raventhal]

Okey, I've already created a ticket yesterday, no answer yet....but what about accessing mysql from outside?

[Raventhal]

Solution: Support at Invisionpower changed back to standard theme as default.

[Raventhal]

Problem now is that I cannot any longer find where to select another theme as default

Also, when uploading themes I get this error: " EX2: Something went wrong. Please try again".

[Raventhal]

I had to upgrade to latest version, this made the error go away, however, it's not possible to select the new theme as "default". Maybe I should delete the default theme and see what happens..zzz...
