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? 

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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".

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...
