Upgrade from 1.6 error - no CP access
Development and Programming
I’m getting an error related to an extension after an upgrade from 1.6 It’s for Cocoholic’s tab forward extension, which I don’t think I can live without :(
If I go to the CP I get this error message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /www/pmh/public_html/system/extensions/ext.tab_forward.php on line 156
I’m attaching his extension.
If I remove his extension I set a system message that the extension is missing, so I can’t get into the CP even without it.
This is a third-party extension so I’ve moved it down to the appropriate forum. I would recommend disabling the extension and contacting Cocoaholic to ask him about it.
I also edited out your username and system directory, for security reasons. =)
Lisa, I can’t disable it, I can’t get into the CP. Do you have any advice?
thanks for editing the path
Ah, I misunderstood, I thought you could still get in.
Put this in your config file:
$conf['allow_extensions'] = "n";It doesn’t uninstall the extensions but stops EE from reading them so you can get in and disable Tab Forward.
Whew! thanks Lisa, that’s just what I needed.
Ah it’s messy.
If the tab forward file is in my extensions folder, I can’t open the extensions manager - I get the message that I posted.
If I remove tab forward from the server and then enable extensions, I get locked out of the CP again.
It’s not as urgent now, it’s the weekend so no one is working in the CP - but I had to keep extensions enabled because I have some critical things there.
I’m going to PM Cocoaholic, just wanted to lay it all out here.
I had an old version of Tab Forward, I’ve upgraded to the latest version and all is well again. Thanks Lisa and Cocoaholic!
