Badnavs... Help needed!

[Heather MacLeod]

Hello all,
My co-owner and I were working on our site that we created yesterday and today we continued uploading, installing and activating different modules. All was working flawlessly with no errors after activation. At one point when we tried leaving the Grotto to check something and return back in we kept getting badnavs.
We both have second admin accounts and tried fixing each others' badnavs but the problem still persists. We can access the site and go to the user editor directly from the top link but we can not access the Superuser Grotto to go to the module manager to deactivate/uninstall the modules we added today to see if that resolves the problem…
My co-owner tried to manually remove the modules we thought might be the problem from the phpMyAdmin but we still keep getting the badnavs.
Any ideas so that we don’t have to tear the whole thing down and start over??
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!!

Sincerely yours,

Heather MacLeod

Look through the actual php code of the modules that were recently uploaded. Pay most attention to any administrative ones. You will need to find a line that says something like

Code:

case "superuser":

or

Code:

case "everyheader":

or

Code:

case "everyfooter":

or

Code:

case "everyhit":

or the same lines with if () instead of case. What you want to do is to disable the functionality of this code so you can get into the grotto. To do that, change the part within quotes to anything other than what it is now. For instance, if you find "superuser", change it to "xsuperuser". This is going to stop the branch of code from executing and will allow you to enter the grotto once you've hit the right module with this modification. Be sure to undo it in all modules other than the one that's causing trouble. Then uninstall the troublesome one. You are then encouraged to report the problem in the correct thread for the faulting module.
