2.3.1 - Flagging plugin breaks Admin CP

So I recently installed Vanilla 2.3.1, installed a custom theme, and enabled a few plugins. One important plugin I'd like on the forums is Flagging, which for some odd reason, makes it impossible to use the Admin CP, so I disabled it through the config files. While it does break the Admin CP, the forums continue to work just fine.

Is there any quick fixes I can do to allow this plugin to be enabled and be able to use the Admin CP at the same time? If not, this thread will serve as a bug report.

    Please tell us what "break Admin CP" means in detail: blank page, error message etc.

    A blank page might be a signal for a PHP error. Check server error logs or (not if on production server!) change "show errors" to 1 in /index.php
    The "Something went wrong" page will give you more detailed information when you add $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; to the /conf/config.php

    There are some themes which try to replace views and do it all wrong. It's always worth trying if the error persists while using the default theme.

  • Yes it was the something went wrong page, as you can see:

    I'll try what you said and debug the situation, I'll edit the post if I can't handle it myself.

  • So I looked into it and I'm guessing it's something wrong with my database, and I have no idea how I should fix this issue in phpMyAdmin:

    Fatal Error in PHP.trigger_error();

    Expression #1 of SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause and contains nonaggregated column 'databasenamehere.fl.ForeignID' which is not functionally dependent on columns in GROUP BY clause; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by

    The technical answer is that you have to disable then "ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY" model of your database: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/sql-mode.html#sqlmode_only_full_group_by

    That could be done by running the query SET sql_mode = ''; but after the database server is restarted, I guess you would face the same error again.

    Additionally you should change that in the mysql.ini. You might have to ask your hosting provider.

  • I did what you said but it didn't work, however what you said was pretty much right. PhpMyAdmin had been setting it by default, and once I figured that out, it works like a charm. Thanks for all of the help!
