I run a gaming forum and i installed a video gallery on it (thanx for this wonderful plugin, it worked like charm)
But recently, an attack occured on the server. The old forum files were removed but i had the mysql database. So i installed a fresh copy of mybb 1.6.5 and merged it with the old forum database.
Then i installed xthreads and re-created my templates, custom thread fields, changed forum settings etc....but my video gallery forum show up as normal (the xthread templates are not being shown)
Also, i notice a strage page with bunch of PHP warning and other things when i change things on forum. The page says something about xthread_evalcache.php but it stays for a few seconds and goes away
I tried reactivating the plugin but still no help.
If you are sure that you've set the correct template prefix for that forum, maybe you need to check the plugin conflict (if there is other plugin installed to the new forum that not installed to the previous forum)? You can check the first post of XThreads release thread for that info.
Try deleting inc/xthreads_evalcache.php if you're getting an error related to it.
Make sure you've set the template prefix in your forum settings.
But your method of restoring isn't exactly correct. The MyBB merge system basically just does the minimum to get posts across. You'll generally lose all auxiliary data, including most plugin stuff. For one, the thread field data won't be copied over.
Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I thought to maybe mention it here.
I made a mistake editing a custom thread field and my forum had the dreaded "white page" effect where I could not access the public board areas and the ACP. This particular field was used on forumdisplay, index and Portal. Quite a devastating effect
I was able to fix it by editing the Custom field prefix in the DB; but I was still getting the error until I deleted the inc/xthreads_evalcache.php.
Not a bug - fail on my part not editing the field correctly. I just thought I would mention it if anyone else was to have a similar scenario.

I encountered something similar once when I was trying to have multivalued "fielded field" by using the multi-line textbox to split the text into needed parts (using a comma as the delimiter for the field's values). Ended up seeing the functions I was calling and bam, the forum blanked out. I edited the display item parsing in the database to remove the troublesome functions, but it didn't get rid of the problem. So I reverted my forum back to what I had it a day before that incident occurred.
