XF 1.4 Cannot uninstall addon

[m1ne]

Hey all.

So I cannot remove my last remaining plugin from *cough*********cough*.
I've removed the code event listeners (all of them I think) and removed the folder in /library - what can I do now?
Gonna tag @HWS as you helped a lot in that thread, and @Xon as you're super smart and like helping

Thanks!

If you've removed the /library/******* folder and your forum still works, everything should be fine.

If your forum is broken, you've missed some hidden event listeners. In that case I would restore /library/******* and run Waindigos add-on for removing all hidden ******* listeners.

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/remove-custom-event-listeners-by-waindigo.4053/

After that, delete /library/******* again.

Oh, I did use Waindigo's addon. Forum seems to be fine.
Last thing to do is remove the addon from the addon list, how can I do that?

This should also be done before removing /library/*******. Just select the add-on controls and choose "Uninstall".

 

[m1ne]

Yep, that's exactly the way I did it. With or without the library files, the uninstall fails. Something about connecting to ******* server.

Is it possible that some event listeners are hidden too? There's no mention of ******* on the page, but maybe they are elsewhere?

If you've removed the files, it won't work because XenForo requires the uninstall callback be present to uninstall.

You'll have to either:

• Restore the files for that add-on
• Enable debug mode, and edit the add-on to remove the uninstall callback
• Remove the uninstall callback by editing the add-on directly in the database

You mean the uninstallation code here?

This is the same issue Mike Creuzer had too, I think because his licence was revoked or had expired. With the files present, I still cannot uninstall because it makes a callback to his server and stops me.

Yes. Remove the values from the uninstallation code boxes and hit the save button.

You may have to manually search through your database tables,
ie; xf_admin_log , xf_admin_template_log ; xf_template ; xf_template_history ; xf_template_modification_log ..

Time consuming yes , a pain in the but yes .... but it works..

Thanks, it's uninstalling now. I guess I'll have to find any leftovers in the DB myself.

Will do, thanks.

This was very helpful, this one add-on wouldn't let me uninstall and taking out that uninstaller code from the box worked perfectly!

Thanks Liam
