No right column for payment modules in admin

[hollowgram]

For some reason the right column (install/remove/edit and values part) is missing and it only affects the Payment modules section.

I've replaced the modules.php in the admin folder with a default one but that has done nothing.

Any ideas what is causing this odd behavior and how to fix it? No error is being printed (display_errors is finally on).

Seems like quite an original problem as I haven't come across this anywhere else. Perhaps it's fixable via phpMyAdmin? Everything seems to be fine.

This is what I see in my log:

Have you been 'messing about' with the check/money order payment files?

Only the language files, and that causes a blank screen on the last checkout if I modify anything except the title.

I've replaced all the moneyorder.php files with their originals but still no right column :P

Enable error messages in Admin:
catalog/youradmin/includes/application_top.php (in your case, store/manager/includes/application_top.php)

 //  error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_DEPRECATED);

Have you added any custom modules not included with osCmax by default? Or duplicated a module and not removed the original?

You cannot have any modules in any of the module folders or subfolders that are not working properly or just hanging around. Delete/remove any custom modules that you have added to the modules folders (make a backup of them first).

[hollowgram]

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

That is what I see in the file as the value set.

Would it be OK to delete all the modules not in use, even the ones that come with osCMax by default or will this mess up the program?

I've actually managed to work around the right column problem and am now pretty ready to hand this over to the client, I'd want the payment module screen to work properly though as adding extra payment modules in the future is likely.

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~'E_DEPRECATED');

That is what I see in the file as the value set.

To support Michael's comments, I too just had this problem today and found this thread in the hope of a fix. I had edited /ext/modules/payment/paypal/express.php and /includes/modules/payment/paypal_express.php and left copies of the originals in each directory named express_orig.php and paypal_express_orig.php - so that I had a clean copy to restore if needed. This caused the exact problem described - no install/edit column in admin --> payment modules. I followed Michael's always excellent advice, removed the files and hey presto back to square one. Thanks guys!
