I attempted to install blankofthemonth using the module manager and got this fatal error...

Fatal error: Class blankofthemonthmodule: Cannot inherit from undefined class cmsmodulecontenttype in /usr/www/users/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx/modules/BlankOfTheMonth/BlankOfTheMonth.module.php on line 550

Additionally, the admin area has lost its stylesheet formatting.
Help!

There's an error in the blankofthemonth module. Just deinstall the module (and delete it's directory).

A bug report for it is already submitted:

Thanks Dee. I can't believe I wasn't able to find that other thread. I thought I searched properly...apparently I didn't.

How can I uninstall the module if I can't get into Extensions>Modules to do so?

An additional problem is that the blankoftheday directory is owned by the server and I can't delete it myself. Arrrrgh.

You can access Extensions -> Modules in the admin, even without the CSS.
Delete the directory afterwards from the same module list.

You're probably trying to delete the directory using ftp. To delete a directory owned by the webserver use some other form of admin access (ssh or some web-based admin's filemanager).

Or create a PHP script to delete it for you ofcourse

Dee, I can't get into Extensions>Modules. When I attempt to go there I get the fatal error

Fatal error: Class blankofthemonthmodule: Cannot inherit from undefined class cmsmodulecontenttype in /usr/www/users/cnymike/stjameschurch/modules/BlankOfTheMonth/BlankOfTheMonth.module.php on line 550

And I was trying to delete the BlankOfTheMonth directory using Telnet.

I know just enough to be dangerous, but without understanding exactly what it is I'm doing

I was able to contact my webhost who changed permissions for me and then I was able to delete the BlankOfTheMonth directory.

Things seem to be back to normal now. Thanks for your help.

Version 1.1 of the BOTM module seems to fix this problem. cnymike was kind enough to test it for me and reports no problems. Of course, it works for me--but doesn't it always work right for the programmer?
