Phoca download module - upgrade issue

[Ross.Rawlins]

I have recently had to upgrade a Joomla site to the latest because the server was only going to support php 7.2+. Previously the downloads module was working perfectly but after the upgrade the module has now caused any page that it is on to crash with the error 'Fatal Error 0 Using $this when not in object context'. When I looked further it seems to be the content plugin not working well with he module. The version I have of the module is 3.0.0 and I am not sure if there is a new version that resolves this or if this is a known issue. I dont want to have to link each file so if there is a work around to this that would be awesome.

Hi,
from which Module are you talking?
Which PHP version are you currently using?
Which Joomla! version are you currently using?
Which Phoca Component version are you currently using?
Set "Error Reporting = Development" to get a "Call Stack" message and post this message.

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,

From Joomla 2.x, I've upgraded to 3.5.1.
I also upgraded Phoca download to the latest 3.1.9.

The result:
Front end component shows the following errors;

1146, Table 'deszr_data.#__phocadownload_styles' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT a.filename as filename, a.type as type, a.menulink as menulink FROM #__phocadownload_styles AS a WHERE a.published = 1 ORDER BY a.type, a.ordering ASC

Backend;
Following pages opens but the layout is messed up;

Files, Category

While the following pages return errors;

Styles (CSS)
1146 Table 'deszr_data.#__phocadownload_styles' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT a.id, a.filename, a.type FROM #__phocadownload_styles AS a

PHP Version 5.6.40

I'd appreciate any help!

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi @sushismb,

From Joomla 2.x, I've upgraded to 3.5.1.

I think, you made wrong migration from Joomla 2.5 to Joomla 3.X

https://www.phoca.cz/documents/50-phoca ... o-joomla-3

Current Version of Joomla is: 3.9.16 You are missing many bug & security releases.

PHP Version 5.6.40

PHP Version is outdated and depreciated. Needed: PHP 7.3
Template up to date?
All other extensions up to date?

Kind regards
Christine
