Gift Voucher - Checkout Ends with Error: "Call to undefined method TablePhocacartCoupon::getErrorMsg()". Stack trace: #0

[tschumla]

Hi, my name is Michael from Germany.

I tried since a couple of days, to get the "Gift-Voucher" buying running.

I watched your Video for Setting Up a Product as a Gift-Voucher.

Everything works (Selecting the Voucher Amount, and put the Voucher in the Basket).

But if i try to checkout the Voucher i get an Error Message:

Call to undefined method TablePhocacartCoupon::getErrorMsg()

In the /administrator/logs/everything.php i found this Text:

2024-01-09T04:49:47+00:00 CRITICAL 84.149.132.26 error Uncaught Throwable of type Error thrown with message "Call to undefined method TablePhocacartCoupon::getErrorMsg()".

Please Help me...

I have found the Error by debugging the Code:

the field valid_from in the table: #_phocacart_coupons must be pre-filled!!!

This code starts about line 2136 ( I have edited the file, so, it is not the exact line number now) in the File:

[your-domain]/administrator/components/com_phocacart/libraries/order/order.php

about line 2136 with fixed code:

Code: Select all

// Fill the field valid_from with the actual date
// because this field has no: allow null
// and no default value

$d['valid_from'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); 

But there is a second Error, if this field is not prefilled.

The Exception (if the field is empty) calls ->getErrorMsg() (I think, this is deprecated in php 8.2)

Kind Regards

Michael

Hi, thank you for the info, I will fix it in next version. BTW if you are on test page, you can test the version 5 Beta (it should even work on Joomla 4)

If you are able, just change the: getErrorMsg to: getError. This will be even fixed in next version.

BTW instead of:

$d['valid_from'] = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');
try to use:

$d['valid_from'] = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s');

Thank you, Jan

Hey, I would like to continue this conversation as the bug is still present. I am on 4.0.11 and in this file order.php - some parts still use getErrorMsg -> I replaced them with: getError and it works but there is another issue - when you complete the checkout - you get an error message:

Field 'valid_from' doesn't have a default value

But there is no more valid_from anywhere in the file (or other files). How to proceed here?
