Hi there

Joomla 3.5.1 is running on this site.

We decided to enable the Preview option within Phoca download 3.0.6 last week.

In general, component is working perfectly but when we activated the Preview feature and clicked on the preview button, the preview pop-up shows an error message, icluding a tell tale:

Code: Select all

400 - Category not found

With error reporting enabled we see

Code: Select all

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/abbeycollege/public_html/templates/acceler8/error.php on line 20

Line 20 in this file is:

Code: Select all

<h1><?php $config =& JFactory::getConfig(); echo $config->get( 'config.sitename' ); ?></h1>

We thought that this might be a PDL version issue and therefore upgraded to the latest PDL 3.1.1.

Sadly, following the upgrade, the component itself failed to work at all, presenting the same Strict Standards error message.

We have now disabled error reporting and have reverted back to 3.0.6 so that we can get component working again but of course the preview feature is still broken.

Can you advise where the problem might be?

The URL where you can observe the Preview issue is http://abbeycollege.cambs.sch.uk/index. ... s/policies

Hope you can help?

Hi, when you disable php error reporting or you just make simple quick fix:

from:

Code: Select all

<h1><?php $config =& JFactory::getConfig(); echo $config->get( 'config.sitename' ); ?></h1>

to:

Code: Select all

<h1><?php $config = JFactory::getConfig(); echo $config->get( 'config.sitename' ); ?></h1>

What happen in 3.1.1?

I think, this should have no influence on it, for me, when I see the page, it seems like some problem with URL, possible problems:

1) SEF - try to disable SEF
2) change the PDF name from: A Accessibility Plan May 2014.pdf to: A_Accessibility_Plan_May_2014.pdf - maybe the empty spaces can broke links on your website

Ok, the Stict Error has been fixed by editing the error.php file - thanks. I found the filename had double spaces in it. Preview is good now.

Next I need to find out what the issue is with 3.1.1!

Hi, so now, what is the problem remaining?

Remaining issue is, if I upgrade to 3.1.1, when I use the menu to invoke the component I get an error page. I'll test more and send you some details

Thx

I fear this may be a template issue but I cannot really prove it in a live site. I'll get back to you on it
