Phoca Forum

Just upgraded from J3.5.1 to J3.6.0 (running on PHP 7.0.6). Also updated Phoca Download to V3.1.2

Install went OK - no issues. Now when I try to add a new file or access an existing file in Admin backend, it results in a blank (white) page.

There are no error messages at all in the console. If I "view-source", all I see is the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
Joomla.submitbutton = function(task){
if (task != 'phocadownloadfile.cancel' && document.id('jform_catid').value == '') {
alert('Invalid form - Category was not selected');
} else if (task == 'phocadownloadfile.cancel' || document.formvalidator.isValid(document.id('adminForm'))) {

Any idea what might be going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi, maybe it can somehow be connected to this problem:

https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/11137
https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/11097

There is existing patch for this problem. When you install the following component:
https://github.com/joomla-extensions/pa ... r/releases (version 2.0.1), you can install the patch with help of this component, the patch ID is 11097

Please test it with this patch and let me know.

Thanks for the reply Jan. Downloaded and installed the Joomla Patch component but unfortunately at the moment: The GitHub API rate limit has been reached for this resource, could not connect to GitHub for updated data. The rate limit will reset at 2016-07-22 01:24:32 when trying to fetch data.

Have tried a few times but rate limit constantly exceeded. I'll try again later and let you know the outcome.

Hi, hmmm, this feature (rate limit) I don't know, when I test Joomla! patches, I never get such limit

Couldn't get the Joomla Patch Tester to work despite trying repeatedly over the course of past few days. Constant error: "The GitHub API rate limit has been reached for this resource, could not connect to GitHub for updated data". My Username/Password is correct and even tried a GitHub API key to connect but still rate limit problem? No idea why....???

In any event, I struck other problems with PHP 7.0.6. Kunena forum (latest stable V 4.0.11) is also not working with PHP 7.0.6 which is the V7 installed on the server I am using. I'm not able to select another sub-version of V7 - I can only roll back to PHP 5.6 or lower. There were multiple errors with Kunena - primarily regarding categories and access.

So, to see what would happen, I reverted back to PHP V5.6.21. Now everything is working again, including Phocadownload! Blank page has gone and files are able to be selected/uploaded again. Kunena is also working correctly again.

Here is a thread relating to the Kunena & PHP 7.0.6 issues: https://github.com/Kunena/Kunena-Forum/issues/3934

Perhaps the same PHP 7.0.6 issue is/was causing the problem with Phocadownload?

For the moment, I think I'll stick with PHP 5.6.....

Hi, Hmmm, testing on PHP 7 without any problem.

Blank page mostly means a php error, are you able to see the errorLog on your server for the exact error message. This could help a lot to detect the problem.

Thank you, Jan

EDIT:
But it seems the bug was in PHP and was solved in php 7.0.7:
