After the last Update the Gallery doesn't work anymore.
We receiving the following error:

Code: Select all

0 - Call to undefined method PhocaGalleryUtils::getInfo()

PhocaGallery Version: 4.4.0
Joomla Version: 3.9.24

Hi,

- which PHP Version?
- which Template?

Would be useful to enable debug mode and error reporting in Joomla! Configuration.
Error reporting to Maxium. Debug Settings: Yes. To get more information where this problem occurs. So called "Call Stack"

Kind regards
Christine

Hi Christine,

we using PHP 7.3.11.
The Templated ist designed by my self.
Error reporting says nothing, just debugging.

Hi,

thanks for debugging, that's what I meant with "Call Stack".

I'm not sure, but do you use template override?

JROOT/templates/your template/html/com_phocagallery/category/default.php

Kind regards
Christine

Hi,
yes, from the screenshot it seems like the error comes from template override:

templates/eulenhof/com_phocagallery/category/default.php on line 203

So this is much more a question on template developer or in case of customized code on somehow who did the override in the template

To solve it, try to comment the default.php line 203

I found this post in Italian:

https://blog.dangerx82.it/joomla/308-jo ... tinfo.html

He seems to suggest changing:

Code: Select all

 echo PhocaGalleryUtils :: getInfo ();

to

Code: Select all

 echo PhocaGalleryUtils::getExtInfo(); 

Doing that displayed something [previously just an error message] but not the photos. He mentions this but I can't understand this part about the "override files":

The solution to the frontend display problem is now very simple. The old override files are deleted and a new override of the same view is generated with the desired change.

What are these "override files" and how does one make a "new override?"

SOLUTION: I received this message from the person in Italy explaining about the overrides:

Hello Grover! Override is a method to just override a view in a component in Joomla!. You can see it on the folder of your template below the subfolder html. It is more easy doing it if from the backend of Joomla: go on the menu Extensions > Template > Template list and after selected your template, go to the create override section, select the component and finally the view you want override. Automatically Joomla will create a copy of the files of the view in the folder templates/your_template/html/component_name/view_name. This is very usefull for customize your site, but not in that case: The problem with phocadownload was that these files in the html folder of my template call a method of Phocadownload that not exists because they are an older version of the component. Deleting these files can solve the problem.

It worked perfectly. I had to delete overrides for both "categories view" and "category view" after changing

Code: Select all

echo PhocaGalleryUtils :: getInfo ();

as per a previous post.

Ok

[gpeter73]

Yes, it was the Template Override.
Thanks for the advice.

[Jan]

Ok.
