Hi,

Just noticed today that we have some warnings displayed on the frontend on our sites by ATS. Saw it on a 404, not on regular pages.

After a quick look, this comes from the router which displays a warning when it can't find a menu item linking to Categories (more on that later).

The warning should only be logged unless site debugging is enabled but it's actually displayed. Reason is that the test is:

 if (defined('JDEBUG'))
{
Factory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage($errorMessage, 'warning');
}

The correct test would be just if (JDEBUG) or if (defined('JDEBUG') && JDEBUG) to be on the safe side. You do have a Helper to detect debug mode but it's not always used.

Cheers

Hi Davide

 

Thanks for that. About "... it can't find a menu item linking to Categories (more on that later).": The reason this is happening is that the router is looking for a menu link going to the all categories ATS page.

However in doing so, it searches for view=Categories.

Problem is, that menu item does exist but was created before you changed FoF to use capitalized views and folders names. So Joomla has the menu item with "...&view=categories".

 

Is this only option to dive into Joomla menu items db table and manually fix? or was it supposed to be fixed during an update but for some reason mine was not updated?

cheers

Hi

No, this is at weeblr.com, we do not have multiple languages.

Hi

 

All. Like I said, there never was only one single language installed on that site, en-GB. 100% of menu items are "All" (verified with the search tools). Same for the categories themselves as well as all content articles.

It's indeed likely not the category case causing an issue as the problem remains if I replace

private static $atsHandleViews = [
'Categories', 'Latest', 'My', 'Mies', 'NewTicket', 'Ticket', 'Tickets',
];

with

private static $atsHandleViews = [
'Categories', 'Latest', 'My', 'Mies', 'NewTicket', 'Ticket', 'Tickets',
'categories', 'latest', 'my', 'mies', 'newTicket', 'ticket', 'tickets',
];

 

Cheers

 

Hi

Does not change anything. The query in the menu has not changed actually after re-creating it, still showing the exact same query:

 

It's happening the same on the staging server so I'll try and debug the code to see why the error is triggered, time-permitting. As long as you come up with a release that hides the message, I can live with that.

Cheers

Hi again,

 

At first I only "fixed" the main "Categories" menu link and that had no effect. After the previous post, I reviewed all other ATS menu items and indeed some of them were "damaged" in that their "Menu item type" field was empty - guess it did not match anymore one of the newest menu types.

I re-selected the menu type and saved, doing this for all menu items. All menu items are fixed now, however the warning is still displayed on 404 pages.

Of course, this does not happen when sh404SEF is disabled as the Joomla 404 error page does not display anything.

Best regards

 

Hi

 

Thanks, yes, I did the change in router.php to hide the message.

 

Best regards
