TEMA:

Hello,
I use Breezing forms lite on a site where music students can take quizzes. The site is in Joomla 4.1 and the server on PHP8. I have used the workaround for the "@get_magic_quotes_gpc()" function being deprecated.
All functions are working except the download buttons. I can't download records (no PDF, no CSV and no XML). On a local test server I switched back to PHP 7.4 but that made no difference.
I have one test site (locally) that is still in Joomla 3.10. There I got an error when trying to download a PDF of a record: "0 chr(): Argument #1 ($codepoint) must be of type int, string given".
But there I could download a CSV and a XML report. This local test site that is in Joomla 3.10 is also on a server running PHP8.
I hope this can be solved since now I have to manually enter the students answers from the email that I get after they have submitted a form.
I should add that I have downloaded and installed the most recent version for Joomla 4 from the Crosstec site.
Greetings,

Hi,

please go to System->Global configuration->System->Debug system set to Yes.

Then go to System->Global configuration->Server->error reporting->set to Default.

Then test again, and tell me in which file this happend and in which line of code.

I will fix it and let you know how to do this

Please do this for both joomla 3, and joomla 4, and I will fix everything

Regards,
Tihana

Hi Tihana,

I followed you suggestions. Here is the result:

Case 1
Joomla 4.1; PHP 8; Breezing form lite: up to date

No visible errors but I can’t use any of the buttons in the subhead. So no download as PDF; CSV; XML, no upload of CSV; no setting of the record as Viewed; Exported or Archived and also the button to delete the record doesn’t do anything.

The form can be filled as normal and it gets send.

Case 2
Joomla 3.10; PHP 8; Breezing form lite: up to date

Sending a filled in form: the form gets send but the succes message doesn’t appear. In stead you get the following error:

0 chr(): Argument #1 ($codepoint) must be of type int, string given

The other buttons (exporting, importing, setting and deleting) work as expected.

I hope you can make something of this.

To add to my previous message: in both versions of Joomla I use the standard backend template

Hi,

1) case 1: could you please send me login information ,backend link and ftp access that I can check everything directly (for joomla 4)?

Use this tag:2) case 2 (for joomla 3):
please go to this path:on line 1507 you will see:replace this part of code with:
Let me know the result

Regards,
Tihana

I will respond later this week. For now I have to get to my music students.
