#478 – PHP notice in econa field plugin

We get these kind of PHP notices in our server logs:

[Mon Oct 07 02:38:45.626632 2019] [lsapi:notice] [pid 31653:tid 140190030993152] [client 34.244.54.206:60378] [host www.******.nl] Backend log: PHP Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$slug in /home/******/domains******.nl/public_html/plugins/fields/econa/econa.php on line 258\n

Kind regards,

Hi,

Can you please provide more details? Whats your Joomla version? Are you using Econa with articles or with a different extension? Are there any custom views?
Just tested with the latest Joomla version and I don't get this notice in the tag or category view.

Regards

We use the latest version of Joomla. PHP 7.2.22.
We use the econa custom field plugin. The custom fiels are 'article' fileds.
We use a custom view. We retrieve the article custom fields and then creat a view to output the fields info. One of those fields is the Econa field that contaions URL and settings/versions.

We use the econa article field plugin like this on multiple sites.

I did notice the error says: 'Backend log'. Does that mean it is a notice produced by the backend of Joomla?

I think this is indeed a backend notice.

When we open an article with a custom field tab (fieldgroup) that also contains the econa custom field we see these errors:

The first three are econa.php related. The last three I don't know. Maybe they are related?

The issue has been resolved. If you can't wait until the next update here is the fix:
Edit file plugins/fields/econa/econa.php and replace line 258 with the following code:

					if (isset($item->slug))
					{
						$slug = $item->slug;
					}
					elseif (isset($item->alias) && $item->alias)
					{
						$slug = $item->alias . ':' . $item->id;
					}
					else
					{
						$slug = $item->id;
					}
					$image->link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($slug, $item->catid, $item->language));

Regards

Thanks!
