Really appreciate that you came back to comment here. Thank you. I wish you the absolute best for your recovery. Yes, we care about the project. You and everyone that contributed really built something awesome and special. We want to help move it forward. With positivity. So what can we do?

Welcome back. Hope you're ok. Sorry that this is going on during your recovery. I know it's not funny and you definitely don't need any hecticness right now. So, what's the plan? Is there a succession plan? How do you make @datakick stay? Can we (someone / community) take over?

That's the future bro. Not there yet. So let's PAAAARRRTTTYYYY!!!! Like it's the END OF THE WORLD!!! 🥳🎉👯‍♀️👯‍♂️

Yeah sure. With a foundational / core member just saying bye. Fine indeed. Wtf... Oh and bytw, about Fernando... the real twist was actually that he was his own TWIN brother! That was sent from the future, who fathered himself and his twin - who was taken away and sent to the future. By his Aunt, Katerina - who - it turns out - is an ex agent of la SkyNet. Who after a 'bug' in her programming, discovered the error of her (its?) ways, and decided to go back to the past to 'groom' the Fernando twins. And sent one back to the future, to come back to the past, to complete the loop. Roll credits. With nice Terminator end music with a nice Latin feel (think Spanish guitars and 'serious' drum beat).

Look, this project needs "Senior" developers like @datakick and @Traumflug. It also needs leadership. Point is, with new PHP versions coming out more often these days, and other factors like security, you can unfortunately not just 'set and forget' a site anymore. Might work for a bit, but when your host insists that you need to upgrade to PHP 8 (for example) or if there is a serious security issue or bug, that's when you need people like @datakick to fix Core. As great as TB is, it's not yet perfect (don't know if any project is, but it's pretty close). And with the ground underneath its feet evolving (PHP), it needs to evolve also, just to keep standing - even if it doesn't add new features. Also, without leadership, let's not kid ourselves: this ship adrift, is eventually going to hit the rocks and take all our sites with it (including the massive Corporate level sites some of us have developed). So once again, how do we fix this? And what do you need to stay @datakick ? Like specifics? And what happened to you @Traumflug - and what do you need to come back? Should we create some sort of Community Leadership Panel? That gives direction, goals and guidance? With like a leader that people can vote in every year or term or something? Should we fork? Or take ownership of TB somehow (including Partnerships, Advertising and Patreon revenues)?

Upgraded to Bleeding Edge, and sorted, thanks 👍

Thanks @datakick, will do. Also thanks @zen

Do you know that you can show the error detail on the 500 page? Because normally it's just blank with 500 error. And it doesn't give any detail. If you don't know: go to your sites folder/config and edit defines.inc.php. Change: define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false); to define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true); This will then show you the error detail, which you can post here

Ah spoke to soon... Sorry @datakick, need your help again please. New error: Call to a member function attributes() on boolean line 1480 Highlighted: $xmlAttributes = $xml->attributes(); Call to a member function attributes() on boolean in file controllers/admin/AdminThemesController.php at line 1480 protected function installTheme($themeDir, $sandbox = false, $redirect = true) 1472: { 1473: if ($this->tabAccess['add'] && $this->tabAccess['delete'] && !_PS_MODE_DEMO_) { 1474: $targetDir = _PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.$themeDir; 1475: 1476: if ($sandbox) { 1477: // Load configuration of the theme package. 1478: $sandboxDir = $sandbox.'/'.$themeDir; 1479: $xml = Theme::loadDefaultConfig($sandboxDir); 1480: $xmlAttributes = $xml->attributes(); 1481: $targetDir = _PS_ALL_THEMES_DIR_.$xmlAttributes['directory'];

Excellent. This worked, thank you 😀

Ok so how do we "fix" this then? As there are many that want to keep this project alive and keep @datakick and others like him around. I don't know the first thing about starting an Open Source fork, but I'd be willing to contribute where I can. Both in skill as well as financially if possible. I can help with front-end coding, UI, design and some project management, ideas, coordination etc. We (all of us) could even work together to finance @datakick and others and give guidance, tasks, projects, goals etc.

Hi, apologies if my post appeared offensive. It was not my intention. Just you appeared part of the team. And I suppose with no leadership here, it's easy to assume that you played an active role. So the question is: Who will be maintaining TB, fixing bugs, sorting out issues, take it up to PHP 7.4,7.5, 8++? Helping us like Datakick and yourself used to? And moving the project forward like @datakick said?

Agh lol @Traumflug you're listed on the Staff page... After everything, now you're giving nonchalant replies...

Looking at the bottom of thirtybees.com one can read this: © thirty development llc As in most countries, one can look up limited-type companies in public registers: https://tnbear.tn.gov/Ecommerce/FilingDetail.aspx?CN=255033012188122038179169083159160212228131154070 (solve the captcha to see the entry) One can see the number of company members going up and down over the years. Before you ask: me is none of them. @Traumflug? Really is this your feedback? Come on, I think we all deserve better and some sort of comment and reassurance?

Wow... So what does that mean for Thirtybees? And does this answer the question of leadership? That there is none? If you're so frustrated, and it's your right of course, why don't you ask to take leadership, run the project then? What will we do as the community and mercants? Our shops run on this thing, with countless time and money spent. Not to mention that we believed in this thing... Anyone? We need leadership and feedback now more than ever... @Traumflug @lesley

WOW! This is a serious surprise and major loss to the TB project and to us, the community as a whole. With so much contribution I actually thought that you were part of the TB team... Paid that is. Can they not employ you, as you're pretty much invaluable? What does this mean in terms of the future of TB??? Where is the 'leadership' and other guys like @Traumflug @lesley? Surely we need some comment from them regarding this unfortunate development... Very concerning Maybe it's selfish on my part and maybe it's out of concern for the future of TB, but I hope you change your mind or that someone convinces you to stay...

Theme bombs out on accessing admin with Error 500, so I can't get to Performance screen. The only way I got to see what was going on was by activating Debug in defines.inc.php. Now after file update and page refresh, the error page reflects the update in the code that it displays and highlights (so not a caching thing where it still uses previous version).

Ummm. Not sure what this would achieve, but ok... Tried it and it doesn't work 😕 Any other ideas?

Hi @toplakd I really appreciate your effort in updating this theme - especially the Mobile Responsive element. The original theme is seriously lacking in this area, which is not what I expected. As during Live testing with a newly completed site, I discovered mobile layout issues especially on checkout and cart summary pages... I know, I know... I just assumed it would be Responsive - my bad (I normally use Panda), but hey, money doesn't go on trees unfortunately... So I thought I'd go for a 'quick win' and use Niara Community as it looked nice enough... The lack of 'working Responsive' on the checkout and cart summary pages is a serious drawback with TB. This will affect all new users coming to the platform and surprise them in a not so nice way... I now have to decide whether to rewrite certain sections manually (for responsive) or try to find a good free 1.6 responsive theme that works on latest TB + PHP... So my question is: How far are you with the theme? And is there a download link available? Or are the checkout and cart summary sections ready in terms of Responsive - and can you provide these files separately so long?

Hi there I know this is a PHP error, but hopefully you guys can provide a fix... I'm trying to install one of Leo Theme's templates: Game Gear https://www.leotheme.com/prestashop/themes/313-leo-gamegear.html But I'm getting the following 500 error: in file modules/leotempcp/leotempcp.php at line 1263 Cannot use string offset as an array in file modules/leotempcp/leotempcp.php at line 1263 1261: if ($directories) { 1262: foreach ($directories as $dir) { 1263: $output['skins'][basename($dir)]['name'] = $this->l(basename($dir)); 1264: if (file_exists($dir.'/icon.png')) { 1265: $output['skins'][basename($dir)]['icon'] = _PS_BASE_URL_._THEME_DIR_.'css/skins/'.basename($dir).'/icon.png'; 1266: } 1267: } 1268: } Can you please help? Got a feeling that line 1263 needs to be rewritten for latest PHP (I'm running 7.2+) Your help is appreciated in advance!

I've had cases where a module gets uploaded - but afterwards is not visible in the "not installed" filter. Checking the modules folder then reveals that the Zip file got copied there, but the extraction did not happen for some reason. Once the Zip file is extracted and the module's folder is created, the module will appear in the "not installed" filter (after page refresh) as expected. Also some module Zips like creating duplicate folders like modules/newmodule/newmodule/(contents). If this happens, copy the module's contents into the modules's first folder, like: modules/newmodule/(contents). Maybe not relevant here, just my own experience when I expected a module to appear after upload, but nothing shows to install.

Pretty cool, thanks @datakick Nice work on the module. Also, now that we're talking about modules. Compliments on your CONSEQS module. Enables me to tap into the power of Thirtybees. Exactly what I was looking for. No need for custom scripts or following tutorials and writing code for certain shop actions (like send mail when user registered). Amazing power and flexibility and nice Googly-UI. And that power for free. Compliments deserved 200%.

Yeah, if everybody used the same "naming convention" and stayed consistent, things would be a lot easier. Like SKU - everybody knows SKU but in TB/PS it's Reference... Even in TB there are inconsistencies like Brand some places and Manufacturer in other places etc.

Hi Regarding features: It's likely that you didn't specify or denote multiple features correctly in the CSV. Double check that you're using the right character or symbol to separate them like ; or | On the CSV Import screen -> after selecting Products to import -> check: "Multiple value separator". And see what symbol is specified here. Default could be ; Note that you can use different symbols here. Like if the field separator is ; then you can use the pipe symbol | to denote multiple values instead. Whatever you specify here, make sure that you use the same symbol for the values in the CSV. For example, in the CSV file, check that your features are declared like this under the Features column: fruit-colour: red; city: london; product: shirt; food: burger Regarding base / incl tax price: Double check that the columns are bound / matched correctly when you match the TB columns with those in your CSV Also, maybe leave "incl tax" column values blank, and rather create a new tax rule that will automatically add the tax to the price There is a column called Tax rules ID. Once you've created a Tax rule, it will have an ID and you can specify the ID here. In most cases the ID could be 1 So all you need here is a base price, tax rule and tax rule ID Regarding "Old Article number is missing" - I'm not sure what you're referring to? I'm familiar with ID and Reference (SKU)

Not sure what the guys will recommend. But while we wait, maybe you can try the following just for fun? Make a clone of the existing, broken site on your local environment and check that the copied site runs Using the copy of the site, delete the modules that are not working - either using Admin or if this doesn't work, delete the actual module folder under modules Use Core Updater and update the site to latest version or bleeding edge if you must In theory, it should detect the missing modules + add them back in Resulting in old db + new code base and working components / modules (Blog etc) Let us know how it goes
