Using the Quickstart download: JB_Focus2_Quickstart_J341_v1.3.2.zip

From the "Home" page, click "Work" on the main menu, then click on any of the six work modules. Following is what you get displayed in the module. Similar results in other places, too.

I love what I do and I do what I love ...

Hi There,

By default error reporting on WAMP is too high so its flagging up notices

Notices don't actually mean errors in many cases and don't affect the functioning of the scripts

So two options - turn down error reporting via the Joomla global configuration or reduce the error reporting level in WAMP

On a live server if its properly configured it won't show these notices

Cheers
Paul

I should also mention the majority of these notices are coming from Joomla itself and not the template / extensions

For more information on error reporting please check out these links

www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/warnings/
docs.joomlabamboo.com/joomla-basics/how-to-enable-error-reporting-in-joomla-25

The screenshots are for Joomla 2.5 but the content is still relevant

Cheers
Paul

You said: "Notices don't actually mean errors in many cases and don't affect the functioning of the scripts"

Regardless, it's an error that php has to handle. That's additional unnecessary -- and unwanted -- overhead.

Are you saying the bug (issue?) is in Joomla, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the template and/or extensions?

If that's the case, then where do I report it to Joomla support so it can be fixed?

If the template and/or extensions are creating the errors (notices), they should be fixed instead of just ignored.

Hi Ted,

Just so we are looking at the same version can you update to the latest template version

Please backup and then install via the Joomla installer

Cheers
Paul

1) I renamed folder "wamp" to "wampPROD" (to save my production work).

2) I created folder "wamp"

3) I installed the latest download of wampserver:
wampserver2.5-Apache-2.4.9-Mysql-5.6.17-php5.5.12-64b

4) I created folder ldf2 and db of the same name via phpadmin

5) I unzipped the latest Focus2 Quickstart:
"JB_Focus2_Quickstart_J341_v1.3.2.zip"

6) I proceeded through all the Joomla installation steps

7) I renamed folder installation to installationRENAMED (instead of deleting it, just in case I needed to re-install)

8) I navigated to localhost/ldf2

9) I clicked on "Home", then "Work", then on "Project #4". I received the same traceback as I documented above.

Here's what the Focus2 Template Overview page says (in administrator mode):

"Version: 1.3.2 | ZGF v4 1.3 | Release Date: March 30 2015"

10) I downloaded the latest Focus2 package into a "download" folder:

"JB_Focus2_J3+_v1.3.3.zip"

Note that it says "v1.3.3". The QuickStart said "v1.3.2".

11) I unzipped the package into a sub-folder of my downloads folder

12) I installed it via "Extension package file" -- "Install from directory"

13) Now the template overview showed:
"Version: 1.3.1 | Release Date: April 13 2015"

Note: The release date is more current, but the version number is downgraded. Also, there is no reference to "ZGF v4 1.3".

14) I still get the same traceback.

There are several inconsistencies here. At the very least, the "Quickstart" should contain the most recent version of the template.

If I have done something wrong, please enlighten me.

Thanks,

TED

Hi Ted,

So sorry for the trouble and the confusion.

I have this fixed locally and am just waiting on confirmation of another fix and it will be released.

At that time the template and quickstart will be updated.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience.
Anthony
