On an Opencart 3.0.3.3 server I keep running into an issue when I use the constant DIR_CATALOG. It keeps throwing:
Code: Select all
Warning: Use of undefined constant DIR_CATALOG - assumed 'DIR_CATALOG' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP)
when ever I refer to it. I checked config.php and it is clearly defined. Any one else run into this? This server someone else built. If it helps I also saw this on a version 3.0.3.9 test server I built from scratch.
On my server using DIR_TEMPLATE, instead of DIR_CATALOG, and adjusting relevant paths is a functional work around.
Any one Know why this would be?

Defined in both config.php?

You need to provide some more details for more help here. The DIR_CATALOG is only defined in the admin/config.php, hence it can only be used in the admin controllers, not in frontend controllers.

Perhaps a PHP version change at a guess?

Thank you guys for the tips. @nonnedelectari , I located it in two config.php files though one appears to be a backup. Noted that the DIR_TEMPLATE has a different definition in config.php from the front end version of the define I'm using, as @JNeuhoff explained. I haven't located the file that defines constants that are in scope for front end controllers yet. Any one know where that is?

The frontend
config.php file is located in your OpenCart root folder, and it should not have the DIR_CATALOG in there, the latter is only declared in the
admin/config.php.
As said, if you need help, then you have to provide some more details.

If you use a constant in admin side, it needs to be defined in the admin config.
if you use a constant in the catalog side, it needs to be defined in the catalog config.
if you use a constant in the system side, it needs to be defined in both.

Ah! Nice! We don't even have a catalog/config.php. That would explain it. When I get time I'll try and make one.

There is no catalog/config.php in OpenCart!
There is a config.php in the OpenCart root folder, and another one in the admin folder.
