OpenCart Community

Hi there,


I am having a problem with my admin dashboard being loaded correctly. Every link such as "Save", "Insert", "Delete", etc. that is used either has turned white (against the white background) or lost its functionality.

Another symptom to the problem is that "autocomplete" has apparently stopped working in the "Featured module". I require autocomplete to add products to the features module, so it is an obstacle I cannot afford to overlook.


my error message is "2011-10-15 5:05:29 - PHP Notice: Error: Could not load library json! in /home/dwai/public_html/store/system/engine/loader.php on line 23"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

I am using OpenCart Version 1.5.1.3

It appears you have updated from a previous version ?

In 1.5.1.3 the <span> attribute was removed from buttons

A new implementation of json was added

You need to upload the admin files again (apart from config.php).

Alright, but I had installed the import export module, it will break that module if I do that..

Is there a specific file I could change instead.

You cant partially upgrade to 1.5.1.3

It will cause no end of problems.

There was an issue with the button css. The button background jpg used an underscore and the image file name used a dash. Or visa versa can't remember but it may now be fixed with 1.5.3.1 don't know since I fixed it myself by uploading another copy of the jpg with the correct name.

where can I go to figure out exactly what picture needs its name changed?

Thanks

If you want to fix temporarly this problem, you can copy the file ./system/library/json.php from a previous version of opencart (e.g. form v.1.5.1.2)

Alright i'll do that.

Is that decision potentially to affect my store's stability? Or is it going to cause fundamental functions to not work?

Thanks.

I uploaded json.php from 1.5.1.2 to my current, 1.5.1.3 setup and it did not fix my issue


Here's what it looks like.

By the way, no I did not do any upgrading of any kind. I started with a vanilla 1.5.1.3 install mid - October.

The error message you provided in your first post, suggests that you may have upgraded.

So, if you didn't upgrade, you have an incompatible 3rd party module that is causing your problem. The json functions were changed in 1.5.1.3, which broke any module that was built on (or for) an earlier version that used json.

I see. Well. I have two mods.

1. Import/Export (JNeuhoff)
2. Restricted Access (Qphoria)

Both plugins were specifically made for the 1.5.1.3 release. Any suggestions?

p.s. - If anything, my guess is that between to the two possibilities, it wasn't a Qphoria issue.

Well, I wouldn't come to that conclusion without any evidence. Compared to JNeuhoff, Qphoria is a noob!

yer, JNeuhoff is a Senior around here and has been giving us the Import/Export module since version 0.7. That was a long time ago, before most people knew about OpenCart, even before Adam and Eve were born
Fido-X is also a Senior around here

Try removing the mods one by one to isolate you problem

After I take my foot out of my mouth, i'll get right on that.

Sorry Fido-X

No worries.

It might also be an idea to check any vQmod file that may have come with either of those packages, to see if the cause of your problem lies there.

To disable a vQmod (or to hide a controller), just add an underscore to the end of the filename's extension (eg., .xml_ or .php_), or change the extension from .xml (or .php) to .bak.

Okay.

I have disabled both mods (vqmod scripts), and confirmed that they are no longer working.

I still however get the font issues. Below is another example of the problem. There should be dark Login text, but instead it is white.

Last picture example shows a missing autocomplete, necessary for adding coupon products and other things wonderful...

Is this as easy as re-uploading the open cart 1.5.1.3 version directly in ftp?

I forgot to mention, I also replaced the json.php file to its original 1.5.1.3 version. (I had tried using a 1.5.1.2 version by request on this thread).

OK. Get rid of "system/library/json.php" (that's the old one). Make sure that you have a "sytem/helper/json.php" (from the 1.5.1.3 package).

Now, you stated earlier that you have 2 mods/extensions:

1. Import/Export (JNeuhoff)
2. Restricted Access (Qphoria)

(a) Of these, JNeuhoff's Import/Export mod is a tool which allows you to backup/restore your database to/from an Excel spreadsheet. This has no impact on products and doesn't use json.

(b) On the other hand, Qphoria's Restricted Access mod does have an impact on products, as its purpose is to "restrict access".

Using the basic principle of logic that "a + b therefore c", the conclusion is that your problem is in Qphoria's Restricted Access mod.

Disable this mod by renaming the controller (add ".bak" to the end of the filename or change the extension to ".php_"). If this is a "module", the controller will be found in "admin/controller/module" folder. If it is a "tool" the controller should be found in the "admin/controller/tool" folder. This will confirm whether this module is the cause of your problem, or not.

The error message you included in your first post:

This suggests that something is trying to load the json "library" (doesn't exist in 1.5.1.3), so you are getting an error. If I'm right about which mod is causing your problem, have a look in the controller for Qphoria's Restricted Access mod, and look for something like: Delete: and replace the second line with:
