Hi,

I got this error on the product display pages when I attempted to upgrade to the latest version. The error is related to custom fields created for the several categories of products.

Begin Rental Date
Warning: preg_split() [function.preg-split]: Compilation failed: range out of order in character class at offset 3 in /home/gmm466/public_html/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php on line 1326

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/gmm466/public_html/administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php on line 1326

Ending Rental Date

Hi,

That error comes from the format of the date of your custom fields.

What format are you using ?

The format of your custom field is not valid.
Please remove all the text after %Y and that should help avoid the problem.

That fixed it.

On another issue. I thought the language files would not be touched on the upgrade. It seems the language file is has been deleted with all my changes. Are there any options to restore it?

The language file is updated on each update.
However, if you change your translations with translation overrides as explained in our documentation you won't loose them as the changes will be located in the override file:
www.hikashop.com/en/download/languages.html#modify

If the changes were made in the main translation file, then the only solution to restore them would be to take them from a backup. Note that you should always do a backup of your website before updating something on your website.

hi, good advice, where exactly is that language file located? Is there new data. I guess I have to do a comparison of the two files and look for differences?

It's in the folder languages/en-GB for english.
All releases of HikaShop have new translations added at the end of the file.

hi, i'm doing a test transaction and I get this error message at checkout after entering cc#

Is this not the proper format for having a single order confirmation email sent to two owners of the web store?

Hi,

In the "From address" field, you should only have one email address.

In the "Order creation notifications email address" you can have several emails separated by commas.

If that's what you did, then it must be a problem of configuration of your joomla email settings in the joomla configuration.

HI,

Attached is the current Mail Settings in Joomla. Maybe you could confirm that this is a valid configuration that won't be problematic.

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,

You will have to ask your hosting company.
Sometimes, you have to use SMTP and not PHP Mail. But that depends on your hosting company's setup so I can't say if that's ok or not.
