PHP errors with JA Content Listing module

mberwing

Hello,

we have noticed that there are a lot of errors like below in our PHP logs (/var/www/vhosts/system/xxx/logs/php-fpm_error.log):
...
[28-Apr-2023 16:48:46] WARNING: [pool abc-deutsch.de] child 1909568 said into stderr: "PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $layoutOutput in /var/www/vhosts/abc-deutsch.de/httpdocs/modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helper.php on line 378"

Is it possible that this module is not compatible with PHP 8.x.
Are you aware of those errors and is there a fix available ?

Best regards

Hi, mberwing

The module content listing has already been updated to be compatible with PHP 8.0 and 8.1. Therefore, this issue may be caused by other factors.

I am currently investigating the issue further to determine the root cause. Please stay tuned while I work on resolving this for you.

Hi vanhs010,

Since I reported the case to our Linux support team who is investigating technical issues they repeated their statement again:

JA Content Listing appears to have an undefined variable:
[Thu Apr 27 18:08:55.028392 2023] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 1187447:tid 140677954397952] [client 149.28.168.226:50898] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Warning: Undefined variable $layoutOutput in /var/www/vhosts/abc-deutsch.de/httpdocs/modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helper.php on line 378;

And said variable indeed does not seem to be defined prior to using it:
root@freiburg-im-breisgau:~# cat /var/www/vhosts/abc-deutsch.de/httpdocs/modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helper.php | nl | grep layoutOutput
378 $layoutOutput .= ob_get_contents();
381 echo $layoutOutput;

Hi, mberwing
Thank you for providing me with detailed information.
Just one more thing: could you please tell me the current PHP version you are using and whether you have encountered any issues with mod-ja-contentlisting? This will help me to work on resolving the issue.

Kindly check and respond to us.

Hi vanhs010,

I am using PHP 8.2.5.

Hi, mberwing
I have already resolved the issue and thoroughly tested it on my local machine to ensure it is working correctly. As part of the solution, I updated the file /modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helper.php, specifically on line 379.

Kindly verify at your end and let me know.

Hi vanhs010,

thanks a lot for your valuable support and actions.
Now there are no further issues and the underlying Apache and PHP log is clean.

Will there be an official mod_jacontentlisting release being available for download to get this issue fixed so that I can install it on all our sites !?

Thanks and regards
Markus

Hi Markus,

This fix will be included in the upcoming release version of module, you can update the new version then 🙂
