After upgrading to PHP8.2 the website shows Error: 0 Call to a member function.

Debug mode is enabled and points to modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helpers/adapter/content.php (314)
We can't figure it out and would appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hi adwebcom1,
A hotfix has been implemented to address the reported issue. We have also notified our technical team about the issue, and they will investigate and incorporate a permanent solution in the upcoming version release.

I have fixed the modules/mod_jacontentlisting/helpers/adapter/content.php file line 308:

Replace this code:

    public static function getCategoryAttrib($catid)
    {
        $categories = Categories::getInstance('Content', []);
        //get category by id
        $catData = $categories->get($catid);
         return json_decode($catData->get('params'));
    }

With the following code:

public static function getCategoryAttrib($catid)
    {
        $categories = Categories::getInstance('Content', []);
        //get category by id
        $catData = $categories->get($catid);
      
        if ($catData !== null) {
            return json_decode($catData->get('params'));
        } else {
            // Handle the case where the category doesn't exist or couldn't be retrieved
            return null; // or any other appropriate action
        }

        // return json_decode($catData->get('params'));
    }

Thank you but I'm afraid the code you added broke something else. Now none of the Menu Items - Category Blog work.
See example https://23.kanadskyslovak.ca/index.php/en/calgary/calgary-slovak-organizations

This is in Menus: EN Slovak Comun Menu Calgary Photogallery

None of the Category Blog menu items in the EN Slovak Comun Menu work. And this is a simple Joomla Category Blog layout.

Hi adwebcom1,
I sent it to our technical team, we are checking this issue.
We tested and saw that it does not come from the template or the JA content listing, I have tested with the Cassiopeia - Default and disabled the JA content listing and still get this error.

Hi adwebcom1,
We have checked and see that the issue comes from the Database, we have helped you fix the issue, and you can check it now.

I really appreciate it. Could you please tell me what did you fix in the database so we know in case it happens after the next upgrade? Thank you.

Hi adwebcom1,
Go to the categories table and edit/update the first row as this:

INSERT INTO hfnim_categories (id, asset_id, parent_id, lft, rgt, level, path, extension, title, alias, note, description, published, checked_out, checked_out_time, access, params, metadesc, metakey, metadata, created_user_id, created_time, modified_user_id, modified_time, hits, language, version) VALUES (1, 0, 0, 0, 23, 0, '', 'system', 'ROOT', 'root', '', '', 1, NULL, NULL, 1, '{}', '', '', '{}', 42, '2020-09-25 10:29:02', 42, '2020-09-25 10:29:02', 0, '*', 1);
