Title: Cant save Custom fields with plugin
Post by: Ville on April 21, 2020, 09:32:12 AM
Hi!

Uses Joomla 3.19.16
Virtuemart 3.2.4
Php 7.2.10

I can't do a new custom field in Virtuemart and choose a plugin, then the whole page freezes when I save.
If I choose string or some other type it works fine but not with plugin.
It doesn't matter which plugin I choose, the same result.

Until the version of Virutemart is free of errors, you cannot upgrade.

Changes between 3.2 and 3.6 are so fatal that they cause malfunctions - in our case, for example, any custom code modification

- OPC
- CustomFilters
- Discontinued products
- Order product by Sales prices
- Catproducts

etc, etc ...

Better to debug to the current version - hire a programmer and find a bug.
Not here on the forum, experience :)

If you dont hack the core, it's better to update and fix the issues that use an obsolete release.
S your solution, is to fix the bugs and never update ? In this case, why not using Vm 1.1 and Joomla 1.5 ?

Sure :)

no, no, we male update, but not on production site - on devel. All projects are on two servers, all projects are in gitlab and we working as team with branches.
After update devel (sometimes, 1x per 1-2 year) we create merge with all our new fix and our functions.

But the old programming rule says:

If something works, you don't need to upgrade to the new version.

Imagine that we upgraded a functional e-shop, which has 300 orders a day and caused a total malfunction, just because someone here on the forum says it as a condition for solving the problem. These people do not consider there and instead of just repeating the general rules that they devised to have a simple life :)

In addition, the differences between VM versions and random programming of VM developers (I remember the total malfunction of payment plugins) leave me in the belief that until I find out all the differences, there is no need to upgrade anything (without thinking)
