Shopper Fields Error, Call to undefined method JDatabaseMySQLi::getTableColumns

[drayks]

Hi everyone,

i have searched hi and low for this all over the interent but i cannot find any solution.

Im pretty sure this is a Joomla Bug than a VirtueMart Bug, anyway this is the problem.

When i try to insert a "Shopper Field" item in the Administrator I get the following error

[18-Sep-2013 15:22:27] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method JDatabaseMySQLi::getTableColumns() in C:\inetpub\vhosts\pyrotexnima-corfu.gr\httpdocs\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers\vmtable.php on line 1508

At line 1508 in that file:

//Check if a column is there
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
if(JVM_VERSION===1){
   $columns = $this->getTableColumns($this->_tbl);
} else {
   $columns = $this->_db->getTableColumns($this->_tbl);    <-- Line 1508
}


Joomla Version 1.6.3
VirtueMart Version 2.0.22c

I hope someone can point me to the right direction, thank in advance.

Use VM2.0.22d on Joomla 2.5.

Thank for your reply, updating Joomla would be my last option right now.

Thank you anyway.

Joomla 1.6.3 has known critical security holes and should not be used for a live site. VM2.0.22 is developed and tested  to run on J2.5 and no earlier versions.
