Problem Accepting Meetings in 2.4.1 Upgrade

[RupertF]

Hi,

I think I've found a problem when upgrading to Sugar 2.4.1....

Our users complained that when they were clicking the link to accept an emailed meeting request, they were getting the errors:

Notice: Undefined index: db in
/var/www/html/SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0a/data/SugarBean.php on line 3035

Fatal error: Call to a member function quote() on a non-object in /var/www/html/SugarSuite-Full-4.2.0a/data/SugarBean.php on line 3035

Obv, I had turned php display_errors on, otherwise they just get nothing!

After a bit of hunting, I believe I've solved the problem. It appears that during the upgrade the $GLOBAL['db'] variable was replaced by $this->db, moving away from Globals towards Classes. Think that there are three instances of $GLOBAL['db'] in the /data/SugarBean.php file that needs to be changed.

If this is right, hurray! - I've fixed it. However, if I'm being amazingly stupid can someone let me know before I break anything else!

Thanks in advance,

Rupes

Rupes,

You mean 4.2.1, right?

I encountered this same issue today after upgrading yesterday. What exactly did you do to fix the issue? You replaced 3 instance of something with something in sugarbean.php, correct? I want to make sure I make the correct changes; would be great if you could post exactly what you did for a non-PHP programmer!

Thanks!

Yeah, 4.2.1!! Obviously not that good at typing...

In the SugarBean.php file, there are three instances of $GLOBAL['db'] that need to be replaced with $this->db. So, all you need to do really is open the file in notepad, vi or whatever, search for $GLOBAL['db'], and replace it with $this->db . That'll fix the problem, and if your not a php person and really don't want to know why it does this then don't worry.

Basically, I think original versions of Sugar registered the database type/name as a global variable, so the every subsiquent script could then use this to reference to the database. Upgrading to 4.2.1 means that this is now replaced with a class, allowed the database and subsiqent function that need to be applied to it to be referenced easiler, and more securely...

I can't find any $GLOBAL['db'] antry in my SugarBean.php file!?

This is fixed in 4.2.1 patch A which we just posted.

See this thread for links to the release notes and the bits.
