Save Project Task Error

[datasponge]

I get the following error when I click Save after creating a new Project Task:

Warning: aSubPanel::require(modules//metadata/subpanels/.php) [function.aSubPanel-require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/SugarCRM/include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php on line 88

Fatal error: aSubPanel::require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'modules//metadata/subpanels/.php' (include_path='/var/www/html/SugarCRM/include/..:.:/usr/lib/php/:/usr/share/pear/') in /var/www/html/SugarCRM/include/SubPanel/SubPanelDefinitions.php on line 88

If I return to the Project, the task was saved properly. If I then create another task, it is saved normally with no warnings or errors. If I logout and login again and create a new task, I get the error again.

I have not customized Projects. We do not use it formally in my company and I simply started using it to track my own project tasks, but I had tried out Projects under 5.2 with no problems. So I don't know if this error has been there all along or if it just started.

I recently went through the entire Wiki Performance section and implemented almost all the tips including collapsing subpanels initially on login. But in order to add a Project Task I expand the Tasks subpanel, click Create, fill in the form and click Save, so the subpanel is opened before the save action.

Has anyone seen this error?

I have SugarCRM 5.5.1, MySQL 5.0.45, php 5.2.4 on Linux Mandriva 2008.

Thanks

Is the module and subpanel normally specified in a GET string?

The important aspect of this message is the line:

Failed opening required 'modules//metadata/subpanels/.php'

Note that there is no module specified (i.e. 'modules//metadata') and that the filename is empty (i.e. 'subpanels/.php') as if they were filled in from a variable that was supposed to be set from a GET string which was never set.

Looks like a bug to me. Ideas?

Anyone have trouble with Project Tasks in 5.5.1?

I'll try to characterize a little better before I file a bug in Bug Tracker.

I opened bug #37229 for this.

Poking around the code, it appears that the module name is supposed to get filled in from the subpanel collection. So I am guessing that the subpanel collection is not initialized properly when the subpanel is first expanded.

I tried expanding the subpanel, navigating away, returning, then clicking Create and I do not get the error with those steps.

So it appears to be related to my having set 'hide_subpanels' to improve performance.

Hi,

I fixed this in my Sugar instance but its not Upgrade Safe.
Paste this code snippet in the file, include/SubPanel/SubPanel.php, right at the beginning of function 'SubPanel' to get stuff working..

 global $sugar_config;
if(empty($subpanel_id) && empty($subpanelDef) && $_REQUEST['action']=='SubPanelViewer' && $sugar_config['hide_subpanels']==true)            //fix for sugarcrm bug 37229
    header("Location: index.php?module=$_REQUEST[module]&action=DetailView&record=$_REQUEST[record]"); 
  

I'm posting this because I didn't see any official fix for this bug.
