Hi

When editing a product from the front-end, date restrictions are added to the price on save.

To reproduce:
- In the front-end open an existing product for editing
- Click Apply or Save
The restriction start and end dates are filled with 1970-01-01 02:00 but were previously blank.

I have reproduced it with a clean install of Joomla, HikaShop and HikaMarket. (doesn't happpen on th demo site though!)

We noticed this after moving the site to a new server and updating HikaShop & Hikamarket with fresh downloads.

Server info:
Database Type mysql
Database Version 10.2.19-MariaDB-log-cll-lve
Database Collation utf8_general_ci
Database Connection Collation utf8mb4_general_ci
PHP Version 7.1.25
Web Server LiteSpeed
WebServer to PHP Interface litespeed
Joomla! Version Joomla! 3.9.1 Stable [ Amani ] 27-November-2018 15:00 GMT

User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Before saving


After saving


This effectively removes the price so the product is listed as Free.

UPDATE
There is no problem when editing in the back-end admin.
The problem seems to be server related. I fired up my old server and cannot reproduce the problem there.

Trevor

Hello,

I cannot reproduce the issue on my two test websites.

Please note that your instructions are not complete/right since you do not mention to edit a price. But since there is one flow in the description I can't know if it's the only one.

I would suggest you to perform a test with the default Joomla template and be sure that you do not have issue with the automatic validation of fields using some JS. Because a script might be the source of that issue (it could force the datefield to select a value when the form is submitted).

And please perform simple tests like verifying if the issue is also there when you click on the "OK" button and not on the "Apply"/"Save".
Since we cannot reproduce the issue ; we need to understand it and find a way to see/reproduce it.

Hi Jerome

I have set up a test site in a sub-domain on the same server as the live site and installed Joomla, HikaShop and HikaMarket - nothing else. The template is the default Protostar. Hikashop is installed with the sample products.

Test1:
- I log in as admin on the front-end and click on the pencil icon to edit one of the products - Brown Shoes
- There is one price and no restrictions.
- Click 'Save' without changing any of the fields
- The product page is displayed and the price is 'Free'
- Edit the product
- The price now has a start and end date restriction of '1970-01-01 01:00'
- Clear out the restriction dates and click OK
- The price is refreshed without restrictions
- Click Save
- The product page is displayed with the price showing correctly

Test 2:
- Edit another product from the front-end
- Product has one price and no restrictions
- Click 'Apply' without changing any of the fields
- The page refreshes with the start and end date restriction of '1970-01-01 01:00'

Test 3:
- Edit another product from the front-end
- Product has one price and no restrictions
- Click Back
- The product is displayed with the price

Looking at the server settings I notice that there are quite a few php and pearl functions that have been disabled compared to the old server but I wouldn't know which to enable. I could send you a list if it would help or would yo like a super-user login?

Best regards
Trevor

Hello,

The issue is regarding the configuration of the timezone of your server.
When the timestamp is not set, the value in the database is "0".

That value is sent to the function "hikashop_getTime" ; which convert a date into a timestamp.
But when you give it a timestamp, you should get the same value in return. In your case it gave you the timestamp plus one hour.

It is also why when you re-save a product, the dates increase.
First time : "1970-01-01 01:00"
Second time : "1970-01-01 02:00"
Etc...

Please note that it is also visible in HikaShop and for all date fields that you can edit.

Even if I add a patch into HikaMarket to avoid the save of the date when the value is "0" ; you would still have your timezone configuration problem and the increase of the date each time you save the product.

So you can edit the HikaMarket product class and replace

$product->prices[$k]->price_start_date = isset($value['price_start_date']) ? hikamarket::getTime($value['price_start_date']) : '';
$product->prices[$k]->price_end_date = isset($value['price_end_date']) ? hikamarket::getTime($value['price_end_date']) : '';
By
$product->prices[$k]->price_start_date = !empty($value['price_start_date']) ? hikamarket::getTime($value['price_start_date']) : '';
$product->prices[$k]->price_end_date = !empty($value['price_end_date']) ? hikamarket::getTime($value['price_end_date']) : '';
But it would just hide the problem in your case.

I have managed to do a quick fix by adding the following line to .htaccess

php_value date.timezone ""
The value was "Europe/Paris"
