Hello,
I found another issue related to HikaSerial PDFSerial.
For orders with a HikaSerial PDF ticket, the HikaShop checkout completion message was rendered above the Joomla template/header instead of inside the normal component area.
A normal HikaShop book order without HikaSerial was displayed correctly.
I traced this to:
Code:
plugins/hikaserial/pdfserial/pdfserial.php
In generatePdf() there is:
near the end of the function, but there is no corresponding ob_start() anywhere in pdfserial.php.
I tested adding:
near the beginning of generatePdf(), directly after:
Code:
$pdfLib = hikaserial::get('inc.pdf');
if(empty($pdfLib))
return false;
So the relevant part is now:
Code:
$pdfLib = hikaserial::get('inc.pdf');
if(empty($pdfLib))
return false;
ob_start();
With this change:
the HikaShop completion message is again rendered correctly inside the Joomla template,
the PDF ticket is still generated correctly,
the ticket is still attached to the email.
Without this ob_start(), it looks like ob_get_clean() can close an output buffer belonging to Joomla/HikaShop.
The difference is reproducible:
normal book order without HikaSerial → page correct
event order with PDFSerial → checkout message above Joomla header
same event order after adding ob_start() → page correct
Could you please check whether generatePdf() should create its own output buffer before calling ob_get_clean()?
Best regards,
Thomas
