Hi

I am getting the following error when trying to access the Hikashop Dashboard Module in the website admin area.

Call to a member function setFieldAttribute() on bool

This is also happening in the site where I use the free version of Hikashop.

Thanks

David

Hi,

Could you please activate the "debug" setting of the Joomla configuration and try again ?
It should display an error message with more information. That will allow us to understand where is the problem and provide a solution.

Hi,

Thanks. Download again the install package of the 4.6.2 on our website and install it on yours and it will add a patch for that.
