Hi,

it seems that there is a bug when using PHP8:

I cannot open a basket with Customer/Basket in the backend. (administrator/index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=cart&task=edit&cart_type=cart&cart_id=36922&cid[]=36922)
I get this error:
0 htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given

Whe using PHP7.4 all is ok.

Thanks for help.

Regards,
Stefan

Hi,

I'm not able to reproduce the problem on my end.
It must happen only with something specific.
Could you activate the "debug system" setting of the Joomla configuration and try again ?
It should display an error message with more information, which will allow us to better understand where is the problem to be able to fix it.

Here is the debug message:

Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten!

Hi,

Thank you for that. It actually only happens if you have a coupon added to the cart. That's why I didn't get the error on my end.
I've made a patch for this.
Download the install package of HikaShop on our website and install it on yours and it will add that patch and fix the problem.

Thank you for your fast solution.
Works fine!
