FYI noticed the Tags field is now no longer usable so your mileage may vary. We don't use tags, so hopefully won't be an issue for us.

Fortunately, this is not on a production site.")* Hi, Instead of deleting the line Code: return $fieldTag->input; of the file /administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/tags.php what you can do is add this code before it in that same file: Code: if(method_exists($fieldTag, 'setDatabase')) { $db = JFactory::getDBO(); $fieldTag->setDatabase($db); } That way, it will fix the problem and the tags system will work again. We've added the fix in the 4.6.1 on our end. So for anyone having the issue and reading this : - if you have HikaShop 4.6.1 you can download it again on our website and install it on yours to get the hot fix - if you have a previous version of HikaShop, you can just update your HikaShop or apply the patch as explained above The following user(s) said Thank You: [mohairbears](/forum/user/916-mohairbears "View mohairbears's Profile"), [jazzmang](/forum/user/5807-jazzmang "View jazzmang's Profile"), [yumasan](/forum/user/12271-yumasan "View yumasan's Profile"), [grafixpress](/forum/user/29205-grafixpress "View grafixpress's Profile"), [Philip](/forum/user/34318-philip "View Philip's Profile"), [imcom](/forum/user/43456-imcom "View imcom's Profile"), [SEKME](/forum/user/50233-sekme "View SEKME's Profile"), [khashiz](/forum/user/61259-khashiz "View khashiz's Profile"), [levelup](/forum/user/61801-levelup "View levelup's Profile"), [Akdag](/forum/user/66581-akdag "View Akdag's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI1LWluc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzkwNDg1Ni1lcnJvci13aGVuLXRyeWluZy10by1lZGl0LXByb2R1Y3QtYWZ0ZXItam9vbWxhLTQtMi11cGRhdGU/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[khashiz](/forum/user/61259-khashiz "View khashiz's Profile")** - [![khashiz's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/61259-khashiz "View khashiz's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/61259-khashiz) Less More - Posts: 240 - Thank you received: 13 - - 4 years 2 months ago [\#344010](#344010) by [khashiz](/forum/user/61259-khashiz "View khashiz's Profile") Replied by *[khashiz](/forum/user/61259-khashiz "View khashiz's Profile")* on topic *[Error when trying to edit product after Joomla 4.2 update](/forum/25-install-update/904856-error-when-trying-to-edit-product-after-joomla-4-2-update#344010 "-- HikaShop version -- : 4.6.1 -- Joomla version -- : 4.2.0 -- PHP version -- : 8.1.9 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Any -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Database not set in Joomla\CMS\Form\Field\TagField Just opening up a product in the administration area of Hika causes this error: Database not set in Joomla\CMS\Form\Field\TagField It doesn't happen when editing or updating anything else like a category.
