server error on checkout

Hi Nicolas,

A client brought this error to my attention that his customers have been getting occasionally on checkout.
I am using ver 1.4.9 on joomla 1.5. I can't reproduce the error myself.

He seems reluctant to allow me to upgrade to the latest version. I was wondering if there was another way to fix this.

This is from the error logs:

[01-Sep-2011 14:47:04] PHP Warning: include() [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: Failed opening '/home/miraclea/public_html/components/com_hikashop/controllers/.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/miraclea/public_html/components/com_hikashop/hikashop.php on line 37

I really like your product and have been recommending it to many other Joomla users.

Thanks

Todd

That's a strange error.

I don't know from where it comes.

What you can do is to add the line:
if(empty($taskGroup)) $taskGroup = 'checkout';

before the line :
if(!class_exists($className) && !include(HIKASHOP_CONTROLLER.$taskGroup.'.php')){

in the file components/com_hikashop/hikashop.php

Since you don't want to update HikaShop, there is not really a problem in modifying a core file of HikaShop anyway...

Merci Nicolas,

I'll try that. My client is still getting the customer orders everyday and everything, it took him 5 months to mention the error so it couldn't be that disturbing.
