Error when trying to edit product after Joomla 4.2 update

-- 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.

It also seems to scramble the HikaShop administrator menu (but just when you get that error).

Fortunately, this is not on a production site.

I get the same error. It seems related to /administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/tags.php:82
If I disable that line I can edit the product again.

Did you disable a plugin or just rename tags.php file?

I edited the file and uncommented line 82.

Line 82 edited:
This is just a temporary fix to get access back to the edit page. I'm sure Hikashop will fix the underlying issue ASAP.

Getting exactly the same issue?

Thanks, can confirm that does the job at least temporarily until HikaShop fixes it right.

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.

Hi,

Instead of deleting the line of the file /administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/tags.php what you can do is add this code before it in that same file: 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

how can a person have solutions for all questions ??

you are a magician Nicolas

thank you

Thank you for your quick response, Nicolas.
Reinstalling with the hot fixed file worked!
