It looks like a Joomla 6 compatibility issue, so I thought I'd share what I found. Our setup: Joomla 6.1.3, PHP 8.4.25, HikaShop Business 6.6.0 and YOOtheme Pro 5. The checkout menu item is set in the HikaShop configuration (checkout_itemid 434, SEF name "afrekenen"). What happens: when a visitor has something in their cart and opens the checkout without an Itemid in the URL, they get a 500 page saying "0 - A key is required". For example: www.greenfirezuidlaren.nl/component/hikashop/checkout We mostly saw this through old add-to-cart links like /component/hikashop/product/updatecart/add-1/cid-66, which redirect to that URL. A few things I noticed while testing: - With an empty cart (or no session at all) there's no error, you just get redirected to the product listing. - As soon as there's any Itemid in the URL, even one that doesn't exist, HikaShop redirects nicely to the checkout menu item. - It also happens with tmpl=component and format=raw, so it's not the template. I briefly turned on Joomla debug to get the stack trace: 1  JROOT/libraries/vendor/joomla/database/src/DatabaseQuery.php:1890 2  Joomla\Database\DatabaseQuery->bind()   JROOT/libraries/vendor/joomla/database/src/DatabaseQuery.php:1988 3  Joomla\Database\DatabaseQuery->bindArray()   JROOT/libraries/src/Language/Associations.php:126 4  Joomla\CMS\Language\Associations::getAssociations()   JROOT/administrator/components/com_menus/src/Helper/MenusHelper.php:281 5  Joomla\Component\Menus\Administrator\Helper\MenusHelper::getAssociations()   JROOT/components/com_hikashop/controllers/checkout.php:159 6  checkoutController->show()   JROOT/libraries/src/MVC/Controller/BaseController.php:738 7  hikashopController->execute()   JROOT/administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php:3167 8  require_once()   JROOT/components/com_hikashop/hikashop.php:85 So as far as I can tell, line 159 of checkout.php calls MenusHelper::getAssociations() with an empty menu item id when there's no Itemid. Joomla 6 then hands an empty array to bindArray(), which throws the exception. Joomla 5 didn't complain about this, which is probably why it hasn't come up before. I noticed the changelog for 6.5.1 mentions a change to this same block (the multilingual menu associations in the checkout, which now only runs when the Joomla classes exist). Maybe a check on the menu item id could be added there as well. We're on 6.6.0, which is the latest version available to us. A simple guard would probably fix it: only call getAssociations() when the menu item id is above 0, or fall back to the configured checkout_itemid first. For now I've added this to our .htaccess as a workaround, and that works fine: Because of that workaround, the link above now redirects instead of showing the error.  Best regards, Sinus") Category: [Checkout](/forum/27-checkout "Everything about the checkout process in Hikashop") Topic started 2 weeks 6 days ago, by [Sinus](/forum/user/44473-sinus "View Sinus's Profile") [Last Post](/forum/27-checkout/100000049-title-500-error-a-key-is-required-when-opening-checkout-without-itemid-jooml#100000252 "Thanks for the quick fix and the explanation!
