JRule Fatal Error

I am using the latest version of Flexicontent. I recently received the following error message in the backend:

Fatal error: Class 'JRules' not found in /home/content/56/6850156/html/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/flexicontent.php on line 1257

Please respond back with a fix so I can update my website.

Thanks,

Pheng

Hello

also mention Joomla version (and FC version of course)

I am using version: FLEXIcontent CCK v2.1.3 r1857 with Joomla 3.30, which are the latest versions.

The page the fatal error is occurring when I attempt to get to the FLEXIcontent dashboard in the backend. (Components >> FLEXIcontent) and when selecting any of the shortcuts from the Joomla Control Panel. Frontend view is just fine.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'm looking forward to a resolution.

I placed the code in the file as requested and am still receiving the same error message. See the attachment for how I placed the code you gave me.

please test this fix:

-- edit the file giving the error:
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/flexicontent.php

-- at the top of the file find:
if (FLEXI_J16GE) jimport('joomla.access.accessrules');
and after it add:

Code:

if (FLEXI_J16GE) jimport('joomla.access.rules');

and retry

Hello,

"/home/content/56/6850156/html/" is a path automatically set by Joomla as a temp folder. This is not the path to my site.

SEF is turned on.

For security purposes, I don't feel comfortable sharing with you my site's login information.

ggppdk wrote: Hello

is the path that you have installed Joomla ?:

/home/content/56/6850156/html/

is SEF enabled ?
please backup your .htaccess file and try with the default joomla .htaccess


the statement i gave you made sure that file is included, so this is strange

after doing the above, you may send a PM with site URL and super admin login to review this,

Regards

I can tell you, the issue has nothing to do with the location of the temporary folder, again, set automatically by Joomla.

I didn't have any issue with your extension until this week and I've been using it since last year.

what do you mean temporary ?

/home/content/56/6850156/html


your message says:
/home/content/56/6850156/html/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/flexicontent.php

so it must be the folder that the joomla is installed

Hello

so:
/home/content/56/6850156/html
is the installation folder of joomla


if you execute:
then the needed file should be included:
/home/content/56/6850156/html/libraries/legacy/access/rules.php


or for the purpose of testing use:

Regards

Resolved

Here's the cause:

In Joomla 3.3, JRules has changed to JAccessRules. Flexicontent.php is looking for JRules.


Solution:

JRules is depreciated and replaced with JAccessRules. Once I changed to as instructed in libraries/joomla/access/rules.php, this resolved the error. Other areas with "New JRules" code will also need to be updated to "New JAccessRules".

Hello

class JRules is indeed being replaced by JAccessRules

but it is not removed in J3.x

-- the JRules is deprecated and is to be removed in J4.0

-- if you download latest Joomla 3.3 package you will see that

1. it still exists in:
libraries/legacy/access/rules.php

and you can include it with:
jimport('legacy.access.rules');


-- before i wrongly said:
jimport('joomla.access.rules');

but this is good for J2.5 and not for J3.3, which would need:
jimport('legacy.access.rules');

but the:
would have surely worked
