Fabrik4 Beta4 Now Available for Downloading

[achartier]

We have made great advances with our F4 development. We have finally resolved all of the sql datatime issues (fingers crossed), as well as a number of other reported issues. You can get a link to the download here: https://github.com/joomlahenk/fabrik/wiki/Tester-Instructions

It is also important that you review https://github.com/joomlahenk/fabrik/wiki/Upgrading-from-fabrik3.10-to-fabrik4 prior to upgrading as there are important prerequisites you will need to deal with prior to an upgrade.

when i install the zip in on my test sites with fabrik4 pkg_fabrik_4.0beta4a.zip i get this message
Table 'ahuisboek.fabrik_fabrik_cro please?n' doesn't exist
Package Update: There was an error installing an extension: com_fabrik_4.0beta4a.zip
Error installing package
on a test site without fabrik 4 installation goes well
I think I found it in
"packages\com_fabrik_4.0beta4a.zip\admin\sql\updates\mysql\4.0-2022-12-18.sql"

Please post issues here: https://github.com/joomlahenk/fabrik/issues

However, having said that, I see the issue. Somehow some extraneous text ended up in the update sql. I have fixed it and will update the install package shortly.

 

[leen]

sorry i posted it in wrong place will do there in the right place next time
Thank you

I just want to report that plugins/fabrik_form/receipt works well for me. It's not included in beta 4, but I copied the directory to the server, installed it into joomla and then did these changes:

I guess that the changes I made to receipt.php are performed when a fabrik installation package is created and so I'm not publishing a PR for this.

I have verified that a receipt can be sent to an e-mail address specified in a form element and that placeholders work in the receipt e-mail. User's choice (e-mail me a copy) seems to work also.

Thanks for fabrik!

Hey!
Stupid question, but isn't it possible to install the Fabrik 4 .zip file into a J!4 project directly, without having to upgrade from Fabrik 3 to 4?

Tnks!

 

[troester]

Sure. (You can't install Fabrik3 on J!4 at all, why do you think you should?).

But keep in mind that Fabrik4 is still beta (i.e. for "testers").

@robho : Thanks, it may be included into the next version.
