Friendly URLs messed up in 7.2.1

[Si]

Don't know what happened or when it happened but I never used friendly urls.

 

Now: when you do a search in the knowledgebase - the links on results show an OOPS error page.

 

However: going to knowledgebase.php (hard coded) works.

 

Selecting a category, then an article: works, - but in this format:

index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/269/My-Article.html

 

Selecting knowledgebase from the breadcrumb at the top brings me to this url

index.php?rp=/knowledgebase

 

which DOESN'T WORK. (another oops page)

 

So going to knowledgebase.php works,

going to index.php?rp=/knowledgebase doesn't work YET

index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/269/My_Article.html does.

 

Baffled

try the hotfix I mentioned in the above reply...

 

https://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?129054-Version-7-2-Breaks-3rd-Party-Support-Module-Usage&p=517834#post517834

 

also, perhaps enable display errors to see if that might give you more details.

Hi Brian!

Coming here as I didn't want to hijack that thread.

 

no forced index.php in .htaccess file. Also, same issues in six template as well as custom template. Display errors came up with this:

 

exception 'Whoops\Exception\ErrorException' with message 'Call to a member function isHidden() on null' in /home/myusername/public_html/vendor/whmcs/whmcs-foundation/lib/Knowledgebase/Controller/Article.php:0

Stack trace:

#0 /home/myusername/public_html/vendor/filp/whoops/src/Whoops/Run.php(383): Whoops\Run->handleError(1, 'Call to a membe...', '/home/myusername/...', 0)

#1 [internal function]: Whoops\Run->handleShutdown()

#2 {main}

 

Does that mean anything to you?

 

Also, affiliate links no longer work either, but don't display any error. Just a blank page.

[brian!]

did you try the hotfix ?

An issue has been identified in the 7.2.1 release - published on 16th May, 2017 - that is affecting the ability to view knowledgebase articles via the client area when translations are present.

This manifests itself as an "Oops" page, and the following error:

exception 'Whoops\Exception\ErrorException' with message 'Call to a member function isHidden() on null' in /path/to/whmcs/vendor/whmcs/whmcs-foundation/lib/Knowledgebase/Article.php:0

with regards to affiliate links, I think i'm seeing the same thing on the v7.2.1 dev... though i'm pretty sure they worked when it was v7.1.2 - perhaps another bug?
