CCv4 gives Server error 500 after Joomla 3.5 upgrade

I just upgraded to Joomla 3.5. After the upgrade, both CFv4 and CCv4 break and give a Server error 500 when clicked. I am aware of the issue (http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/56-cfv4/cfv4-other-faqs/5125-chronoformschronoconnectivity-fails-after-a-joomla-upgrade.html) concerning the versions folder not containing a folder for the new Joomla version and so I created a new folder (with the appropriate contents) for both CFv4 and CCv4. I then reinstalled a fresh copy of CFv4 and CCv4. After these steps CFv4 works fine. CCv4, however, still causes the Server error 500. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance,

John

Hi John,

I'll try installing CCv4 on Joomla! 3.5 and see what I find.

Hi John,

I just checked with CCv4 on Joomla! 3.5 and I'm not seeing any problems apart from the missing version folder.

Do you see any clues in the server logs about the cause of the 500 message?

Bob

Thanks Bob,

This seems relevant (from error_log under administrator folder) -

Hi skittle,

It looks like you have an even older version of CCv4 installed. The current version doesn't use JParameter. The easiest solution is probably to take a database backup of the ChronoConnectivity table(s) for security the upgrade your CC to the latest release of v4

Thanks Bob,

I think I'm closer to getting this fixed but I still need some help.

I downloaded and installed the latest version of CCv4 this morning before starting this thread. I can verify that my site is running CCv4.0.1.

I believe the problem is that even the latest version still has the bug which does not create the appropriate folder under administrator/components/com_chronoconnectivity/versions/jx.x when Joomla is updated to a new version. My workaround has simply been to copy an older jx.x folder to a new folder that corresponds to the current version of joomla - in this case I copied the contents of j3.4 to my new j3.5 folder. This has always worked until now. Your last response gave a good clue. I erased the files from the j3.5 folder (which had been copied from an older version of CC) and copied the newest version of admin.chronoconnectivity.php. Progress! - this caused a different error - specifically it said that admin.chronoconnectivity.html.php was missing so I uploaded the latest version of admin.chronoconnectivity.html.php. to my j3.5 folder. Now I get the following error -

[24-Mar-2016 11:59:16 America/Denver] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class HTML_ChronoConnectivity in /home3/prefligh/public_html/washhaus/administrator/components/com_chronoconnectivity/versions/j3.5/admin.chronoconnectivity.html.php on line 16

Thanks again,

John

Thank you Bob!

Hi there,

I got an similar problem: After updating to Joomla 3.5 I can't reach the administration of CC v4 in the backend. There's just a blank page :-(
CCv4 works well in the frontend, but I cant make new connections.

Ah! Nearly solved by the FAQ about the versions...but I have to put in the connectionapp by hand like:
.../administrator/index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&select_app=Connection1 or even Connection2
The dropdown doesn't work...

Hi Breakbeatz,

I'm seeing the drop-down OK (Joomla! 3.5.1 with the Isis3 admin template).
