ChronoMyAdmin broke toolbar buttons' text

webbusteruk 26 Nov, 2023
Hi, just seen the new component and tried it out. After installing, it came up with a JError and the ChronoMyAdmin component cannot be accessed.

syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ')'

Also all the button text and field label text are now in string format and not the proper text, eg New button = JTOOLBAR_NEW, Edit button = JTOOLBAR_EDIT, etc. We've uninstalled ChronoMyAdmin but it doesn't revert it. Any idea how to fix this?

It has somehow removed Extensions > Languages from Joomla backend! The com_languages component cannot be found. I don't think ChronoMyAdmin should be doing this?

We are using Joomla 3.10

it requires PHP 8 or later, what is your PHP version ?

I do not think it will remove any components, but you need to uninstall both the component and the library

Still in the process of upgrading but currently on PHP7.4.

We've uninstalled both and it's still the same, all button text and fields are using string instead of the value.

Installed it on another site with same Joomla and PHP versions, and the same issue occured.

The extension does not change anything in Joomla itself, I'm not sure why would it do that if you have installed it correctly

We're not sure how an extension can change the language either, but it did. To confirm we have installed it on another site with Joomla 3.10, PHP 7.4 and the same thing occurred.

Have you tested installing ChronoMyAdmin on Joomla 3.10?

I did not test it on J3, but it uses the same library used by CFv8 which worked fine on J3 as long as you have PHP8 or later
