[SOLVED] blockspecial error "undefined index" when VAT not shown

[vansrv7]

I have a bug in my blockspecial module (PS 1.5.6.1, module v. 1.0)

 

If I log-in as a foreign user registered with VAT ID, I correctly see the prices without taxes.

 

By the way, if there are products on offer shown in the blockspecial module, i get the error:

 

Notice: Undefined index: priceWithoutReduction_tax_excl inC:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop\cache\smarty\compile\50\97\54\509754be458c82ea8c05f115388675b1b9c82496.file.blockspecials.tpl.phpon line 79

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object inC:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop\cache\smarty\compile\50\97\54\509754be458c82ea8c05f115388675b1b9c82496.file.blockspecials.tpl.phpon line 79

 

Note that the message is shown inside the special offers products (not visible in f12 console, debug mode activated).

 

If I log out (or if I login as a non-VAT rgistered user) everything works correctly.

My deduction is that the problem is caused by the combination of discounted products and prices shown without taxes.

 

Do someone is able to help?

Are you using a custom template? Or the default one?

[vansrv7]

Hi Nemo, thank you for your reply.

 

I'm using a custom template.

[NemoPS]

Can you try switching to the default one and seeing if it still happens?

[vansrv7]

Hi Nemo,

yes, it's the same with default theme also.

[NemoPS]

Hm, ok, open blockspecials.php and see if you have this:

 

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'special' => $special,

'priceWithoutReduction_tax_excl' => Tools::ps_round($special['price_without_reduction'], 2),

'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),

));

 

In hookRightColumn

[vansrv7]

Hi Nemo,

the code exists, by the way, for some reason, the 3rd line was commented (/* ... */).

I removed the comment but I still have an error on the same line:

 

Notice: Undefined index: price_without_reduction in C:\xampp\htdocs\prestashop\modules\blockspecials\blockspecials.php on line 121

 

Now the error is shown even if I'm not logged as a foreign customer (ie. not only for non-vat discounted products). More, if I'm logged in, the old price (without discount) is 0.00

[NemoPS]

Did you have someone edit that file?

 

that hooking method should look like

	public function hookRightColumn($params)
	{
		if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))
			return;
		
		// We need to create multiple caches because the products are sorted randomly
		$random = date('Ymd').'|'.round(rand(1, max(Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_NB_CACHES'), 1)));

		if (!Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_NB_CACHES') || !$this->isCached('blockspecials.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockspecials|'.$random)))
		{
			if (!($special = Product::getRandomSpecial((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang)) && !Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY'))
				return;

			$this->smarty->assign(array(
				'special' => $special,
				'priceWithoutReduction_tax_excl' => Tools::ps_round($special['price_without_reduction'], 2),
				'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
			));
		}

		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockspecials.tpl', (Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_NB_CACHES') ? $this->getCacheId('blockspecials|'.$random) : null));
	}

[vansrv7]

No, I don't remeber I ever modified that file. By the way, it looks exactly like the one you posted except for the line

 

if (!($special = Product::getRandomSpecial((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang)) && !Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY'))

 

that in my case is

 

if (!($special= Product::getPricesDrop((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang,0,5)) && !Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY'))

 

If I modify this, I get a new world of error messages

and so on.... (maybe 50-60 messages)

[vansrv7]

Ok, solved.

 

Don't know exactly where the problem was, I simply copied blockspecial.php and blockspecial.tpl from downloaded PS installation back to the relative folder in my installation. Now it works.

 

Thank you for your help.

[NemoPS]

It seems like you (or someone else) adapted my tutorial there, as it's only supposed to show 1 special, not multiple, by default

I'm also facing this notice undefined index problem.

Please give me any idea to resolve this problem.
