zx_pos plugin: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to protected method

[jimmie]

zx_pos, he said he will fix it but i guess he busy

Yeah, sorry about that. As mentioned earlier, the plugin is currently compatible with up to 1.5.8. Updating it to work with 2.1.0 is on top of my priorities list, but my schedule has unexpectedly turned into a nightmare. I should be free after the first week of Feb and will be updating it first thing. Until then, I'm afraid I can't do much.

wow, this is your plugin? who knew....

only because i truly like @balihr, i can provide some direction to the OP question.

please note, that while this may solve your original error; a new error may/will pop up. (note the use of a linux not windows slash! )

the situation is you want to load a language file, when ZC has not loaded it. this is how i solved this issue:

create a file; call it something like:

includes/functions/extra_functions/my_functions.php

in that location.

then within that file, put in the following code:

    function loadExtraLanguages(string $filename, string $middleDir = ''): void
    {
        global $template_dir, $languageLoader;

        if (empty($middleDir)) {
            $middleDir = '/' . $template_dir;
        }

        $new_langfile = DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . $middleDir . '/' . 'lang.' . $filename;
        if (file_exists($new_langfile)) {
            $languageLoader->loadExtraLanguageFiles(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES, $_SESSION['language'], $filename, $middleDir);
        } else {
            $languageLoader->loadExtraLanguageFiles(DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_LANGUAGES, $_SESSION['language'], $filename);
        }
    } 

now, once that is done, on line 97 change accordingly:

//from:
$languageLoader->loadDefinesFromFile('', $_SESSION['language'], 'account.php');
//to:
loadExtraLanguages('account.php'); 

the function will load either the new style language file, ie lang.account.php or the old style, depending on what exists for the specific file.

please let us know if that works for you.

you may run into other errors, but this is how i accomplished loading a language file when needed in zc v158 and onwards...

you are welcome.

best.

awwwwwww

Thanks bud, this might even show up in the new release, although the plan is to drop support for older ZC versions... But there's A LOT of work to be done with it and refactor it all, will see what my options are.

this has nothing to do with older versions. in fact, i believe this function will only operate in v1.5.8 or greater environment. i have not tested it for use in v1.5.8; but definitely works in v2.x.x environments.

and again, it's use is to load a necessary language file that was not loaded as part of the normal ZC operation for the specific script you are running.

in the OP's situation, the script he is running is ajax_process.php. and he needs the language file for account.php. this function will load the relevant language file for account.php; and it will load either the new style (if it exists) or the old style if it does not.

best.

ps feel free to use it in your new release, just make sure i get some credit! https://mxworks.cc
