Superglobals Plus

[lat9]

@dbltoe, the issue appears to be twofold:

1) I'll get /includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php updated to check for the presence of that constant before use.

2) Since that setting was introduced back in 2012, it looks like you might not have copied /admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php (which does the plugin's database initialization).

Here's what's at admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/superglobals.php

What's the history of the site? Was this an upgrade or an initial install?

[dbltoe]

As stated earlier, put up new files for 1.5.6c (with no demo), immediately installed the mods, did not create any categories or products.
The error showed up once and has not repeated itself (sorry, left that part out)

PHP 7.2.21
MySQL 5.7.27
ZC 1.5.6c New Install
Apache
No Categories or Products

[lat9]

OK, that makes sense (and the correction I've got on GitHub will, er, correct that).

The issue is that, on initial install, that storefront extra_functions file is loaded, but the configuration has not yet been set.

[dbltoe]

Figured it was something simple but wanted to let you know when and how it happened.

Thanks, again, for all you do for ZC

I've just submitted v2.0.2 to the Zen Cart moderators for review and will post back here once it's available for download.

This release contains the change associated with the following GitHub issue (thanks, @dbltoe):

I've just submitted v2.1.0 of Super Globals for the Zen Cart moderators' review and will post back here once it's available for download.

This version makes use of Zen Cart notifications rather than directly-input code blocks to enable a fairly drop-in plugin for zc156b and later; see GitHub issue #16 for details.
