Fatal error: Call to private method DataTables\Editor::_ssp_field() from context ''

Hi

I am getting this error on the production server but not on my development laptop

Fatal error: Call to private method DataTables\Editor::_ssp_field() from context '' in /var/www/vhosts
/bookt.lanzarote1.com/httpdocs/inc/dt/php/lib/Editor/Editor.php on line 1444

Here is the debug for the development wamp platform which works fine - 3 tables each filtered / searched from select fields in form.

The server envronment is LAMP

Is a PHP version "problem". Its actually an accessibility issue in the Editor class with old versions of PHP, so it sounds like your production server is using an old 5.3 version of PHP while your dev server is something newer.

To fix, open the Editor.php file and find the function _ssp_field. Change it from private to public. That change will be in the next release of Editor for backwards compatibility with old versions of PHP .

Hi, I have the same issue.
When i change the function to public I then get this error:

DataTables warning: table id=example - Unknown field: (index 0)

Anybody knows why ?

Thanks

Happy to take a look if you post a link to test case. It suggests that DataTables is trying to read data that isn't there. possibly a mismatch in the number of columns between the HTML and Javascript, but I'd need to be able to see the page to say for sure.

Hi,

I have solved the issue by removing the first column that included a tickbox.
If i add the column again the table fires a mismatch error.

How can I add a column with the tick box that doesn't confuse the AJAX / server ?

Thanks

If you post a link to the page I'd be happy to take a look. As this example shows, it should be quite possible to have a checkbox field for many options.

Ok,

Can you send me a private contact detail so I can send you the link ?
On a different note, how do you prevent the .php file from being accessible directly from the browser url ?

chmod ?

Thanks

Click me name above and then click the "Send message" button, which will show a form to send me a PM.

You can't. It has to be, otherwise it wouldn't be able to be loaded! The source code should never be seen, in exactly the same way as you can enter the URL for an image directly into a browser's URL bar, you can also enter a php file.
