Topic: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

When I tried to select a customer, when writing invoices or editing customers, and selected a customer from the pop up window, the information does not show up on the main window.

But when I use microsoft Edge browser, this has no problem.

Also the Chrome browser has been updated already.  So sometimes I see this problem, sometimes I don't see this problem.  Maybe it could be needing to update browser?  I don't know.

Re: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

PHP v7.3.x is not fully supported without tweaks to it's settings.
Try PHP 5.6.x or PHP 7.0 / 7.1.

Re: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

Also when i press  F2 - Customers; F3 - Branches; F4 - Items
2.4.7 - Theme: thinker -

These function button's don't work. 

So for now I switch back to PHP 5.6.x ?  Would this affect my wordpress website too that is hosted on same server?

Re: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

Depends on wordpress version. Generally it should only affect some plugins.
You can also use a specific version of PHP for each application - ask your sysadmin if it is a hosting company / corporate environment.

Re: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

I've changed everything to PHP 7.1 instead of PHP 7.3.

I tested the wordpress, so far no impacts.

But for the Front Accounting seems like it is working ok.  I click on search for customer icon on the sales invoice, then pop up dialog shows, select customer, then main window shows customer.  It is this that sometimes this does not work. 

So could it be the PHP problem or the browser problem?

Re: Front Accounting buggy in Chrome

Your version of Chrome Browser is 78.0.x - see if an update / downgrade is in order - check if popups are enabled in it's settings, if not put in exceptions for FA site.
Alternatively try FireFox.
What OS are you using for the client side?
