On all three client sites the above SMTP Mailer setup is working.

On one site I get the following error:

Creation of dynamic property email::$phpmailerCharSet is deprecated in file: /home/mysite/public_html/accounts/reporting/includes/class.mail.inc at line 131

I have tried to redo the installation with still the same error. It is sending the email even with the error. Do not know why this is the only site with this error.

The Class.mail.inc at line 131 - 142 has the following code as downloaded for use with SMTP PHPMailer:

    public function send() {
        $this->phpmailerCharSet = $this->charset;

        //send the message, check for errors
        if (!$this->phpmailer->send()) {
            error_log('Mailer error:' . $this->phpmailer->ErrorInfo);
            //echo "Mailer Error: " . $this->phpmailer->ErrorInfo;
            return 0;
        } else {
            return 1;
        }
    }
}

-----------------
It is the same code on other installations and none of them has this particular problem.

On one of the installations of FA 2.4.17 get an age-old error. Do not know why on all the other FA installations I did not get this error: Sending document by email failed.

I have redone the PHPMail installation and replacement of all the files as per instruction but the error remains. The email address is correct and the SMTP mail sending setup is correct.

I have even deleted the mail account on the server and redo the setup, still have the same error.

Got this post for the same errors https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=6369

I am stuck again.

oh good catch! I didn't even notice that.

In the new file in the function pass the $filename then add the check if it is passed like the old version then pass it to 2nd argument in phpmailer addAttachement function. In the end the function should be this

public function attachment($file, $filename=null) {
  if (!isset($filename))
    $filename = basename($file);
  $this->phpmailer->addAttachment($file, $filename);
}

Changed it in my file and it works and display correctly now. Thanks @trafficpest.

@traficpest I installed the extension, took me a while but eventually got it.

It works great and just one issue, the old system have the attachment as the Invoice number, but on this mailer the attachment is just a long set of numbers.

Had a quick look at the code in class.mail.inc for both files:

Old File at line 68:

function attachment($file, $filename=null)
    {
        if (!isset($filename))
            $filename = basename($file);
        $this->attachment[$filename] = $file;
    }

New replacement file line 116:

public function attachment($file) {
        $this->phpmailer->addAttachment($file);
    }

How do we change that to use the invoice number instead of a long list of codes on the pdf attachment?

I agree, it becomes an issue with more and more servers and client email servers.

I can set up my mail server to send emails in my Joomla Installation. Works better than via the current setup in FA.

I now save my invoices and send them via Outlook.

Get the following message after the above updates:

"This edit session has been abandoned by opening sales document in another browser tab. You cannot edit more than one sales document at once."

This happened after I loaded a new customer and wanted to issue a direct invoice. I was still in the same tab. Using Edge.

Anyhow, I am sure the fixes are ok and I am pushing the files to stable repo now.

Thank you for the changes. I have updated it as indicated by you and it works, the errors have gone.

Sorry for not coming back earlier, I did not receive the notification.

I appreciate your assistance. I trust that this will be correct in future updates.

It seems that there were several requests over the years for a POS in FA.

In searching all the information it seems that very few if any of the suggestions ever materialised except one that I could find that has updates https://sourceforge.net/projects/chromispos/

Is there a possibility of an integration between these software? Unless someone else has an alternative constructive idea.

Second related question: Can you link a till printer to the standard FA installation to print a small Till printer invoice instead of an A4 size page?

When I set my PHP to 8.2 with FA 2.4.17 the following error shows:

Creation of dynamic property front_accounting::$renderer is deprecated in file: /home/mydomain/public_html/accounts/frontaccounting.php at line 66 in Sales TAB when FA opens. When I refresh the page the error goes away.

When I switch back to php 8.1 it goes away.

This is the content before and after line 66 in the frontaccounting.php file.

function display()
        {
            global $path_to_root;
           
            include_once($path_to_root . "/themes/".user_theme()."/renderer.php");

            $this->init();
            $rend = new renderer();
            $rend->wa_header();

            $rend->display_applications($this);

65            $rend->wa_footer();
66            $this->renderer =& $rend;
67        }

When I refresh the page it goes away. Do not know what is the issue?

Has this issue been resolved?

It seems that The warning message I am seeing is related to the use of a feature in PHP called “dynamic properties”. Dynamic properties allow you to set and get object properties by using variable names, like you are doing in the __construct method of your database class. They indicate that this feature has been deprecated in PHP 8.2 and later versions.


How do we fix this in the frontaccounting.php?

I am using FA 2.4.17 and PHP 8.2

See the lines in the comment below.

That happens when I updated FA to 2.4.17. Email an invoice to a client and that is what the client receives.

Then I will replace the standard class.mail.inc with the the one I have changed as indicated. by changing all the \n code in the file to \r\n and it works on both PHP7.4, HP8.0, 8.1 and 8.2.

Then it sends the invoice correctly as a PDF attachment.

Just changed it and tested and now it mails to client and to admin in the copy to email address in company setup.

The standard class.mail.inc  sends nothing.

Replaced /n with /r/n and it works again.

With the 2.4.17 this issue is still there. It seems that the reporting/includes/class.mail.inc is still not fixed. With every update the new file is overwritten and we are back to the same issue.

When I replace the core file with the change information as indicated below it will send the emails and attachments as expected.

"I have found the solutions by changing all the \n code in the file to \r\n and it works on both PHP7.4 and PHP8.0

Emails are now sending and displaying correctly when sent from FA.

\r\n is for a new line in windows as for \n in the new line in Linux.

Use \r\n instead of \n for your implode -- explicitly specifies CRLF as the line terminator."


Why are we keep on having the same issue irrespective of the PHP it is set on?

Is no one else have the same issue?

The aged Customer Analysis differs from the customer Balance report.

As can be seen from the two attachments, the Customer balance shows correctly whilst the Aged Customer analysis does not.


The Customer balance sees the journal as a credit, while the Aged Customer Analysis see the same journal as a debit.

I cannot upload the second file.

It still displays the information requested, will the errors on top of the info. Irrespective of the setting for the php.ini file display_errors = Off or On, the info still displays

There is nothing in the error logs.

See something here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74862088/warning-trying-to-access-array-offset-on-value-of-type-bool-error-when-upgrading

It seems something in the customer_inquiry.php is the issue.

When selecting All Customers, there is no error. When selecting any other customer, receive the error. It seems to only throw the error on certain customers. For other customers, there is no problem.
