There’s a known bug in the vTiger 5.4 version which causes the vTiger Report filter not to be applied when the scheduled/automated report goes out. The fix is very simple assuming you have the skills to connect to the vTiger server and modify the file. We strongly recommend backing up the files/database before you do ANY change, as simple as the change might be – thing can go wrong, due to the change you did or something that was done unintentionally. Here’s what you need to do in order to fix vTiger Scheduled Reports Filters: Backup your vTiger Files & Database Connect to your vTiger File Server Open the file: /modules/Reports/ScheduledReports.php Go to Line 154 Find the string “$pdf = $oReportRun->getReportPDF();” and change it to “$pdf = $oReportRun->getReportPDF(NULL);” Go to Line 161 Find the string “$oReportRun->writeReportToExcelFile($filePath);” and change it to: “$oReportRun->writeReportToExcelFile($filePath, NULL);” Save the file & test the vTiger Scheduled
What to do If you get a Blank/White Page In vTiger?
August 30, 2013
Article
There can be multiple reason as for why you are getting Blank Page in vTiger. It can be server configuration, vTiger error, or a permissions issue. The first step you should do is enable error reporting in index.php. You can do that on the server site as well. To enable error report you will have to add an additional line to index.php. Go to “/vtigercrm/” Open index.php with your favorite text editor After <?php create a new line and add “ini_set(‘display_errors’, 1);” – (exclude double quotes). Save it Now you should be getting an vTiger error message instead of blank screen, which will help you to identify & solve the issue. If you need help trying to figure out what went wrong, feel free to contact us.
The record you are trying to view has been deleted
August 28, 2013
Article
The vTiger error “The record you are trying to view has been deleted” is presented when the the record you are trying to access does not exist. It does not necessary mean that the record has been deleted, the reason for that is, if you were modifying the code or the database you might have changed the function which loads the appropriate recordid or when the record is not created properly but the system still thinks it was and opens the record using the ‘new id’ which does not exist. It’s almost impossible to determine why it happens without looking at the code. If you would like us to look at it – feel free to contact us.
Migration Incompleted. Please contact your system administrator.
August 28, 2013
Article
The vTiger error “Migration Incompleted. Please contact your system administrator.” is usually caused by vTiger not being able to connect to the MySQL database. Possible causes: MySQL Server is not available/down MySQL Server host has changed MySQL Username/Password is not correct/has changed MySQL Database name has changed In order to adjust the MySQL credentials, first you have to verify them with your host provider and adjust them in config.inc.php. Go to your vTigerCRM directory Open “config.inc.php” with your favorite text editor Go to line 47 – verify that the $dbconfig[‘db_server’] has the correct MySQL Host Name Go to line 48 – verify that the $dbconfig[‘db_port’] has the correct MySQL Port Go to line 49 – verify that the $dbconfig[‘db_username’] has the correct MySQL Username Go to line 50 – verify that the $dbconfig[‘db_password’] has the correct MySQL Password Go to line 51 – verify that the $dbconfig[‘db_name’] has the correct MySQL Database Name Hope that helps!
Sorry! Attempt to access restricted file.
August 28, 2013
Article
The most likely cause for the vTiger error “Sorry! Attempt to access restricted file.” is the $root_directory value in the ‘config.inc.php’ is incorrect or misspelled. In order to correct it follow the steps below: Go to your vTigerCRM directory Open “config.inc.php” with your favorite text editor Go to line 86 and adjust $root_directory value to correct vTiger directory. Note, that the directory must end with /. It should look something like this – $root_directory = ‘/var/www/vtigercrm/’; Hope that helps!
vTiger Profile/Permissions does not save the “Modules To Be Shown” properly?
August 7, 2013
Article
You might come across an issue related to saving “Profile Privileges” for each module. It’s a known issue, however it’s not a vTiger bug – it’s a server limitation. If you are a server admin and have access to php.ini, you should check the value of “max_input_vars” and increase it to 1500-2000. By default it’s set to 1000 which is not enough to save vTiger Profile Permissions. If you are not the server admin or are you using shared hosting, you should contact your vTiger hosting provider and ask them to do the same. Hope that helps!
