4 arguments are required, 3 given

Hello,

Opening a field and save it, no problem. Now i delele a option in de option list in this field. Saving -> Error: 4 arguments are required, 3 given

How to solve?

Joomla 4.2.8 Visforms 4.21

Regards Michel

Hello zegenrijk,

I assume the following is the case.
A Visforms external plugin participates in the event system.
The external plugin can participate in the role of 'Event Sender' and/or 'Event Receiver'.
It uses the wrong number of event parameters.

A detailed PHP error report would be very helpful for us (the whole call stack with all the information).
To get a verbose PHP error report, enable maximum debugging in the Joomla administration before reproducing the error:

Dashboard --> Global Configuration, tab 'System', parameter 'Debug System' = 'Yes'
Dashboard --> Global Configuration, tab 'Server', parameter 'Error Reporting' = 'Maximum'

Kind regards, Ingmar

Ok, i enabled debug/reporting and doing the same thing as yesterday, the option is deleted and there is no error. Solved....but why ?? there was a problem yesterday is a big ? Tryed it yesterday in many different ways.

Thank you for the quick response
Regards Michel

Ok, now i'm deleting another option, same error.....i see no php error, only this on the screen:

Hello zegenrijk,

Thank you for the PHP call stack.
That has helped us a lot.

The error is caused by an incorrect translation text in the Dutch language: COM_VISFORMS_OPTION_TOGGLES_DISPLAY.
I assume that you have Dutch set.

Explanation:

P1 - The English translation in the file:
administrator/language/en-GB/com_visforms.ini
says in the following line 498:

P2 - The Dutch translation in the file:
administrator/language/nl-NL/com_visforms.ini
says in the following line 499:

Correct: P1 contains the expression \"%s\" twice.
Wrong: In P2 there are 3 expressions \"%s\".

Therefore, P2 leads to the runtime error when called:
4 - 3 = 1 missing parameter.
You are obviously the first exquisite user to see this language string since the Dutch translation was last changed.

Questions and requests to you:

Q1 - Can you correct the Dutch translation to match the English in spirit and number (\"%s\")?
Q2 - Can you transfer the new translation from Q1 to the following file in your backend?
file = administrator/language/nl-NL/com_visforms.ini
Q3 - Does the error persist?
Q4 - Can you provide us the new translation from Q1 here?

We would then update and exchange the download package for the Dutch translation (visforms-language-nl-NL_j4.zip) as well.

Kind regards, Ingmar

Thank you, solved!
