[SOLVED] Error after J3.6.4 update: Error decoding JSON data: unexpected end of data

Nice
I have my list again.
You wrote i have 3 more files to edit ?
And again Georges, thanks (really mean it !)

Hello

you probably, you do not need to edit anything now , you can wait a couple of days for v3.1.1

that is because only 1 item had bad attributes,

and listing it in backend has now cleaned its parameters
(and they were not used already before since they were broken)

(if you only have 2000 or less items, you may want to set pagination to 100 to items manager (do not use more) and navigate through all pages to make sure no other files have same issue)

About hitting the same problem in frontend an extra check will be in v3.1.1

edit file: (at line 369)
administrator/components/com_flexicontent/models/items.php:

Replace line:

Code:

$item->config = new JRegistry($item->config);

with:

Code:

try { $item->config = new JRegistry($item->config); } catch (Exception $e) { $item->config = new JRegistry(); $this->_db->setQuery('UPDATE #__content SET attribs = "{}" WHERE id = ' . (int) $item->id); $this->_db->execute(); }

Then view the backend items manager page 2 times

- note there are more places to add checks

e.g. if you try to view the item with the broken JSON attributes in the frontend then you will get an error

but if you list it in the backend items manager then it will be fixed (thanks to above fix) then it will be fixed and you can then view it in frontend


- I will manually break the attributes of an item to see where the error is triggered to add check to all needed places ...

all these will be in v3.1.1 (coming this weekend) (v3.1.1 will only have a handful of fixes for rare issues and no new features)

Hi there,

I have had this same problem with Flexicontent 3.1.1 and Joomla 3.6.5. I followed your instructions and now works well the list of items. Thank you very much.
