CiviDiscount Module Extension

[Hershel]

On a Drupal 7.14 CiviCRM 4.1.2 site I followed the instructions at https://github.com/dlobo/org.civicrm.module.cividiscount/wiki/Install-instructions-for-4.1.x and it installs but on civicrm/cividiscount/discount/list&reset=1 I get

Fatal error: Cannot make non static method CRM_Core_DAO::getTableName() static in class CDM_DAO_Item in /home/xxx/www/www/sites/all/extensions/dlobo-org.civicrm.module.cividiscount-5f105ae/CDM/DAO/Item.php on line 367

A bit more data. I ran civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1 according to the install several times, but civicrm/cividiscount/discount/list&reset=1 was just showing the dashboard. Finally I thought to run

civicrm/menu/rebuild?reset=1&directoryCleanup=3

and now half the CiviCRM pages show the above error. Furthermore, I can't disable the extension via the web interface. No event pages work now.

I didn't see how (offhand) to disable via the DB, so I changed the function getTableName to be not static and anyhow now the site works, and civicrm/cividiscount/discount/list&reset=1 also works--at least I see the page.

The 4.1 module extension has a few bugs like cannot disable cleanly etc. Definitely not recommended to use it unless u know what u r doing / willing to debug etc

I fixed the static issue and created a new 4.1.1 tag

Having the same problem on 4.1.1.  Can anyone advise how to manually uninstall the extension?

[joshathedone]

FYI, changing "Static Function" to Function in Item.php allows me to use my site without getting the error.  Does not make Cividiscount work.

I tried the steps and I can't even get it to find the admin section, and it also won't uninstall. Hmmm.

[Donald Lobo]

the 4.1.1 zip from github should have fixed the static issue

You can delete the option_value record found via the below sql:

select v.* from civicrm_option_value v, civicrm_option_group g where g.name = 'system_extensions' and v.option_group_id = g.id;

for 4.1 to disable the extension

@Lobo - Thanks, I am going to try uninstalling and reinstalling 4.11.1 in case I did something wrong.  Before I run the above sql against my database do I run it exactly as typed above or do I need to substitute somewhere?

I upgraded to CiviCRM 4.1.3 on D6 and when I enable the extension (4.1.1 tag) it seems to enable OK. When I rebuild menus it does that (but menu appears black/blank after rebuild, until I reload). Then I notice that most of my Admin URLs's, and public contribute pages all produce 500 error, until I disable the module, then they work again.

What's going on? I absolutely need this tool for a project - would be willing to contribute to get it fixed.

4.1.1 definitely not working.
Tried again with 4.1 version and it works, but only works with % discounts. How can I get $ discounts to work?

Zkrebs -  I have two sites where I really want to use the module (did get it installed under 4.1.2 and D6 after a couple of wrong starts)

I would be interested in also supporting a MIH project to support development of it - I was going to start a blog on this to see what the community interest is but just need to get some free time!

best,
Merlise

Confirming the "Cannot make non static method" error still exists.

[PRedmond]

Also confirming that the module doesn't disable from the Extensions page

[czmike]

I am also having the same error message and the module is not disabling 

[ChrisChinchilla]

Can't get this to work either… Tried the 4.1.1 tag to… Nothing really happens, though I'm not entirely sure what is supposed to happen as there's no documentation (Happy to help write when I know what's supposed to happen!)

Is the best thing at this point to support the MIH?
