CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I did a search against a custom text field, using %India%. It returned 1300+ contacts, which I then wanted to export.

The export URL leaves a blank page, and also doesn't result in anything downloaded.

In the php log, I found this error:

Cannot access protected property CRM_Export_Form_Select::$_action in /home/ahymsin/public_html/main/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Contact/Form/Task.php on line 87

CiviCRM 3.0.3 on Centos Linux 5.4, PHP version 5.1.6, Joomla 1.5.15

Is there something I can do to "unprotect" the export form, or somehow find out why it doesn't work?

The export would (I guess) be exporting the custom fields as well?

This is an individual contact search.

Is there a way to export and then reimport all the custom fields?  Otherwise, I will have to do all of that first. Also, I do not want to import my contacts, so I will have to check the demo out to see. It's going to take a while to set up, since I don't know what's causing it.

One of the reasons I asked "how to debug", rather than just report it

I'll start on setting up custom fields, etc.

I disabled both custom field groups, and the export after search still fails.

Same message in my etc/php5errors.log file:

Sorry I wasn't clear on my first reply to you.  When I said

Adding a few custom data types and changing two records and running a search for %China% within the custom field, I was able to export successfully. Of course, this is 3.1, and I am running 3.03 on my (live) server.

I was referring to the demo site that you linked to.

So, no, it does not duplicate with a simple test as I outlined.

I uninstalled 3.03 just now, and am in the process of installing 3.04.  The link you sent is 3.1 also. I might also try installing that..., but am worried that if I upgrade to 3.1, I would have to do a site restore to return back to 3.04 if needed.

Just check on on http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org, you don't need to upgrade your site to 3.1. It might be possible that it is fixed in 3.1
