I am not sure which updated messed up the cron jobs, but my guess is going to be Joomla! 3.1.4 because the fatal error references a file for Joomla!

When the Cron jobs try to run, I get this error:

Fatal error: Interface 'JObservableInterface' not found in /home/tccadmin/public_html/libraries/joomla/table/table.php on line 26

What does this mean? I mean, the file table.php is different from version Joomla! 3.1.1 to 3.1.4, but what is different in functionality?

Let me know if you would like me to post any of my configuration, but I have followed step by step the configuration instructions from here:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Managing+Scheduled+Jobs

Please, someone help me with this code.

HI

I talked to Joomla! folks and they tell me that I should put this line

JLoader::register('JObserverMapper', JPATH_PLATFORM . '/joomla/observer/mapper.php');

In the php script/file that I am using in the CRON job. Now, if I look at the cli.php file, there is really nothing there because I think it's getting stuff from cli.class.php, so which file/script should I insert the line above?

Let me know,
Thanks!

HI

Now I'm getting this error when I put the line with JLoader in it

Fatal error: Class 'JLoader' not found in /home/tccadmin/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php on line 30

So, how can I reference the file '/libraries/joomla/observer/mapper.php' correctly from a CiviCRM php file?

Let me know
Thanks!

1. figure out how / who load the joomla file for the first error. You'll need to add some debug statements and be a bit comfortable using php

2. based on the above, i'd add the below a bit before the error. I suspect u need to initialize joomla etc and doing it in cli*.php might be a bit too early, IMO

Hi

Can someone tell me, help me, point me in the right direction as to how I should reference or register the file?

JLoader::register('JObserverMapper', JPATH_PLATFORM . '/libraries/joomla/observer/mapper.php');   (this is the way Joomla!) told me to do it

BUT, I am sure in CiviCRM it should be a statement written in an different way because now when I run it with this JLoader... statement, it says it doesn't know what JLoader is:

Fatal error: Class 'JLoader' not found in /home/tccadmin/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/bin/cli.php on line 36

Help? Please, I know I will have to debug, but I'm putting in this statement in the wrong form.

my first shot would be to add it here:

CRM/Utils/System/Joomla.php, function loadBootStrap (somewhere near the end of the function)

but this is just a guess from limited information

Same problem here, using CiviCRM 4.3.5 on Joomla! 3.1.5. I'll try to debug it too. The first one to solve it, please tell the others

Hi,
So, I found the references to the problem in Joomla! at:

http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=31663
and
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=706&p=3062336

Tried to apply the patch proposed. It adds a file "import.php" at <joomla root>/libraries/import.php

I added a call to that file in cli.class.php and cron.php with

require_once '<joomla root>/libraries/import.php';
That made the errors go away, no more errors, even with PHP error_reporting = E_ALL | E_STRICT .

Buuuut, the Scheduled Jobs are still not running... I have no idea why. I was able to test it only in one installation, I'm willing to test it on a second one, where I have more observation capacity.

BTW, I found a second patch, appears more specific to the JObservableInterface interface at the following url, but I'll be able to test it just tomorrow.
