Could not find valid value for id
April 08, 2009, 07:30:47 am
So here's another "Could not find valid value for id"  I've installed CiviCRM 2.2.2 on Joomla 1.5.3.  I went through all of the configuration of CiviCRM and set up an event.  I created a menu link to the event through Joomla (the event is #1).  However, in the front-end of the site, when I click the link, I get the error.

This is my server info:
Linux box293.bluehost.com 2.6.28-9.5.intel.BHsmp #1 SMP Thu Apr 2 10:18:06 MDT 2009 x86_64
Database Version:    5.0.75-community-log

Web Server to PHP interface:    cgi-fcgi

After I turned on Debugging, here is the output:

hi,

To access event info page you need to pass event id in menu link.
like : http://joomla.demo.civicrm.org/administrator/index2.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/event/info&reset=1&id=1
in this url id=1 is the event id.

Thanks for the info and quick reply.  So the automated menu creation in Joomla 1.5 doesn't work for Event links?

i think kiran misread your post.

The front end menu links should work (and do work on our installs). I'm not very sure why it fails on your install. Most likely the right variables are not getting passed in

If you are a php programmer and can debug: components/com_civicrm/civicrm.php (line 50) and figure out what is happening there, that would be great. Basically that code gets the task and id parameters from the ItemId

Lines 50-62 read:

   if ( CRM_Utils_Array::value( 'Itemid', $_GET ) ) {
        $component  =& JComponentHelper::getComponent('com_civicrm');
        $menu       =& JSite::getMenu( );
        $item       =  $menu->getItems('componentid', $component->id, true);
        $params     =  $menu->getParams( $_GET['Itemid'] );
        $args = array( 'task', 'id', 'gid', 'reset', 'pageId', 'action' );
        foreach ( $args as $a ) {
            $val = $params->get( $a, null );
            if ( $val !== null ) {
                $_GET[$a] = $val;
            }
        }
    }

yes, if you are a php programmer, please add debug statements to that piece of code and the values stored in $_GET

if not, would be great if you can find someone local to help you debug this. not sure if this is related to the fact that you are running php as cgi/fcgi

thanx

I think this might be related... I am getting the same error for profile view and profile search links.

The profile edit link works, and when I click on cancel, I can able to get the form to search
