Fatal PHP Error after updating to version 4.4.32

[Sean]

Hi,

I may have come across a bug in version 4.4.32 of TEC PRO. After updating, I found that the event information was no longer appearing on our single event pages. Upon viewing our system logs, I found the following:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function tribe_get_custom_field()

After reverting TEC PRO to version 4.4.31, the event info is not showing up correctly. So it appears the source of the problem may be in that update.

Thanks Brandon. I unfortunately can’t see Patti’s link because it was a private post.

I understand we need to replace the old function tribe_get_custom_field( 'Our Custom Field Label' ) with the new function. However, I’m unclear of the exact code. If we need to replace it with tribe_get_custom_fields( $id) what do we need to replace the ( $id) with and where we can find that value? Sorry for not understanding your initial reply, we’re still getting accustomed to customizing php!

Here’s the original function/code:

<div class = "right-float-box" >
    <div class = "right-float-box-wrapper">
         
        <a class="tribe-events-event-url blue-button" href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_meta( get_the_ID(), '_EventURL', true ); ?>" target="_blank">Event Website</a>
         
        <?php if ( tribe_get_custom_field( 'Online Registration' ) ) : ?>
            <a class="tribe-events-regurl green-button" href="<?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_custom_field( 'Online Registration' ) ); ?>" target="_blank" >Register Online </a>
        <?php endif; ?>
        <?php if ( tribe_get_custom_field( 'Paper Application' ) ) : ?>
            <a class="white-button" href="<?php echo esc_url( tribe_get_custom_field( 'Paper Application' ) ); ?>" target="_blank" >Mail In Application</a>
        <?php endif; ?>
    </div>
</div>

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Not sure why you can’t see my private post? see below.

I had the same problem. If you’re using tribe_get_custom_field() to pull custom fields to your pages, that not longer works. See https://pastebin.com/Cuqbif9f for fix/replacement.

Thanks Patti! Is my understanding correct that (if we use the first replacement option) we should replace tribe_get_custom_field with TribeEventsCustomMeta::get_custom_field_by_label in our template override files?

[Patti]

Yes, like that. You could simplify it even more by creating a var for each custom field.

// Put above the content
$fields = tribe_get_custom_fields();

// Create your vars
$onlinereg = $fields['Online Registration'];
$paperapp = $fields['Paper Application'];

[Sean]

Great, thank you so much for your help!

[Brendan]

Thanks Patti!

Let us know if you need anything else Karly.
