Front end error...

Hi @GODpleasers

this is an known and already documented issue: https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Upgrade_to_4.0_Beta_4, that docs page als has the documentation on how to fix the issue.

https://docs.joomla.org/J4.x:Upgrade_to_4.0_Beta_4

How do you do what that link says?

In the how to fix section you find the cide to execute on the database most likely this is phpmyadmin.

Oh OK i went to phpmyadmin clicked on the data base and the SQL tab and entered the commands in the article. And it didn't change any thing. Why is this?

Have you replaced #__ with your database prefix as mention on the docs page?

Yes in Joomla! 3.10.0-alpha4 the exact codes i entered (one line at a time) were...
ALTER TABLE jos0p_extensions ADD COLUMN custom_data text NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE jos0p_template_styles ADD COLUMN inheritable tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0;
ALTER TABLE jos0p_template_styles ADD COLUMN parent varchar(50) DEFAULT '';`

and all 3 of them gave the same type of error message and the the J4 update came off with the same error when it was done.

Ah ok understood now. That statments are not the problem but there seems to be a plugin installed that is not yet Joomla 4 compatible can you show us the 3.10 pre upgrader checker results? You might can get a deeper look into what is causing the issue by enabeling debug mode.

Please upload the package to: https://cloud.tobias-zulauf.de/index.php/s/CisFSyj3NFjQF4R

Would it be easier if you logged into our back end and took a look?

How long should it take to upload?

Hello zero-24

That will not upload, anyhow as I was saying wouldn't it be quicker if you could just log in to our back end and take a look?

Hello any one there that can log in to our back end and take a look at why this wont work?

My best guess is that there is an extension installed that is not yet Joomla 4 compatible and is breaking the upgrade process. Please disable all non-core extensions (tip sort the extensions by ID and disable any that have an ID that higher than 10000) than do the upgrade and check whether the upgrade itself worked. When that is the case enable the 3rd party extensions step by step and see once it breaks. Than please contact the developer of that extension that breaks the site for you whether they are planing to do a Joomla 4 version of the extension.

When the upgrade run successfully than this is most lickly not an issues within the core system. When you need special assistance with your installed extensions that cause a problem please check the forum: https://forum.joomla.org

I have tried disabling all 3rd party extensions with no luck.

I just tried disable any that have an ID that higher than 10000 and still no luck.

This is obviously a bug in the upgrade that only you can fix.

An rate now it says
Error
The template for this display is not available.
An error has occurred.

0 Call to undefined method Joomla\Database\Mysqli\MysqliDriver::query() 

Please send the access data to an dedicated dev site to my mail posted above.

The template for this display is not available.

Thats (right now) is expected and should be gone with the next navigation.

An error has occurred.

please post a stacktrace (enable debug mode)

So I cant enable debug or any thing else since the upgrade made it totally unusable.

I'm having do restore the previous version it will,take a while.

Can you remind me of the e-mail again please?

Just emailed it did you get it?

I have just checked the site and can confirm that there are 160 extensions listed as not joomla 4 compatible (most of them are part of a bigger package). Once all 3rd party extensions are disabled the upgrade runs without any problem. So please review that list of extensions and contact the devbelopers where and when you can get a version thats joomla 4 compatible. There is not much as we can do from the core for now.

Thanks can you disable the 160 or extensions that you think are not J4 compatible for us or standing in the way?

We've tried that Several times with no luck it would be helpful if you could.

Then we will take a backup and try the upgrade again.

I already did that. The site you sended me is now running the latest 4.0 development release. I have send you the list of extensions i disabled. In the end everything that has an ID above 10000.

I can not help any future from this point as it all depends on the extensions and its developers to provide extentsions you can use within joomla 4.
