PHP Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: 0():Missing '$template' parameter

[dannielhendrix]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help me in the right direction..

I have upgraded from 1.6.X.X to 1.7.5.0, everything seemed to be ok, now all of a sudden I have this error! when I say all of a sudden, I mean that the upgrade was made a month ago and the error is about 2 days old

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught  --> Smarty: 0():Missing '$template' parameter <--  thrown in /home/********/public_html/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 177

***** - is my host name blured out.

What appears to be the problem? Does anyone know?

Many thanks,

Daniel

P.S: at first sight the frontend of the store seems to be ok but I would like to know what is this error and if it affects my shop in any way and the activity on it

See https://github.com/PrestaShop/statsdata/pull/7

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/issues/20921

As far as I followed the discussion it seemed that the pull still didn't fix the issue.

[Hart]

yes there is no fix yet.. that is scandalous!

[webbrent]

Still nothing? Has anyone managed to solve this issue as of yet?

Change this:
 

$html = $this->display($location);

to this:

$this->setTemplate( $location );
$html = $this->display($location);

I am assuming these changes are made in the smarty_internal_templatebase.php?

My line 177 in this php file reads as follows:

 

Quote

{

        $smarty = $this->_getSmartyObj();

        $saveVars = true;

        if ($template === null) {

            if (!$this->_isTplObj()) {

                throw new SmartyException($function . '():Missing \'$template\' parameter');

            } else {

                $template = $this;

            }

I am utilising PS 1.7.8.7 with PHP 7.4.30 - I am assuming there have been changes made previously to fix this with a release, but it now seems to have reared its head again. Any advice will be most certainly welcome as this error is slowing down our sites as well as effecting our sales in the process.

TIA

No, assume modules that use implementation of "$this->display" in modules

Find in project all places where "$this->display" is used and add above "$this->setTemplate( $location );" where $locations is only example there (use existing parameter)

It is working fine in native modules and core. 

If liked to be fixed then pleas add pull request with solution from your perspective as a IT guy. Pleas upgrade all modules and check compatibility

There is many breaking change between 1.6.X.X and 1.7.X.X

You can contact us for support if needed

I have isolated the module causing the error... Data mining for statistics seems to be throwing the aforementioned error. When disabled it stops throwing the Apache Error with regards to "Missing $Template Parameter.

However now it has started throwing the following error when navigating the "Dashboard" section of the BO.

I have attempted to reset the module and it has done nothing favourable either. Perhaps a total removal of this module would be more ideal.

Removing it for favor of Matamoto or Google Analytics or other tool is great approach. It isn't updated as module and viable right now as functional.

My solution.

modify /classes/controller/FrontController.php:724 

$html .= $this->context->smarty->fetch($tpl, null, $theme . $this->getLayout());

to

$html .= $this->context->smarty->fetch($tpl, null, $theme .'/templates/'. $this->getLayout());

and  /classes/controller/FrontController.php:727

$html = $this->context->smarty->fetch($content, null, $theme . $this->getLayout());

to 

$html = $this->context->smarty->fetch($content, null, $theme .'/templates/'. $this->getLayout());

 

[Smart-Modules]

Just in case this may help anyone. I've found myself in this situation too.

In my case, the error was triggered because the template was not set in the initContent method from a module's FrontController.

 

In case you're using your own FrontControllers there are two possible solutions

1. Set the template to use by adding the

   $this->setTemplate('...');

   to the initContent call
2. Make the script end before reaching the end of the method (for example if it was an ajax call, where you just need to output some content). To end it you can use the keyword

   exit;
