Error relating to Assets which using entry preview

[tyssen]

When trying to preview an entry that has an Assets fieldtype, I get a couple of warnings:

Trying to access array offset on value of type null
user/addons/assets/ft.assets.php, line 1460

followed by:

The site is running EE 7.1.6 with Assets 4.0.3.

[TomJaeger]

@tyssen Thanks for getting in touch about this. Unfortunately version 4.0.3 doesn't' support EE 7. I'd recommend upgrading to the most recent version. I believe from there you should be in good shape!

(It also looks there's been additional live preview items addressed in Assets since 4.0.3)

https://eeharbor.com/assets/changelog

[tyssen]

@TomJaeger The reason Assets hasn't been updated is because it doesn't show as being available to update on the Add-ons updates tab. I've been operating under the assumption that all EE Harbor add-ons will show as updates being available in the control panel. Is that not the case?

[intoeetive]

@tyssen the "updates" tab shows the available updates based on the files present. I.e. it will show you if you have newer add-on files, but did not run update script for it. It does no check anything remotely (yet!)

[tyssen]

I've now upgraded to EE 7.2.0 and Assets 4.1.2 and still getting similar errors except now the first on the page is:

Undefined array key "field_id_560"
user/addons/assets/ft.assets.php, line 1464

Field with ID 560 exists but it's not used on the page that I'm trying to preview.

@bakin1999 can you check this?

[tyssen]

Hi guys, could you let me know where things are up to with this, please?

[bakin1999]

@tyssen

What version of matrix are you on? I'm assuming that this assets field is also inside a matrix field? Have so far not been able to see this come up. Am using matrix 3.4.4

[tyssen]

Matrix 3.4.4 is installed but it's not in use on the page that is causing the problem. Instead, we're using Bloqs for repeating content. There is also a Fluid field on the page which for the most part isn't used. It's the legacy repeating content field from before Bloqs was introduced.

[bakin1999]

Sent over a fix on slack that you can try out, if it ends out working we will also have in next assets release

[TomJaeger]

Going to close this one out as conversation has moved to slack and it isn't an EE Core issue.

If need be, please feel free to re open.
