Still Can't Rename Modules

[bitnamiNoob]

Hello. I hope your day is going well. I just wanted to reach out, because I am having an issue with renaming modules.

ISSUE
Renaming modules seems to be broken

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Renaming a module should change the modules name via the label functionality.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
A white screen is shown and PHP errors logged.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open Admin
Got to “Rename Modules”
Attempt to switch the name of any core module
See the error
Context
Attempting to rename a module is no longer possible.

ALTERNATE STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open Admin
Go to "Configure Module Menu Filters"
Edit module names and/or move filters around
Click "Save & Deploy"
See Blank screen and no changes were made

TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
I have confirmed that all of the permissions on/in the suitecrm directory are correct by running the following commands (daemon is the default user for the VM instance created by Bitnami here: https://bitnami.com/stack/suitecrm/virtual-machine):

sudo chown -R daemon:daemon .
sudo chmod -R 755 .
sudo chmod -R 775 cache custom modules themes data upload
sudo chmod 775 config_override.php 2>/dev/null

Reference: https://docs.suitecrm.com/admin/installation-guide/downloading-installing/#_copying_suitecrm_files_to_web_server

It appeared to be a similar issue to this one (#9496); however, I have verified that my DropDownHelper.php config file has the correct, updated values

ENVIRONMENT
SuiteCRM Version used: 7.12.5
PHP 8.0.17
Chrome and Firefox
I am using the Bitnami VM found here: SuiteCRM Virtual Machines
Are there any work-arounds or patches that I can install?

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Probably caused by this

https://php.watch/versions/8.0/non-static-static-call-fatal-error

here:

https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/master/modules/Studio/parsers/StudioParser.php#L164

which should be easy to solve by making that function explicitly "static"

[bitnamiNoob]

Thank you so much for the very helpful information. That worked to get me past the first blank screen, and I was able to access the page which allows for those modules to be renamed. However, I then started receiving another Fatal error after saving the changes. This new error was similar and said the following:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Non-static method DropDownHelper::saveDropDown() cannot be called statically in /bitnami/suitecrm/modules/Studio/wizards/RenameModules.php…

Using the same (very helpful) solution you provided for the first one, I was able to make the same change for this method by locating which config file it was in, and then adding “static” to that line of code. In case someone else comes across the same issue, I used grep to locate that config file as follows:

grep -i -r “public function saveDropDown” /bitnami/suitecrm/

Then I updated “public function saveDropDown…” to “public static function saveDropDown…”

I don’t see any other Fatal errors at the moment, so I hope it stays that way. I really appreciate your assistance with this. That was incredibly helpful.

Allow me to re-open. This still needs to be fixed! :-)

Which should be easy now that we know where to fix it - including that second place you discovered.

I'll make a PR if I find the time, and it will be linked to this Issue.

[bitnamiNoob]

Oh, that would be wonderful! Thank you very much. I really appreciate your help. :-)

This issue has been mentioned on SuiteCRM. There might be relevant details there:

I also have the same issue on my fresh setup. I hope the team address this issue soon and get it fixed.

[pgorod]

@jakarina have you tried going here

https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/blob/master/modules/Studio/parsers/StudioParser.php#L164

and changing that "public function" to "public static function" ?

[jpblonshine]

Has there been any progress on a solution? I too have updated the code and am now stuck at the second screen.

I am running SuiteCRM 8.1.2-6 on AWS with PHP 8.0.20

Already changed public function to public static function. All permissions are verified as correct.

Any FATALs in the logs at the time that "second screen" (whatever that is exactly) is loading?
