Product builder issue - cannot redeclare vminfo

[admin]

Dear friends, if you see a fatal errors like
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare vmInfo() (previously declared in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php:81) in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/config.php on line 121

and you are using Product builder extension, we strongly recommend to update your:
\components\com_productbuilder\productbuilder.php

and change this lines
FROM:

Code: Select all

require(JPATH_PBVM_ADMIN.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'config.php');

TO:

Code: Select all

if (!class_exists('VmConfig')) require(JPATH_PBVM_ADMIN.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'config.php');

FROM:

Code: Select all

require(JPATH_PBVM_SITE.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'shopfunctionsf.php');


TO:

Code: Select all

if (!class_exists('shopFunctionsF')) require(JPATH_PBVM_SITE.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'helpers'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'shopfunctionsf.php');

Without this patch you will never be able to load any 3rd party extensions that load virtuemart configuration before the component initialization. They include some cart modules, plugins that need vm config. (seo plugins, shopper group plugins or similar)

Best regards,
Stan
