ERROR With The Fixter Template: Update The Quickstart Joomla 4 Package!
Ximware
When installing the Joomla 4 Quickstart from the Fixter template I get the following error:
'An error has occurred. 0 Missing field in database: Joomla extension   extension_id.'

I saw other posts mentioning this error but the JoomShaper team has not prioritized this bug. At this time CMS Joomla is unusable.

Sorry for your experience.
Would you please let us know which PHP version are you using there?
However, here is the technical requirements for Fixter template and quickstart installation process:

Accepted AnswerHello Rashida,
I was able to solve it, but I feel that JoomShaper should update their Quickstart packages and put both Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 versions, and obviously support PHP 8.1 onwards. My suggestion is to try to go with the minimum requirements supported and in some cases, recommended by Joomla.
This is what I did:
- I downgraded PHP 8.1 to PHP 7.4 at my hosting provider.
- I installed the quickstart package of the Fixter template for Joomla 4.
- I upgraded both Joomla and the extensions that come with the quickstart package offered by JoomShaper.
- When I managed to upgrade to Joomla 4.4.4, I was able to upgrade the PHP version back to 8.1.
- I upgraded to Joomla 5.
Now the site is working properly. No problems with any of the JoomShaper extensions, including the template.
I repeat... JoomShaper needs to put more love in the quickstart packages. Especially on older templates like Fixter.
