Jooma 3 .10 Website Breaks When Updating SPPagebuilder To Recommnded 5.4.6

SP Page Builder 5 months ago

Hi Guys,

I am trying to use Cloudfare Turnstile and to do this I need to update the version of SPPB to 5.4.6 as per your Documentation as this is the most recent version still compatible with version Joomla 3.10.

I can not upgrade the Template to J4 or 5, as the developers last update was in 2021 (J 3.9) and I have tried to contact them to see if they would be updating the J4 / 5 ... but no response.

So I thought I'd at least update the SPPB to 5.4.6, as this may allow me to select Turnstile in the form maker in SPPB, as the site is being hit with Massive email spam on the Contact use FORM, which only has Googles reCapthca running, but BOTS can get around this easily now days with AI>.

So when I try to update the site which is 3.10.12, to have SPPB 5.4.6, it breaks the FRONTEND of the site... and I get the following error in the BACKEND

Warning JInstaller: :Install: Error SQL Duplicate column name 'is_favorite' Extension Update: SQL error processing query: DB function failed with error number 1060 Duplicate column name 'is_favorite' SQL =

ALTER TABLE #__sppagebuilder_addonlist ADD is_favorite tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER status;

Error Error installing component

Any suggestions or if it is possible to fix this issue?

Cheers,

Michael

Hi there!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

To assist you more effectively, may I kindly request temporary administrative access to your site? This will allow me to thoroughly investigate and resolve the issue for you.

Before sharing the credentials, I strongly recommend taking a complete backup of your site to ensure all data remains secure.

Looking forward to your response.

Best regards

Hi Atick,

Thank you for the reply. I was updating on a MAMP server not to effect the live site.

I will need to put this on a temporary server for you. Once I have done this I will give you creditials.

I was also hoping to update it to J4 or 5.. as well, but when I do this as well... it breaks the site as the original author has not update the template to J4, it's still 3.9.

The error I get is = "Error Unable to detect manifest file."

Anyway, thanks for the assistance.. will let you know the Login details once I have done this for you.

Cheers.

Hi Atick,

Sorry for the late reply... but I have done a work around, using another 3rd party plugin for the CONTACT FORM, so I could insert the 'Cloudfare' recaptcha, but I would like to take this site to J4 or 5. I would much prefer just to use SPPB, but there is no option for Cloudfare in my ver 3.

Cheers,

Michael

Indeed Cloudfare Turnstile plugin and support for that is ONLY for Joomla 4/5 and SPPB 5.5.x

And nobody will do it for not supported Joomla 3.10 for obvious reasons. I am not sure if you saw, but even updates for J3.10 CMS are extra paid, delivered by one company.


if you have to keep Joomla 3 by now, use ReCaptcha and extra anti-spam plugins.

Apologies for the inconvenience and the delayed response over the weekend.

I’ve checked your website and found that the template you’re using is not developed by JoomShaper. Additionally, it appears that this template overrides some of the SP Page Builder addons, which may affect their default behavior and compatibility.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to provide support for third-party templates. I recommend reaching out to the template developer to confirm if an updated version is available for Joomla 4 or 5.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards

Hi Atick,

Thank you for your reply. I did reach out the 3rd party, (several times) and they used SPPB to build the whole site, but unfortunately they have not responded... after contacting them. I guess I will just keep trying to get a response from them, but I do not like my chances.

Thank you for your help... I just wish it would update to J4 / 5 ... so I can use SPPB but it seems there is no way to do this. :(

Cheers,

Michal

Maybe those extra addons they added you may even don't need. Or you can find local freelancer (in your city) who can fix its code for $.

Hi Paul,

Yes, thank you for the recommendation, but I do not know any Freelancers... but I'm sure there are many in Australia where I am located... which maybe something I need to follow up on... but my only worry is as Joomla keeps being updated, that I will continue to pay this Freelancer ongoing is future updates could cause issues, as I may be better just to start from scratch using a Joomshaper Template... (even though this current site is fully built on an older version of SPPB)

WORK AROUND: In regard to how I did a work around to use Cloudfare, if someone else is in the same position... even though the current version of SPPB 5.3.4 - will not work on J3.10, I found a component (Convert Forms) that does have the Cloudfare 'Turnstile option' for recaptcha, as the SPPB 3.8.7 ... only has the Google Recaptcha option.

I hope this helps!!!

Cheers, Michael

Yes, Convert Form is very trusted form builder from sunny Greece. I use it for many years, also inside SPPB by its module. And indeed it include many captcha options, also v3 and mentioned. Even his Free (Core) version do the job :)
