I just released version 1.2.3. Upgrade and the problem should be gone.

I have an issue

ProcessModule: Module “ProcessPageViewStat” exists in database but not on the file system. Consider placing the module files in /site/modules/ProcessPageViewStat/ or removing the module from the database.

 

But whether I delete it from the database or add the module folder to the modules folder, in both cases I get:
 

Hmm… Fatal Error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function render() on null in wire/modules/Process/ProcessModule/ProcessModule.module:995
 

And can't do anything else anymore…

 

What to do? I'm lost…

This is not related to the module it's self. Therefore no support here.

Yes, my bad, It happened because I downgraded to an older version of ProcessWire unintentionally when moving things around.

Cheers

Try the "Refresh" button on the module page. Maybe it will fix your problems.

I tried that, didn't help. However, once I upgraded my /wire/ folder, no conflicts anymore and I was able to uninstall. So ProcessPageViewStat was never the problem apparently. I could reinstall it actually. Thanks!

Couple of issues with this module, which I can't post on Github because there's no issues page for the repo:

1. In its current state it throws errors with PHP 8.2 (ProcessPageViewStat.module lines 447 and 448) - it should check if these array elements exist before assigning them.

2. I'm unable to select text on its admin page unless I disable JavaScript. Looks like code in func/javascript.php is preventing this. 

Will a fixed release be available at some point? Thanks. I'm running version 1.2.3 which I believe is the latest.

1. With which IP-address you call this page? Is this IP-address in the current IP2LOCATION https://www.ip2location.com/ database? Is the database in the module updated in the last few weeks? The IP-address has a "countryName" and "countryCode"? Do you have DEBUG-Mode deactivated as recommended in production mode?

2. The javascript contains nothing which prevents text selection. Please have a look in the developer console of your browser. Also deactivate "Record admin template".

[DrewPH]

1. Localhost and some IPv6 addresses. So the IP address doesn't have a countryName or countryCode - that's the error I was getting. My reason for reporting is that the module should check whether these elements exist in order to eliminate the possibility of these errors. My fix on my local installation is this:

        $country_name = isset($temp_records['countryName']) ? $temp_records['countryName'] : ''; 
        $country_image = isset($temp_records['countryCode']) ? strtolower($temp_records['countryCode']) : ''; 
 

2. After further checking, it's not javascript.php that causes this (apologies!). It's dragscroll.js. If I prevent the module loading that script, text selection works. From the dragscroll.js Github page:

Keep in mind that now it is not possible to select the content with mouse

It goes on to explain how to preserve text selection by excluding children from the dragscroll behaviour

1. Usually is hasn't to be checked because "countryName" and "countryCode" is always "-" if not found in the database. You can check that: https://www.ip2location.com/demo/127.0.0.1 If the elements not exists there might be something wrong with your IP2LOCATION-database. Please provide the complete error message.

2. DragScroll is a very useful feature on a computer without touch screen. I don't know what you want select/copy there. You can right-click on a link and then do "Copy link". There is nothing else to copy except the time. But it's up to you to comment it out in line 744.

Wait a moment! What says phpinfo for REMOTE_ADDR? Apache Environment as well as PHP Variables.

The elements countryName and countryCode not exists if the database was requested to lookup for an empty IP-address. But function get_ip() returns ALWAYS an IP-address, even if REMOTE_ADDR is not available. So I guess you modified function get_ip().

Nope. No mods whatsoever. Screenshots are attached showing the errors. Backend and frontend. Looks like the whole $temp_records array is false.

This is running on localhost. REMOTE_ADDR is ::1. PHP is 8.2.23.

[tcnet]

If REMOTE_ADDR is ::1 then the error would occur in line 437 and 438.

[tcnet]

Ok, I found the problem. Wait a minute.

[tcnet]

Local IPv6 address ::1 was false identified as an IPv4 address. Fixed in version 1.2.4 now available.

[DrewPH]

OK, great, thanks, I'll check it out.

I'd still recommend tweaking your dragscroll config so that text can be selected with the mouse. Developers hate being prevented from doing that, and dragscroll doesn't seem to work on my browser anyway (Brave Mac latest). I'm not sure why it is included to be honest - can you clarify?

But you can select the whole line. You just have to start selection very left side.

Not on my browser. If I do that, I either get nothing, or the whole content from the top of the table. Nothing in between. 

But as I say, text selection with mouse is just one of those UI things that shouldn't be messed with, like scrollbar behaviour.
