PHP error on Matomo

[G4Zz0L1]

I don't know if this plugin is still maintained, but I'll report it anyway. The plugin on Matomo returns the following error:

PHP Notice:  Trying to access array offset on value of type bool in /usr/share/webapps/matomo/plugins/BotTracker/BotTracker.php on line 141

I no longer use Piwik/Matomo so there will be no features in this plugin - at least not from me. But I will try to fix errors so others can use it. Just give me some time to setup a test enviroment....

[G4Zz0L1]

If I may, which software replaced your piwik/matomo instance? Thanks for the trouble to fix this, even if you don't use it anymore.

[Thomas--F]

I don't need an analysing-tool anymore because we shut down our shop-webpage. Today I maintain only some non-profit-pages which are mainly for members. So I don't have the urge to analyse the visitors.

OK, my test enviroment ist running now on Matomo 3.13.5. Where did you get the error?

[Thomas--F]

I'm a little bit confused... The PHP Notice is thrown in "BotTracker/BotTracker.php on line 141" In this line is a simple string with a log-path defined. No array, no bool.

Which version are you running? 1.06?

[G4Zz0L1]

Yep, I've just checked, v1.06

[Thomas--F]

What enviroment do you use? PHP-Version, Matomo-Version?

[G4Zz0L1]

PHP 7.4.6 with matomo 3.13.5 on an Arch machine

[Thomas--F]

OK, I've updates PHP to 7.4.6 and now I get the same PHP notice but on line 114 (not 141). I've fixed the "error". If you want to test it, just download and exchange the file "BotTracker.php". I will do some more tests and then I commit a new release.

[G4Zz0L1]

Thanks, I'll try it as soon as I have some time to test it

fixed on version 2.0 for Matomo 4
