can't change settings: Joomla\CMS\Form\Form::validateField() rule `cgform` missing

[catconner]

Joomla version 3.10.12 (yes I know it needs upgrading, I'm currently doing so and I'm trying to replace the old version of AutoReadMore to make it compatible with the Joomla 4 upgrade)

Is this plugin still compatible with Joomla 3?

When I try to set and save the plugin settings, I get the error:

Joomla\CMS\Form\Form::validateField() rule cgform missing

It also seems the plugin isn't working even with the default settings.

Sorry, should have also included the call stack -- but it seems there is a validation rule being called that doesn't exist?

Ah in looking further, here on the Github page it says supports J4/J5 -- but the listing on the Joomla extensions site (https://extensions.joomla.org/extension/auto-read-more/) has a description that reads "Adds Readmore button automatically for Joomla 3.10/J4.x/J5.x articles".

I guess this description is wrong?

Hi,

Autoreadmore version 5.1.5 is supposed to be compatible with J3.10.

After upgrading to Joomla 4.x or 5.x, a J4.x/5.x compatible version of this plugin will be proposed : version 5.3.3.

I'm checking your issue and come back to you as soon as possible.

I just made some tries in a J3.10 website and I cannot reproduce your issue. Which autoreadmore plugin version are you working with ?

[conseilgouz]

OK, I found it : it's possible to load latest version of the plugin in a Joomla 3.10 version when it should not.

I'm fixing it so that it loads the correct version when running J3.10. I'll let you know when it's available.

Kind regards,

Pascal

Thank you for the quick reply! Just to confirm -- the version I downloaded and installed is indeed 5.3.3.

I'm happy to install version 5.1.5 and then update it once I move to Joomla 4, but if you can correct the installer, that would be super.

[catconner]

I put in version 5.1.5 and it's working beautifully. Thank you again!

Latest Version 5.3.4 blocks installation if Joomla 3.10 is detected; It then proposes a link to version 5.1.5.

Thank you telling me about this issue.

Kind regards,

Pascal
