[Vtigercrm-developers] Recurring Invoices?

[Alan Lord]

Thanks Joe,

That helped me find what was going on...

This vtiger system is migrated from vtiger 5.2.1 to vtiger 6.4.0.

When I started investigating I ran the 
cron/modules/SalesOrder/RecurringInvoice.service script from the command 
line (as the apache user).

There were no errors in the debug log and Invoices were being created 
_every_ time I ran it. The last_recurring_date column in the database 
was not getting updated either.

Enabling php errors in the script produced this output:

> PHP Fatal error:  Class 'Vtiger_Language_Handler' not found in /var/www/vtiger/vtlib/Vtiger/Deprecated.php on line 584

Remember that the cron script _was_ still creating a new Invoice every 
time this script ran despite producing this error...

I've seen this error before ;-)

So at the top of the cron script I added the line

> require_once('includes/main/WebUI.php');

Now the script runs silently and only creates one Invoice as it should do.

vtiger devs, can you please confirm if this is the right way to fix this 
problem?

Thanks

Al
