Group-specific properties does not add a new record to groupprop_xx table

[kdwinton]

ChurchCRM 4.4.5.
Browser doesn't matter.
mysql Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.5.10-MariaDB, for Linux (x86_64).
AWS t2.micro instance with Amazon Linux amzn2-ami-kernel-5.10-hvm-2.0.20220406.1-x86_64-gp2
Apache/2.4.53
PHP 7.4.28

Workflow:

1. add people, create a group, put people into the group
2. edit group to enable group-specific properties, define at least one property and enable it to be visible on the person view
3. attempt to add a value for that new property on one of the group's members
4. there is no error, but no record is created in groupprop_xx

Explanation:
The code in GroupPropsEditor.php only does a DB UPDATE. If you added the group property definition after the person was already in the group, there is no record "automatically" added at that time. Subsequently, if you try to edit (really, add) one, it UI functions as expected for that task, but no data is written to the db because it's only doing an UPDATE. If you manually add an appropriate record to the DB and go try again, the update works fine.

I have done a temporary fix on my installation by adding in the TEMPORARY FIX lines below. This simply checks and if no row has been retrieved, it adds a row, so that the existing logic later on will always find a row to update.

`// First Pass
// we are always editing, because the record for a group member was created when they were added to the group
// Get the existing data for this group member
$sSQL = 'SELECT * FROM groupprop_'.$iGroupID.' WHERE per_ID = '.$iPersonID;
$rsPersonProps = RunQuery($sSQL);

// TEMPORARY FIX I added this "if statement, and put the existing line inside its "else" clause
if (mysqli_num_rows($rsPersonProps) == 0) {
$sSQL = 'INSERT into groupprop_'.$iGroupID.' (per_ID) values ('.$iPersonID .')';
RunQuery($sSQL);
}
else {
$aPersonProps = mysqli_fetch_array($rsPersonProps, MYSQLI_BOTH);
}`

Hi Any update on a fix for this?

[hafizaqibshafique]

Hello,
I fixed this issue and now it's storing the properties details without any issues. go to this file GroupPropsEditor.php

Replace this piece of code
` if (!$bErrorFlag) {
mysqli_data_seek($rsPropList, 0);

    $sSQL = 'UPDATE groupprop_'.$iGroupID.' SET ';

    while ($rowPropList = mysqli_fetch_array($rsPropList, MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
        extract($rowPropList);
        echo $currentFieldData = trim($aPersonProps[$prop_Field]);

        sqlCustomField($sSQL, $type_ID, $currentFieldData, $prop_Field, $sPhoneCountry);
    }

    // chop off the last 2 characters (comma and space) added in the last while loop iteration.
    $sSQL = mb_substr($sSQL, 0, -2);

    $sSQL .= ' WHERE per_ID = '.$iPersonID;
    
    echo $sSQL;

    //Execute the SQL
    RunQuery($sSQL);

    // Return to the Person View
    RedirectUtils::Redirect('PersonView.php?PersonID='.$iPersonID);
}`

with this updated code

`if (!$bErrorFlag) {
mysqli_data_seek($rsPropList, 0);

$sSQL = "SELECT * FROM groupprop_".$iGroupID." WHERE per_ID = ".$iPersonID;
$result = mysqli_query($connection, $sSQL);

if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    // Data found, perform an update
	$sSQL = "UPDATE groupprop_".$iGroupID." SET ";

	while ($rowPropList = mysqli_fetch_array($rsPropList, MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
		extract($rowPropList);
		$currentFieldData = trim($aPersonProps[$prop_Field]);

        // Add dynamic column to the update query
		if (!empty($currentFieldData) &&  $currentFieldData !== null ) {
                  // Add dynamic column to the update query
			$sSQL .= $prop_Field . " = '" . InputUtils::LegacyFilterInput($currentFieldData) . "', ";
		}

	}

    // Chop off the last 2 characters (comma and space) added in the last while loop iteration.
	$sSQL = mb_substr($sSQL, 0, -2);

	$sSQL .= " WHERE per_ID = ".$iPersonID;



    // Execute the SQL
	RunQuery($sSQL);
} else {
    // No data found, perform an insert
	$columns = '';
	$values = '';

	mysqli_data_seek($rsPropList, 0);
	while ($rowPropList = mysqli_fetch_array($rsPropList, MYSQLI_BOTH)) {
		extract($rowPropList);
		$currentFieldData = trim($aPersonProps[$prop_Field]);


        // Add dynamic column to the insert query
		$columns .= $prop_Field.", ";
		$values .= "'".InputUtils::LegacyFilterInput($currentFieldData)."', ";

	}

    // Chop off the last 2 characters (comma and space) added in the last while loop iteration.
	$columns = mb_substr($columns, 0, -2);
	$values = mb_substr($values, 0, -2);


	$sSQL = "INSERT INTO groupprop_".$iGroupID." (per_ID, ".$columns.") VALUES (".$iPersonID.", ".$values.")";



    // Execute the SQL
	RunQuery($sSQL);
}

// Return to the Person View
RedirectUtils::Redirect('PersonView.php?PersonID='.$iPersonID);

}`

Hi -- in version 5.3.0 this bug seems to have reappeared, but adding the fix above to the GroupPropsEditor.php file no longer works -- it results in the error:
This page isn't working at the moment xxx.xxx can't currently handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500
Can you advise?

[hafizaqibshafique]

Ok Let me check it
