Updated to 2.5.3 and now get these errors when submitting a safecracker form - it worked in the previous version.

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined index: checkbox_fields

Filename: libraries/safecracker_lib.php

Line Number: 1210

Any info on this possibly being a bug introduced in 2.5.3?...or maybe just two of us having a very similar case of operator error

Thanks,
Glen

Was able to track my issue down to operator error.  As Emily Littella would say… Nevermind

Thanks,
Glen

I’m getting a very similar error to what’s in the original post:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined index: checkbox_fields
Filename: libraries/safecracker_lib.php
Line Number: 1210

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /system/codeigniter/system/core/Exceptions.php:170)
Filename: libraries/Functions.php
Line Number: 402

The code for my Safecracker form was working fine in EE 2.5.0, but I’m now get the above error in 2.5.3.

I didn’t even have any checkbox fieldtypes installed. I tried installing the checkbox fieldtype, but still got the error. I also tried adding a checkbox onto my form (in case this issue is caused by one not being there), but that didn’t help either. I also stripped my form down to just a title, but still got the error. So I guess Safecracker is not usable unless I’m missing something here.

I’ve just tried commenting out lines 1210-1216 in libraries/safecracker_lib.php (this code appear to be new in 2.5.3) and that stops the errors from appearing when submitting a form:

foreach (explode('|', $_POST['checkbox_fields']) as $checkbox)
  {
   if ( ! isset($_POST[$checkbox]))
   {
    $_POST[$checkbox] = '';
   }
  }

However, I’ve got no idea what the above code does or the consequences of taking it out so would appreciate some advice on this.

Thanks,

Ste

Just a quick update - I’ve noticed that I’m only seeing and getting stuck on this error when logged in as a Super Admin. I tried a form submission as a Guest user and it worked fine.

I’ve filed a bug in the bug tracker about this: https://support.ellislab.com/bugs/detail/18233

Hello leeaston and other fellow community members,

This has been reported as a bug. The patch has also been added to the bug.

Can you please try the patch and let me know how it goes? It fixed the issue for me.

Thank you,

I can confirm that the patch resolved the issue for me.

Still seems to be a problem. Getting this error when updating an entry using safecracker, but no error when creating a new entry:

Hey Lee,

Looks like that’s a different albeit similar bug, so I reported that for you here. I see you’ve posted a comment to that bug report, so you’ll be notified of any updates to it!

I’m getting it too. I will wait patiently for a fix.  Thanks guys

Yep, looks like we’ve got a solid solution there. Any more trouble with this or is everyone all set after applying the fix?

Working for me.
