I am immediately receiving a 500 error whenever I go to the Cart page on our site. The only error log I can find is the following:

[27-Dec-2012 16:37:08] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDate::format() in /home/bestdamn/public_html/administrator/components/com_awocoupon/helpers/estore/estorecouponhandler.php on line 50

Any ideas?

Hello,

What version of Joomla are you using?

We're running Joomla 1.5.25 and Virtuemart 2.0.12

Ok, here is some code to fix the problem:

in /home/bestdamn/public_html/administrator/components/com_awocoupon/helpers/estore/estorecouponhandler.php
line 50
AND
line 225 is this
<?php $current_date = JFactory::getDate('now',JFactory::getConfig()->get('offset'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s',true); ?>

change them both to this
<?php $current_date = version_compare( JVERSION, '1.6.0', 'ge' ) ? JFactory::getDate('now',JFactory::getConfig()->get('offset'))->format('Y-m-d H:i:s',true) : JFactory::getDate(time(),JFactory::getConfig()->getValue ( 'offset' )*-1)->toFormat('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'); ?>

That should fix the error

Thanks! That fixed the 500 error! However, it's still not working. I get the following error message:

FREESTUFF: Coupon code not found. Please try again.

even though I have created and published the coupon and the plugin.

Is this a version problem because we're running Virtuemart 2.0 with Joomla 1.5? Would it be easier to upgrade Joomla?

It should not be a version problem. Go to awocoupon->configuration->error messages and change the error messages to something identifiable, then run it again on the front end to see why its failing.
