Conclict between CB subs and DocMan

I encountered an error on a website when trying to download a document through the DocMan extension. I reported the error to DocMan support and they have given this response:

Thank you for granting us access. So, the problem here is a clash between CB subs and DOCman => drops.arunasmazeika.com/Screen-Shot-2024-02-08-10-54-08.58.png . CB subs is attempting to forward/handle an event of ours but it's being a tad too restrictive while doing so, since it's assuming that the parameters argument is and should always be an array.

Normally plugins or code that acts upon an event should always be context aware, meaning that they should not be assuming specific types or anything of that sort for handling the event. They could and always should assume types depending on the context that's passed within the event in question. In our case the context clearly states that this is a DOCman specific event and thus the parameters argument should be handled as such (a menu item parameter object decorated by our own).

I think you'll need to bring this up to the CB devs and ask them their advice about this issue.

Can you please look into this problem ?

$params is being reset. So that looks like a bug. Have created a bug ticket to fix.

Joomla 3, Joomla 4, and Joomla 5 all handle that event differently. It's a bit of a headache to say the least trying to support all 3 versions.

Will try to have a fix out sometime today or tomorrow.

This should now be fixed in latest CBSubs build release. The context check is also now much sooner on Joomla 4 and 5.
