Error Table::store() for #__ce_messages Field 'email_cc' doesn't have a default

Hallo,

When I send an email with the contact form in the frontend, the error message appears and no message is saved in backend:
Error Table::store() for #__ce_messages Field 'email_cc' doesn't have a default.

I have updated to the latest version.
Joomla 4.2.2 - Contact Enhanced Pro 4.2 - PHP 7.4.30

many thanks and regards

Dear Gabi,

Is this a fresh Contact Enhanced installation, or have you updated it from Joomla 3.9?

Do you have access to PHPMyAdmin? If so, can you please run the following SQL statements one by one? Just replace #__ with your Joomla database table prefix.
Don't worry if you get errors executing the first 3 statements, it means the statements were already executed correctly when you first migrated Contact Enhanced to Joomla 4.

Best regards,

Hi Douglas,

thank you very much for your quick answer.

Sorry, but die Script doesn´t work.
I changed the prefix and copied and insert the scripts

First:
'id' doesn`t exist in the table #_ce_message_fields.

Error at the script:
ALTER TABLE `#__ce_message_fields` ADD PRIMARY KEY( `message_id`, `field_id`),
CHANGE `value` `value` MEDIUMTEXT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci NULL;
- Message -> #1068 - Multible primary key defined (PRIMARY KEY)

ALTER TABLE `#__ce_messages`
ADD `checked_out` INT(10) UNSIGNED NULL DEFAULT NULL AFTER `utm_campaign`,
ADD `checked_out_time` DATETIME NULL AFTER `checked_out`;
- Message -> #1060 - duplicate column name

ALTER TABLE `#__ce_messages`

Hi Douglas,

Thanks a lot

Dear Gabi,

I was expecting to see all these errors except the last one. I was just checking the MySQL database documentation and the latest versions do not allow zero dates by default. We already knew that and Contact Enhanced no longer uses zero dates. However, we didn't expect to have a problem with existing values.

In order to fix that, please run the SQL Statement below and the last one from my previous post.
I've already added this to the update script for the next version.

Let me know if you encounter any further issues.

Have a blessed weekend,

Hallo Douglas,

thank you for your help.

Now the recorded messages are shown in backend and there is no error by sending the form.

much regards

Gabi
