Hi,

I get the following error, when I call the user permissions 

in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given

Any idea?

I can modify every single user account and get a list of all users, only setting permissions doesn't work (it's a migrate of a drupal 7 website).

On a second website, with extactly same configuration and modules, but other user accounts, the permissions can be set.

I'm using the latest version of backdrop.

Thanks for clarifying. I think the issue might be with the slight difference in config structure between D7 and Backdrop and the upgrade path doesn't handle that.

Are you comfortable raising an issue for this in the Issue Queue (GitHub)?

For your current site, opening the settings for the module at /admin/config/content/override-node-options and saving, should set the config correctly and allow you to use PHP 8.3

 

ok, it seems the problem is

ok, it seems the problem is PHP 8.3, on 7.4 I get acces to the page!

Thank you both! 🙏

edit: @onyx, yes it looks like your screenshot, but I can set the PHP Version to 7.4 and wait till the module is updates to work with 8.3

Have a look at the log messages, they should tell you which code/module is producing the error. .../admin/reports/dblog

TypeError: in_array(): Argument #2 ($haystack) must be of type array, null given in in_array() (Zeile 31 von /www/htdocs/.../modules/override_node_options/override_node_options.module).

Can I clarify, is this error happening when you open:

/admin/config/people/permissions or is it when you try to save changes?

What version of PHP are you using?

Hi yorkshirepudding,

the error happens, when I open /admin/config/people/permissions not on saving.

I use PHP 8.3, is it to high?

Try configuring that module first?

If line 30 below is null then you will see this issue in php 8+

Can you try on PHP 8.1?

It will help to know how to narrow down.

Thu, Feb 13, 2025 - 2:04am by Jens2

on PHP 8.1 the error is still there - and my provider marks 8.1 as outdated ;) only 7.4 and 8.3 are marked as "ok"

I've posted the error on Github, hope in correct form, I'm not a developer ;)

edit: the error occurs after saving and switching to PHP 8.3, so I let it to 7.4 at the moment ..
