Since updating my CiviCRM 4.7.30 on WordPress 4.9.5, I am getting "DB Error: No such field" when doing queries through Advanced Search or Search Builder. Some of the problems where when I was trying to use a Profile to view an Advanced Search and others were related to fields that I was trying to search by (my assumption is that they are fields that need lookups, but I haven't been able to narrow this down yet). Below is an example Search Builder query that I tried and the resulting error that was in the CiviCRM log file located in the /wp-content/uploads/civicrm/ConfigAndLog directory.

The query was to find Organizations that were Not In two designated groups shown in the image below: enter image description here

Not sure if it helps but when I used the Back Key to get back to review my previous query the query screen looked like the following:

The related error in the CiviCRM log file was:

  • Or rerun your group cache rebuild since i see "Unknown > column 'civicrm_group_contact.status'" in your error – petednz - fuzion♦ Apr 27 '18 at 21:14
  • I assume you mean removing all files in my template_c directory. Will give it a try...be back as it takes awhile. – ChaosBuster Apr 27 '18 at 21:54
  • While waiting...I checked my Clean-up Temporary Data and Files scheduled job and it ran with no errors. It executes hourly. – ChaosBuster Apr 27 '18 at 21:59
  • After deleting all files under the templates_c directory, I went to Administer > System Settings > Cleanup Caches and Update Paths and selected Cleanup Caches then Reset Paths. Same DB Error using the same Search Builder query above. – ChaosBuster Apr 27 '18 at 22:05
  • While in the Scheduled Jobs area decided to run some of them related to cache and updates. The following finished execution with Success (1): Update Check and Disable expired relationships. – ChaosBuster Apr 27 '18 at 22:26

It should be fixed in the latest rc (5.2) https://download.civicrm.org/latest

From ChaosBuster: Was able to install the latest at this time, 5.1.2, and I am now able to query with the Search Builder for groups for the situation that was mentioned above.

  • Also note - this affects sites with mysql mode FULL GROUP BY enabled - you can disable that mode in your sql config – user4278 May 8 '18 at 22:10

This may be a bug in 5.0.0. The Drupal Demo site (and our 5.0.0 + Drupal 7 site) fails with a similar message if you try to do a search builder search for Contacts > group = or <>. In our site, the error message also involves 'civicrm_group_contact.status' as an unknown field. Naturally, I can't see the log in the demo site, but the error reported on screen is the same.

I don't know how to post a bug... but hope this might help raise one! (I tried going to the issue tracker, but it's been moved to git hub and I couldn't spot how to report a bug there.)

  • I just tried this on our recently updated 5.0.2rc and same behaviour. – Andyg8 May 8 '18 at 17:59
  • Andyg8, you aren't on rc 5.2, correct? You indicated 5.0.2rc..same as my version. user4278 indicated a few minutes ago that this was fixed in 5.2. I will be out all day tomorrow and not willing to do the change the day before, but willing to give it a go later this week. – ChaosBuster May 8 '18 at 21:53
  • Yes, I am on 5.0.2rc. And there is indeed a bug associated with this behaviour - at least in our case: lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/issues/106. I believe it has been fixed for 5.2rc. – Andyg8 May 9 '18 at 20:29

If logging is enabled, try disabling logging and re-enabling logging. I had a somewhat similar error, but it's different enough that it may not be the same issue.

  • I tried this (+ resetting session) before posting. Thanks for helping me remember though, so others will know. ;-) – ChaosBuster Apr 27 '18 at 21:53

This may be related to my issue too - in the meantime, i found (due to the great answer Jon gave) that doing search -> custom search -> include / exclude search - I was able to get the results I wanted.
