This is because of a missing field in the contribution log table. See the following question and answer for next steps: How can I deal with a missing or corrupt binary ("advanced") log table?

So if you don't care about existing logs, you should just be able to turn logging off then back on, otherwise that post gives some more advice.

For either step, I'd suggest backing up your database first just in case something gets more corrupted.

    Actually turning logging off & back on will not lose any data (the tables are not recreated but extra fields are added when you turn back on). You do stand to lose any logging data you would have otherwise captured over the few minutes while you are turning it off & on

Invoice number is a field that was added some releases earlier than the version you are on - perhaps you need to run the upgrade script by hitting civicrm/upgrade url - although I'm not quite sure how to construct that url in Joomla!

  • I have attempted that but i get an error message that indicates the database has already been upgraded to 4.7.30. I also checked the table and that field is present.

    Might be a trigger that is corrupted. Try SHOW TRIGGERS and see if any reference invoice_number. I say this because the query in the question post doesn't even use the field directly.

  • How do I show triggers

    It's a mysql command, so however you access your database, e.g. phpmyadmin.

  • There is an after insert trigger that copies all of the cells to the contribution log table. I checked and that table does not have the invoice_number field. Sounds like either a bug or the database did not update completely. How do you suggest I resolve it?
