Hi, installation of CB Field Groups was succesful, but application in practice had problems. I made a new CB field and chose type 'Group Field'. But after saving I got the following message:
"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near 'json' at line 2".
The CB support forum tells somewhere: “MariaDB is not supported [by Community Builder]. We're not able to properly detect SQL support for JSON columns in MariaDB either. MySQL 5.7.8+ is recommended to properly fully support JSON columns otherwise it will fallback to using a TEXT column. I've no idea how this behavior will work on MariaDB since again it's not supported.”
My host provider told me that they can't help me, because it is beyond their expertise. They make use of MariaDB 10.1+ in combination with libmysql - 5.6.43.
What is my next step? I am no expert. Am I the only one with this problem? Does CB Field Groups end here for me, unless I hire an expert?
