Error for viewed products extension

[rvalani]

Hi I am using this viewed Products extension and it was working fine untill I upgraded my version to 1.2.8 now it throws me error "SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 621, 633) AND customer_group_id = '1' AND ((date_start = '0000-00' at line 3 in /home/amer/public_html/live_128/core/database/apdomysql.php on line 54" and takes me to static_pages/index.php And if I turn off this extension it work fine I get this error when the site is loaded for first time and I click on any product
I tried edit the controller for this extension at line 145 with private function getProductsfromIDs($products) {
if (!$products) {
return array();
}
foreach ($products as $k => $v){
if($v == ""){
unset($products[$k]);
}
}
But still it is not working and throwing me error
Can you guys please help me?

can you switch to amysqli database driver in config.php to check?

Tried that and it throws an error

Fatal error: Class 'mysqli' not found in /home/amer/public_html/live_128/core/database/amysqli.php on line 46

Go thru cPanel to you sql database and change date_start to 1970-01-01.  Common sql error. You could crank the date up to anywhere as long as it's not "0"

May or may not work, but the date_start can throw an error. I have come across this problem elsewhere.
