Pages display unformatted menus only - php error recorded - new install

[mbrubaker]

There is a bug with MySQL 5.5.x where, as I understand it, MySQL header files are being placed in locations where they are not being found by PHP. See http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=58987

I uninstalled MySQL 5.5.8 and installed 5.1.54, then reinstalled CMSMS 1.9.2. Everything seems to work fine now.

I have got absolutely the same problem (as in the initial post) with my brand new installation:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in C:\server\htdocs\ndk\tmp\templates_c\News^%%18^186^1863A414%%module_db_tpl%3ANews%3BsummaryDefault.php on line 26

Actually the problem is located in the default news summary template. There are incorrect references to the object's properties within this template.

The variable $node is the stdClass object and it is necessary to use '->' syntax (instead of dots) to access its properties. Dots are used to get array elements by keys.

awebtech,

I am an absolute new comer to CMS Made Simple and have run into the same error you described.
Actually, I installed Version 1.9.2 on my Windows 7 machine (with the latest WAMPServer2.1d-x64), and everything works fine.
(There are warnings for the date functions on the 'Tags in core' page, but the Fatal error does not occur.)

However, I when I install V 1.9.2 on my XP machines ( with the latest WAMPServer2.1e-x32), I do get the fatal error.
I have experimented with the code changing $node. to $node-> in several files but with no success.
Would you please tell me in exactly which files you made these changes?
Thanks.

EDIT: Hmm. I followed the suggestion of mbrubaker & PaulMacFarlane below and installed MySQL5.1.54 x32 on my XP machines, and everything works as expected.
Go figure.

For absolute newcomers -

Go to [Content] [News] [Summary Templates] then select the sample template

Replace the entire contents with this ...

<!-- Start News Display Template -->
{* This section shows a clickable list of your News categories. *}
<ul class="list1">
{foreach from=$cats item=node}
{if $node->depth > $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="<ul>" times=$node->depth-$node->prevdepth}
{elseif $node->depth < $node->prevdepth}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->prevdepth-$node->depth}
</li>
{elseif $node->index > 0}</li>
{/if}
<li{if $node->index == 0} class="firstnewscat"{/if}>
{if $node->count > 0}
<a href="{$node->url}">{$node->news_category_name}</a>{else}<span>{$node->news_category_name} </span>{/if}
{/foreach}
{repeat string="</li></ul>" times=$node->depth-1}</li>
</ul>

{* this displays the category name if you're browsing by category *}
{if $category_name}
<h1>{$category_name}</h1>
{/if}

{* if you don't want category browsing on your summary page, remove this line and everything above it *}

{/if}
</div>
{/foreach}
{/if}

</div>
{/foreach}
<!-- End News Display Template -->
