fatal erroe : sems like php or permission problem

[akronim]

hi there
i get this error when try to using ellnav module
averything else seems to go right but...

{nocache:7594236932d156fe14392818ae5edccc#1}
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /srv/www/htdocs/******/modules/EllNav/EllNav.module.php on line 218

seems like a php problem or permission problem
all temp-cache directory are chmod 777
i'v version 0.11.2
PHP Version 4.3.3

any idea?

This doesn't look like a permissions problem.

It's in the line where the menu tries to find where the current page fits in the Hierarchy.

It's not generating that error for me. Have you tried clearing your cache (admin > site admin > global settings > clear cache) ?

[akronim]

yes i've tryed
but it is shown even in the default install
an only in ellNav

FWIW I get a similar error and haven't been able to figure it out.

[sjg]

OK. Sounds like a consistent problem. I'll have to set up a fresh install and see if I can track the problem down there.

[badhoy]

Just tested again and had exact same error.  Getting it on 3 sites.

[sjg]

OK. Found it. It's actually a bug in PHP 4.3.3. But it's not hard to work around...

You'll have to edit CMS_ROOT/modules/EllNav/EllNav.module.php

At line 165, insert the following:

Code: Select all

global $gCms;

Then, at line 213 (which used to be line 212), replace

Code: Select all

            $curPageID = $this->cms->variables['content_id'];

with

Code: Select all

            $curPageID = $gCms->variables['content_id'];

That should make it work. I've tested this under later versions of PHP, and it still works there after the fix, so I'll merge the change into svn.

Take it easy,

With your description I was able to solve the problem with ellnav, first...

But if i try to make a new template with an existing or new code i get an error message
like this
{nocache:d0c7235777f772d5db28b036d33e6849#0} Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in .../public_html/cms/modules/EllNav/EllNav.module.php on line 219

So I can use only the existing, original templates but no new ones.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem?
