[solved]Upgrade to 1.9.1: "Modification of config variables is deprecated" error

[CMSmonkey]

Hi Everyone,
I just upgraded a client's site of mine from 1.6 to 1.9.1.  I had the site in maintenance mode and everything seemed fine.  While updating the modules, I noticed that I now receive the following message on the homepage instead of the "maintenance" note:

Fatal error: Modification of config variables is deprecated in filepath/lib/classes/class.cms_config.php on line 50

Any suggestions how to fix this?

FYI, here is what line 48-52 of the above mentioned file state:

Code: Select all

  public function offsetSet($key,$value)
  {
    trigger_error('Modification of config variables is deprecated',E_USER_ERROR);
    $this->_data[$key] = $value;
  }

Could not resolve issue with upgrade, so I wiped the server clean, installed a fresh copy of 1.9.1 and connected back to the database.  So far, so good.

Has anyone resolved this issue with out a complete re-installation?

hmm - looks like the issue is related to the browser cache...As clearing it seems to have resolved the issue on my end.

I got it from abusing config:
$gCms->config["myownuserid"] = $mysqldata['session_user_id'];

Which is rather expected if setting config variables is deprecated, but what is then the correct way to make a variable widely available in cmsms?
