Siteground template error after upgrading Joomla RC3 to RC4

[RuudM]

Hello,

This fine template works fine with RC3 but after my upgrade not any more on RC4. After uploading RC4 (nb 4-1-08) I got the error

Fatal error: Call to a member function getItems() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/templates/siteground/sg_menus/SGMenu.php on line 87

line 87 reads: "$rows = $menu->getItems( 'menutype', 'topmenu' );"

What does this line do? Which menu? Could it be related to the fact that I have deleted the top-right menu-code in the html?

Thx for any help.

It is quite difficult to debug a modified Joomla installation using the data, posted in the forum.

Please post a ticket in the Script Installation Help category through your Customer Area->Get Support->Get Support-Help Desk and we will try to resolve the issue which you have experienced.

Thanks for your reply, let me first refrase the question: is the standard Siteground template working fine on Joomla RC4?

[Svetlio]

In order to check the issue I have just downloaded the SiteGround's template and set it in a fresh Joomla 1.5 RC4 installation. There were no error messages.

Probably there were some additional modifications in your Joomla web site and they caused the issue.

Please post a ticket regarding the issue and provide us with detailed instructions on how to recreate the problem at our end. Then it will be easier to look for a solution.

You can fix this easily if you don't need cascading ,menus.

Go to the template administration and enter the Siteground configuration.

Then turn off cascading top menu.

If you need them then you may need to change code but can't help you there.

Fatal error: Call to a member function getItems() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\templates\siteground\sg_menus\SGMe nu.php on line 87

I got it working! there is some wrong coding in the sgmenu.php file!

[mmorris]

change the following text on line 83 from:
$menu = @JMenu :: getInstance();
to:$menu = JSite :: getMenu();
