Fatal error occurs when I update from 5.1.1 to 5.2

[baggiho]

I upgrade my indexu today from 5.1.1 to 5.2.0. When I click every catagory in index page http://www.all-business-logo.com, all give me the same error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/allblogo/public_html/lib/category.class.php on line 368

Please help me to solve this problem

I just went from 5.1.1 to 5.2 and have the same problem. What was the fix?

[lexpression]

Ok this problem was fixed with a simple update category path. However now my category structure is messed up.
I've updated it category path as well ask checked the structure. I've also deleted all the cache files. When I click on my main categories they take to a completely different category in my directory. The website is www.slpwebsites.com example click on Speech Language Pathology and it take you to Top > Regional > Albania > Speech Language Pathology

Any ideas?

I'm assuming it is the mod-rewrite. It took me awhile to upgrade, but I didn't notice anyone else having this problem.

There's a fix for this problem http://nicecoder.com/svn/index.php?act=changeset&id=333

Ok, I've made the code change, but my categories are still messed up.

I'm sorry for wrong direction. The correct fix is here: http://nicecoder.com/svn/index.php?act=changeset&id=307

Hi, when I try the above, nothing changes.
The /lib/category.class.php file now looks like this @ line 1011:

$id = $dbConn->Lookup('category_id', 'idx_category_path', "path_with_url like '%\"$path%' order by path asc");

But I still get the same error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function Fields() on a non-object in /var/www/regenerate/links.dutchjoomla.org/lib/category.class.php on line 368

When putting mod_rewrite OFF the problem is gone but how to fix the problem for mod_rewrite ON?

[dody]

Does your web host support mod-rewrite?

My dedicated server does support mod-rewrite, I use it on several other website, and sorry, but I'm not giving anyone my FTP details, If anyone knows a solution I can follow trough on it myself

Try to update category path.
Admin panel > category > update category path

Try to update category path.
Admin panel > category > update category path

I think you should include this as a automated function rather than requiring a click for every addition of a link.

Not that we are lazy, but I am getting plenty of 368 errors and my web server fully supports mod-rewrite with every other scripts that I have.

This problem is critical. Why?

If for some reason this is not done, there will be an error on the page - site is not functioning properly. I get so sick everytime I see this that I am losing every bit of confidence. Now I am getting this while accessing the Admin Area, and I haven't even done any changes to my PHP, MYSQL, nor any IndexU codes. I was simply adding links and starting up the site.

It was fine and after I leave my PC and come back to work again, it happened again. I am feeling so sick of this error.

I think you should include this as a automated function rather than requiring a click for every addition of a link.

Actually we did this in earlier version long ago. But users with so many categories experience slow page load after working with categories. This is caused by complex computation when calculating the category path. So we just add a reminder link for user to perform 'update category path'. I believe most users will agree with this approach.

Yep, Im with Dody on this one..... I think he has done it the right way, I guess if there is spare time could always put in a feature so you can select in the control panel to enable it to be automatically done,

But surely there are better features to spend time on....
