Hi,

When I submit the rating form in detail.php, I got the fatal error code as follow:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/lib/link.class.php on line 2454


Can anyone help me to make it work please...

Thanks

Hi,

did you change some code in detail.php or html template? If so, upload the old files again and check if there is still an error.

Hi,

Thanks for reply!!!

No, I didnt change the detail.php and html file. I install InDEXU 3.1 with patch plus the Chinese version pack...

I still get error even I change back to default template file ( English Template ).... Error still there as follow:


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/lib/link.class.php on line 2454


Anyone know this problem or experienced this before Please Help

Thanks

the reason for a "Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in ... /lib/link.class.php on line 2454" errors is that the program is trying to do something with the results of a "query"and there were no results ( or unexpected results ).

for example, in the rating process, INDEXU does a TABLE INSERT to the votes table (a "query" ). If there is no table called votes, you will get the above "Fatal error:" or if the rating value passed to the RateLink function is not acceptable for some unknown reason, the query will fail and cause the error.

in the RateLink function you could try inserting a print statement after the query statements to see the actual query

$query = "select ip from $this->votes_table_name where link_id = $id and ip = '$ip'";
echo "<br>\$query= " . $query;

I found that the whole database is empty when I first time
installed it. I guess it did not create dabatase at all. So I upload the install.php and reinstall it. Now this time the script do create database and rate function works.

I guess probably i put the wrong database name or something on first time installation cos I create database name first under phpMyadmin then put the DB name on the install.php.


Thanks
