Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay()

[WorkOutMan]

I recently solved this issue by disabling all editors besides JCE 154, and this corrected the errors.

I'm now able to view/edit articles!

Hi All

I just ran into this problem today and found this thread. Thanks to caiorg's excellent post i was able to solve the issue very easily. My problem started aften i uninstalled the content templater component/plugin.

The problem was exactly as caiorg said. There was still a row in the jos_plugins table in the database for the plugin that adds a button to the editor. Just deleted that row and it started working again instantly.

Hope this may help someone with the same problem.

This absolutely did the trick for me.

Thank You so much for your post. I also tried out Content Templater, and once uninstalled.... error.
Your post saved me!!!

Jim

Exactly! Thank you so much all of you! You saved my life!
I uninstalled Content Templater! Not useful! And Seconds later, No way to use the editor and create/edit content!
I followed the instructions, then on my CPanel, opened PhpMyAdmin, selected my site database, selected the "jos_plugins" table, then browsed this table until I found the remaining row "Editor Button - Content Templater". Then I deleted the row!
Everything was working fine instantly!!

Again Thanks Men!!!!

................
To retain full functionality, simply encapsulate the line with a check for the ‘onDisplay’ method as shown below.

// This was the original code that did not check for the method
// $result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);

// Try to authenticate
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}

I am running Joomla 1.5.15 and for my editor.php page the code at line 268 shows a very slightly altered code with the word Test included, e.g. $resultTest rather than $result as Ed provided above.
Taking this into account I modified the code as suggested (see below) and it works great with no more Fatal Error messages and the editor is working fine again!

My modification of Ed's original suggestion

// Try to authenticate -- only add to array if authentication is successful
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$resultTest = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}
if ($resultTest) $result[] = $resultTest;

Thanks Ed, great help!!

THANK YOU GRAHAM! Your code worked great!

This is one from my problems today.

The second is this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /hermes/bosweb/web097/b970/my.website/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 313

Help please!!

[albvitali]

The first error is at admin control panel... the second one is at the live website.
I use joomla 1.5.7 at legacy mode and the admin template is Khepri.

[albvitali]

So!!!!!!

[jbandsma]

I have tried every suggestion offered. Nothing has worked. What do I do now? My client is going to be totally pissed if I have to take the time to totally re-install.

Oh, and the error has changed slightly. Now the php line is not 261, it's 263

[dboyko]

Go to root directory, libraries\joomla\html\editor.php

In line 261 replace

Code:
// Try to authenticate
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);


with


Code:
// Try to authenticate
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}


This code works

Man!!!!
U save my ass. It works!!!!

I will pray to you man!!! Thanks a lot!

5 stars, buddy!!!!

I have 1.5.3 with legacy mode. When Trying to create a new content item I have this fatal error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() in /home/wwwccnt/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 263

-------------------------
i also facing the same problem.
Recently I'm using a Datso Gallery extension to view a picture in my website. That's what happened.

What i have done is, unable this plugins:
Datso Picbutton
Search-Datsogallery
Datso Pic

now.....coming back to normal.

Suggestion is, check back the latest extension you installed, then try to unable one by one and see how.....good luck

[samiam]

button conflict, good call. xmap plug-in. That was out of left field..

[soshe]

Changing code as suggested Worked Perfectly on Joomla Version 1.5.15

Thanks a Ton !

[ebruml]

I have the same problem as everyone else. I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() in /home/ebruml/public_html/joomla/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 268

When i look at the file there is this code:
// Try to authenticate -- only add to array if authentication is successful
$resultTest = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
if ($resultTest) $result[] = $resultTest;
}

return $result;
}

What should it say to get the editor to work... I am really desperate to resolve this issue.

[Timeisnow]

for me, was seyret button - I had just enabled it, was wondering why it was off... now I know why... - Some advice: If you change things, remember everything you changed, so you can figure out what caused a problem.

I recently solved this issue by disabling all editors besides JCE 154, and this corrected the errors.

I'm now able to view/edit articles!

you didnt have to do that

[corrado444]

Code: Select all

My modification of Ed's original suggestion

// Try to authenticate -- only add to array if authentication is successful
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$resultTest = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}
if ($resultTest) $result[] = $resultTest;

I could kiss you. Works great in Joomla 1.5.17

[vlewis]

Thanks for the postings. I had installed (then uninstalled) Sourcerer but the Editor Button was still enabled.
I am sooo glad I didn't have to do a reinstall.
Huge Thanks and sigh of relief.

I have the same error with Joomla 1.5.18 and addcustomtag - $document->addCustomTag($return);

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JDocumentRAW::addCustomTag() in /home/site/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 111

any suggestion for solution?

[andyhelico]

I encounter this error since 1.5.15 and run those steps ever since. Sad - I updated my site to 1.5.18 recently and got that error message again. I would suggest implementing that solution into Joomla core or into your upgrade and test procedures. Otherwise you get that error message every time you update your system.

Thanks a lot to Yusuf Anyanzwa posting his solution that work flawless out of the box.

[creativesights]

Had the same issue. Fixed it by deactivating a RokDownloads plugin.

[andyhelico]

I have forgotten to mention that happens only if you run Joomla updates. I tried to reproduce same error with a installation from scratch. I installed all components as I have in production but did not got the same error message at all. I assume a small glitch within upgrade files.

[Sefket]

I have this error : Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() in /home/purecomm/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 268

Not sure what to do.

Version : 1.5.15

EDIT : I did Ed's coding and got : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/purecomm/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 320

Hello to all,
I solve this issue Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() by disabling the doclink plugin (DOCLink is a Joomla! editor plugin that allows the insertion of links to DOCman files using a popup dialog.)

All the best

I had the same problem using Joomla v1.5.15 when I tried editing an existing article. The problem was caused by DOClink editor being enabled after I installed DOCman and it's addons. Before that, I was working with TinyMCE editor. I think the solution is simply to ensure that one has only one editor enabled at a time. Thanks Joorland for the post!

[Timeisnow]

Hi

I had the same problem in my case it was with the Seyret Button plugin on J.1.5.8 so it may be a small bug between J.1.5.x and advanced editors.. mmm

Same here

And same here! I just disabled it, and now can post.

Anyone recomment a good editor that doest add _mce stuff on links?

[A V North]

I have this error : Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay() in /home/purecomm/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 268

Not sure what to do.

Version : 1.5.15

EDIT : I did Ed's coding and got : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /home/purecomm/public_html/libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 320

This is as far as I got...is there a solution? If it's a missing bracket as I have seen suggested elsewhere could someone list the entire block of code needed to work?

[dunxmax]

Hi,

I have just had this same problem - followed what DBoon and caiorg said.

Common problem seems to be transfer of AVReloaded component.

Uninstall component, but don't forget to unpublish it first, which is what I did.

Editor is back - hooray!

[dennisvon]

I had this error mine was on line 268, libraries/joomla/html/editor.php on line 268 When attempting to use the html editor for Modules Custom, the page only displayed partially, my setup, joomla 1.5.20, DOCman v1.4.0.stable and Legacy: 1.0, to fix it I disabled in the plugin DOCLink and bingo it was fixed.

[farodeluz]

Go to root directory, libraries\joomla\html\editor.php

In line 261 replace

Code:
// Try to authenticate
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);


with


Code:
// Try to authenticate
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}


This code works

Yusuf Anyanzwa you are the best...this worked for me...thanks a lot

[LeopardCT]

Likewise for me...
Anyone any clue as to solving this?

How can I find out what plugin could be causing the problem here??

[Josh Lewis]

After spending a ton of time trying to figure it out, it was a broken editor button that was the problem. What a hassle! At least I fixed it.

[shivnarayan]

Hi ,
i tried this but it didn't worked ,if i try this then it shows error on line 320, ie., unaccepted termination of function. please help my whole the site progress is stopped due to same problem

I have seen over 20 reported errors relating to this incident and most seem to indicate removing plug-ins and/or removing the offending line of code.

If you remove the offending line 261 in the 1.5.7 release of Joomla, the editor will work but you will lose access to button plug-ins such as ‘Image’ and ‘Page Break’.

To retain full functionality, simply encapsulate the line with a check for the ‘onDisplay’ method as shown below.

// This was the original code that did not check for the method
// $result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);

// Try to authenticate
if (method_exists($plugin, 'onDisplay')) {
$result[] = $plugin->onDisplay($editor);
}

I hope this helps everyone.

Best regards,
Ed.
