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

Post by consigliere » Mon Apr 28, 2008 7:37 pm

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 have the same problem. Seems lots of other people do, too, but no answers posted yet, it seems.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Thanks!

It seems it is an internal error on the Joomla Code, perhaps they released the 1.5.3 and did not noticed this error. But we need to wait until a response to solve it.

I found this post:
http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f ... 6#p1286656

For me, reinstalling sorted the problem. A bit of a pain, but at least it works now

I had the same problem on a 1.5.2 installation. Turned out to be the doclink plugin 1.4.0rc1. After disabling the plugin the error disappeared.

What I coincidence, I enabled all the docman suite and upgraded to 1.5.3. Put Joomla in legacy mode, then the error came up.

Now I now that the Docman 1.4.rc3. distribution is not compatible with 1.5.3.

I found this and it worked. I had trouble every time I tried to create an article. I had to simply shut off the editor plugin button.

I run Joomla 1.5.3, and use JCE, ArtForms and LinkR. It worked when I turned off the button for LinkR. It seemed to be interfering with the rendering of editor pages. The error you get when creating an article also appeared when I was trying to work with my forms.

Hi All,

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.

You're most welcome.

By the way, please note that this code change makes the system more resistant to leftover (or failed install, or incompatible) editor plug-ins so that you can still access all the remaining valid functions.

When I ran into this problem myself, it was because of an attachment component and pulg-in that I forgot about while upgrading to the latest release. A look in the jos_plugins tables using something like phpMyAdmin with a filter of editors-xtd should point you in the right direction.

Glad to be of help.

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 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 :geek: :pop

I also experienced this problem and thanks to this post I discovered it was the Doclink Plugin causing all the problems.
Seems it doesn't like 1.5.8.

Hey there!
I've run in exactly the same problem.
My story:
the website is working perfectly on my local host, but on the live problem there is this problem.
As I uploaded the files through FTP i noticed that I had a lot of us not uploaded files. With every upload there were files that were not uploaded.
I believe that something is missing on the system and that is why I get this error.

In my case what helped me was turning the default pagebreak plugin off.

Ok,

There are lot's of threads on this issue and I have read through most of them. This seems to be the last updated so I'll add my findings here.

It was a comment in another thread that got me onto this line of thinking but the solution provided was a little more technical than the one I used.

The button plugins are referenced in the sites database, so if you have some plugins installed locally as you build your site then you move it to the server with a nice fresh install and import your database from your local environment you have a conflict. The database sees the "button" plugin reference and tries to load them when you try to add or edit an article. The Plugins aren't installed so they can't be displayed: Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::onDisplay()

So it is a user error, in my case anyway, even though a little convoluted and hard to track down. Using a hack to get around it or disabling plugins isn't a great solution, what if you actually want to use the plugins?

I solved my issue by uninstalling the plugins that weren't actually installed, this showed me errors as you can't uninstall something that isn't installed, but it worked.

THANK YOU A LOT! :D :D :D :D :D :D

Even though other solutions may work, they're only workarounds IMHO (because they just make Joomla! work again and most of the times, there are some drawbacks), but yours SOLVED the problem the way it should be.

Why I'm saying this? I followed your line of thought and uninstalled the AllVideos Reloaded component which has a "button" plugin, then I reinstalled the component and VOILA! Everything is working again INCLUDING the AllVideos Reloaded "button" plugin.

Again IMHO, this is the FINAL solution to this kind of problem.

I tried commenting and replacing the mentioned code in the previous posts, but I still cannot see the button in my editor. The bot also when enabled gives error on line 74 in the front-end.

Can somebody please help??

Experienced same after creating a new local development site and then restoring the Production database using MySQL Administrator GUI (Restore) tool.

I resolved this through the localsite/administrator panel
Site -> User Manager
Select Administrator
In the Parameters block ensure that you have something other than '--Select Editor--'

I had this error after upgrading to 1.5.10 every time I tried to access an article in the backend. The solution which worked for me was to unzip 'plg_doclink_1.5.0.stable.zip' from 'http://www.joomlatools.eu/downloads/cat ... d-ons.html'. I then used an ftp transfer to put the 2 files and folder into '[ROOT]/plugins/editors-xtd.

I am now able to access my articles

Okay, my turn to talk about a problem. I had RawContent installed on my build, but because it wasn't working for me, I uninstalled it. Not only did it not completely install (I have a plugin that has "uninstalled" but still will not go away), I'm now getting the 261 error and it's knocked out my ability to write custom HTML modules. I upgraded from 1.5.9 to 1.510 in the hopes that it would solve the issue, but so far no dice. Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? Thanks for the assist.
