2.5.5 update to 2.5.28 broke something.

Post by nate_k » Sat Mar 04, 2017 4:05 am

It's been a little while since I've done this but I ran the joomla update from the backend (2.5.5) which updated to 2.5.28. I then went to update in the extension manager and selected all items for update then got an error and now I have no admin control panel page. I can access other menu items from the admin panel but my control panel page after logging in is totally blank and I'm not sure what broke it.

Enabling errors shows a mess of problems such as:
Strict Standards: is_a(): Deprecated. Please use the instanceof operator in /administrator/components/com_widgetkit/helpers/system.php on line 151

Notice: Undefined index: page in /public_html/templates/yoo_nano/warp/systems/joomla/layouts/head.php on line 15

TRICT STANDARDS: NON-STATIC METHOD JAPPLICATION::GETMENU() SHOULD NOT BE CALLED STATICALLY, ASSUMING $THIS FROM INCOMPATIBLE CONTEXT IN /PUBLIC_HTML/INCLUDES/APPLICATION.PHP ON LINE 536

many, many more errors. Is anyone able to help?

Thanks in advance!

From the first error message one could deduce that there is an issue with the third party extension/component WidgetKit. It is suggested that you get the latest WidgetKit that is compatible with Joomla! 2.5 and install it.

Being a Yoo theme, I believe that the second error message is dependent on the first message.

In addition, WidgetKit being a commercial extension, would suggest getting the help from the extension developer.

Hope your hosting environment meets the technical requirements as documented at https://downloads.joomla.org/technical-requirements.

What happens if you set the value of "None" to the option "Display Errors" that is available in the tab "Server" of the "Global Configuration"?

Note: Make a copy of the site files and the database content before attempting to reinstall Widget Kit.

I had already figured that out by the amount of errors generated by the theme and warp framework. So that is already a given. Those were just a few random lines out of the error log and the log is fairly long. My biggest issue is the blank admin page in the backend. I should be receiving login information today for yootheme so I can update the template and framework I'm just looking for a little help fixing the blank page.

Admin page went blank after updating to 2.5.28 from 2.5.5 then updating extensions from the update tab under extension manager. While updating it gave a visible error No such file or directory in /administrator/components/com_jce/models/model.php on line 14 and then I had no more admin page (control panel).

Again, my question is to fix the blank admin page. I already know the template, framework, jce and gktabs all need to be updated.
