"Random Image" module Crashes Joomla 3.8.8

[Gasoline]

After upgrading 50+ sites 2 went down with error:

Code: Select all

0 - Using $this when not in object context 

If I disable Random Image module site works well.

All clean and tailormade templates by me. Only those 2 sites use the Random Image Module.

Yup, I found that already. That was the fix for me: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/20533/files

It seems realy the compilation from the relative path to the image/random folder for the random pics is depricated.
1. Copy Original File /modules/mod_random_image/tmpl/default.php to default_old.php
2. Use the Solution from line 13 to 19 as the Github-Link is given here.

Code: Select all

 <?php if ($link) : ?>
 <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">
 <?php endif; ?>
	<?php echo JHtml::_('image', $image->folder . '/' . htmlspecialchars($image->name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'), htmlspecialchars($image->name, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8'), array('width' => $image->width, 'height' => $image->height)); ?>
 <?php if ($link) : ?>
 </a>
 <?php endif; ?>

It's a default module from Joomla-Core and I think the DEV-Team will actualize the Update-Pool for future Update Tasks so we don't will have any Problems.
