I am looking forward to the features included in this update, especially the multi-file upload in the media manager.

One problem, however. When I purge cache and search for updates in Joomla 2.5.4, it's not finding anything! Does the one-click updater not function for this release?

[Bettinz]

My question: Is joomla 1.5.x vulnerable about
[20120601] - Core - Privilege Escalation
And
[20120602] - Core - Information Disclosure
Or isn't vulnerable? Thank you!

[greenehouse]

I've just run the auto-updater in the admin of 2.5.4 and it's crashed the site!

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/xxxx/xxxx/libraries/joomla/application/base.php on line 87

[Is3]

I have the same issue! as @greenehouse

[twehrli]

Same problem here!

does anyone have a solution?

[Stevetm]

Hi, I had the same problem, here is the solution. Thanks to Luis Murcia at absolutejoomla.com.

in base.php from row 85, replace

Code: Select all

public function registerEvent($event, $handler)
{
 if ($this->dispatcher instanceof JDispatcher)
 {
  $this->dispatcher->register($event, $handler);
 }

 return $this;
}

With

Code: Select all

public function registerEvent($event, $handler)
{
  $dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
  $dispatcher->register($event, $handler);

}

[greenehouse]

Steve - your blood's worth bottling.
That did it. Many thanks to you and Luis Murcia.
Cheers!

[twehrli]

the solution worked for me as well! Thanks alot

is this a temporary fix or is this the solution for good?

[MoonfireArt]

This is pretty important of a bug. They should take the release down until they patch this up. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

[greenehouse]

Agreed.

[Stevetm]

This is not a permanent fix (or the maybe best way to do it) but it does the trick for now, and it must be fixed by Joomla team in future releases...

[amartibp]

Dear Steven!

Could you please help me? I am a totally beginner, started last week, made this automatic upgrade w/o backup of course...

I made the change you proposed, but still have this message (same as before):

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/szentlas/public_html/modules/mod_menu/helper.php on line 100

Many thanks in advance!

Attila

[FLOR01]

Please fix ASAP
Thanks!

[MoonfireArt]

I just sent an e-mail out to the CMS development group mailing list. Maybe they will read it and take action.

[Stevetm]

Sorry I dont think I can help you with that, that's another error. If you are referring to Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/xxxx/xxxx/libraries/joomla/application/base.php on line 87

I suggest you check that you did a correct replace and not missing any bracket

[Webdongle]

My site says 'There are no updates available at the moment. Please check again later.'
Joomla! 2.5.4 in the footer

[betweenbrain]

I forwarded your email to the Joomla Bug Squad, as that is the best place to resolve this. You can follow the thread at https://groups.google.com/d/topic/jooml ... discussion

[Webdongle]

I've just run the auto-updater in the admin of 2.5.4 and it's crashed the site!...

Which auto updater ?

com_installer reached by Extensions >>> Update tab
or
com_joomlaupdate reached from the Components menu(also the one linked to from the update icon in the CP)

[greenehouse]

The one I clicked on was the update icon in the CP, yes.
"Checking update status". "Joomla! 2.5.5 Update now!" and red exclamation point.

[Stevetm]

For me it was:

com_joomlaupdate reached from the Components menu(also the one linked to from the update icon in the CP)

[MoonfireArt]

Mine's not showing an update at all, via extension manager-updates

[Webdongle]

Mine's not showing an update at all, via extension manager-updates

Have just that com_installer (Extensions >>> update tab) is not intended to show Joomla updates anymore.

[Nick Savov]

BTW, for the fatal error bug, here's the tracker item and the provided patch:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... m_id=28684

Kind regards,
Nick

[Stevetm]

That my fix was ok as the patch is identical...

[atarr]

@stevetm Good job on a fix, but the patch is not quite identical. Rather than changing the file that is in the error message, the fix is going in a different file. This will have ramifications later if you use other parts of the system.

Andy

[Stevetm]

Ok I see, I will apply the patch...

[greenehouse]

Can you please clue me in on how to apply the patch in 2.5?

[atarr]

We are still testing it. Once it's ready we'll let you know. We may do a new release with this fix as well as missing icons issue.

Hi all, updating locally a fresh install of Joomla 2.5.4 to 2.5.5 by extension manager, I get this fatal error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method JInstaller::parseXMLInstallFile() in C:\wamp\www\Joomla_2.5.4-Stable-Full_Package\libraries\joomla\installer\adapters\component.php on line 1996

Then, trying to install again the same update package, it install successfully.

I use WampServer
PHP Version 5.3.8
