Hi all,

We seem to be experiencing a problem on EE 1.7.0 (upgrade not an option) whereas any entry being edited or created, any areas using SAEF etc. on submit are leaving users with a blank white screen?

If we go to index.php and turn on error reporting (ini_set(“display_errors”,1)) we get the following error showing…

Fatal error: Call to a member function update_weblog_stats() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/HIDDENADDRESS.com/httpdocs/mmtcp/cp/cp.publish.php on line 4683

Could anyone shed any light on this as we have over 400 thousand members using the SAEF forms regularly and we look quite unprofessional at present.

Many thanks in advance

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I’m sorry these errors have suddenly cropped up for you!

Do you recall any recent changes you might have made to ExpressionEngine?

When errors like this crop up with no changes on your part, then it usually lies with the host. Did your host provider recently upgrade PHP by chance?

Cheers,

Hi Dan,

We have not been made aware of any changes to the hosts PHP versions.

When doing a phpinfo I see the version is 5.1.6.

Would this version be causing the issue?

Thanks

Andrew

N.B.

We have commented out all of the code to do with the function update_weblog_stats() in the cp.publish.php file and all is back to normal now.

Hi Nick,

Glad you’ve found a workaround. If you’re interested in getting to the root of the problem during some scheduled maintenance downtime on your site, let me recommend adding this to your cp.publish.php file. Just above this line (4683):

$STAT->update_weblog_stats($weblog_id);

Add this:

var_dump($weblog_id);
exit;

Run an SAEF form again and copy the printout here. Then comment out the above code so it doesn’t show to visitors.
