Fatal error: Call to a member function query() on a non-object

Hi SDuke & welcome 😊

In order to get access to the “EE super object” you have to add one more line. Right after your function’s opening brace add “$this->EE =& get_instance();” so your code looks like this:

class upload_pictures
{
    public function upload_pictures()
    {
        $this->EE =& get_instance();
        if (!isset($whats_gonna_happen))
        {
           $uploads='';
           $cout=1;
            if (!table_exists('albums'))
            {
                                    //line 43 below
                $this->EE->db->query("CREATE TABLE albums(
                    id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
                    PRIMARY KEY(id)
                    name VARCHAR(50)
                ") or die(mysql_error());
            }
            $stuff=$this->EE->db->query('SELECT id, name FROM albums');

Thank you.

do I need that for every function or just the constructor one?

Just put it in your constructor and you’ll be great since __construct() fires with each instantiation of your class.

thanks a lot :lol:, sorry but one more question. This is supposed to be a photo album, what I want is to make it so that the upload page is in the cp of expressionengine ( or just accesible there ) so nobody can do some url hacking to get into it. How would I do this?

Never be sorry for asking a question! 😊

You’ll need a MCP file for that. Take a look through the Module Development Tutorial if you haven’t already. This part in particular: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/development/module_tutorial.html#control_panel_file

thanks again :D, I do remember reading that, but I thought it was in the plugin tutorial. So when I went back to find it, obviously, I didn’t.
