Hi

This error message comes up on a few links how can i fix it and check its not happening on other pages?

Fatal error: Call to a member function getType() on a non-object in /home/blatantl/public_html/plugins/system/sef/sef.php on line 38

e.g. http://www.blatantlyblunt.com/Blog/billy-danze-m-o-p-on-touring-with-gangstarr-street-certified-and-more.html

thanks
Hey Nick,

SEF is your search engine friendly urls. You set that in Joomla's main configuration area. If you turned that on, you'd have to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

Have you possibly changed a setting on the Joomla SEF side or added some other program to handle it?

You can actually turn sef urls off to check if this is causing the problem. (clear cache on system and your browser after turning it off) If the error is gone, at least you will know where it comes from.

edited: -- I just did a quick search and this error has been reported by others. Some claim it is caused by a bad Joomla upgrade. Others say it has to do with Gantry (are you using Gantry?)

Hope that gives you some idea of where to poke for a fix. Update us with how it goes?

Hey Nick,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Can you update your Joomla backend and FTP access so I can better have a check?

By the way, thanks for sharing Bridgette

Hello Nick,

We don't see any site details provided on this ticket. Where did you add your site details? You could edit your first post to include the site access. Alternatively you can add it once by adding them at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site so that you don't have to add them all the time.

Hey Nick,

May i know where you get this link on your site?
http://www.blatantlyblunt.com/Blog/billy-danze-m-o-p-on-touring-with-gangstarr-street-certified-and-more.html

Because I've tried to search this url alias from your backend Sh404sef component, but it only found out this following URL and this URL can accessible, may i know this both page is it display the same content or that is different page?

hey

it is the same post, but looks like it's been categorized differently? I have an interviews section on my site but it is meant to direct the user to the same place as the original post - perhaps sh404SEF has created a duplicate?

Any help would be much appreciated as i dont know how to get around this!

thanks

Hey Nick,

I have no ideas how you get this URL link (http://www.blatantlyblunt.com/Blog/billy-danze-m-o-p-on-touring-with-gangstarr-street-certified-and-more.html) from your site, because when I've applied some temporary fix in this file /public_html/plugins/system/sef/sef.php , then i access again above URL link, it didn't show anything, it show "The page is not found" on the browser title.

I suspect that is the old SEF URL generated from long time ago, because I did checked from your Sh404sef existing sef URL already do not have this link any more. This is the link is existed in Sh404sef (http://www.blatantlyblunt.com/interviews/billy-danze-m-o-p-on-touring-with-gangstarr-street-certified-and-more.html)
