Hi,

After much research to find the culprit that breaks our site after a 3.15- >3.2 upgrade, we finally put our finger on the "Easy discuss" menu item. Unpublished it gets the site working again. I tried upgrading to the most recent version but neither the menu nor the backend management interface work ...

This is the error log message:

[Wed Nov 20 16:36:31 2013] [warn] [client 173.178.218.103] mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Fatal error: Cannot make non static method JRouter::encodeSegments() static in class DiscussRouter in /var/www/vhosts/dev004.6degres.ca/httpdocs/upg32/components/com_easydiscuss/helpers/router.php on line 818, referer: http://dev004.6degres.ca/upg32/administrator/index.php?option=com_akeeba&view=installer&task=realinstall

Any thoughts ?

Thanks
Danny
You can go to remove the "static" from your file JoomlaFolder\components\com_easydiscuss\helpers\router.php

AT LINE 813

public static function encodeSegments($segments)

{

return JFactory::getApplication()->getRouter()->_encodeSegments($segments);

}


Change that to


public function encodeSegments($segments)

{

return JFactory::getApplication()->getRouter()->_encodeSegments($segments);

}

Thanks for sharing By the way, if you are on Joomla 3.2, please download or utilize EasyDiscuss 3.2 beta as the fix has been added on that release.
