I suspect an error somewhere.

Can you check the php errors log (or apache errors log?)

Also, make sure the debug mode is NOT printing errors to the page, or switch debugging off entirely.

I just forwarded you comment to my provider via e-mail. As soon as I receive an answer I'll send it to you.

Thank you and kind regards
Albert

My provider reported that he cannot find sometthing in the log files. He notices that ther could be someting wrong with line 115 in »index.php«:

$lt = (empty($THEME->layouttable)) ? array('left', 'middle', 'right') : $THEME->layouttable;
foreach ($lt as $column) {
switch ($column) {
case 'left':
if (blocks_have_content($pageblocks, BLOCK_POS_LEFT) || $editing) {
echo '<td style="width: '.$preferred_width_left.'px;" id="left-column">';

Kind regards,

I would recommend upgrading the latest 1.8 beta and seeing if the problem still exists. It's working ok for me.

1.8 is not actually released yet.

Also, what browser (type and version) are you using?

I just installed the actual 1.8 version. But, unfortunately, the vanishing could not be resolved. I tried out the following browsers: Opera 9.2, Firefox 2.0, and IE 7 with no difference.

Maybe this information can be useful: If I run mysql_get_client_info() on my provider's server it reports Version 3.23.58; if I check the version via phpmyadmin it returns Version 5.0.33.

Kind regards
Albert

In the meantime I noticed that a fresh 1.8 installation worked flawlessly. So I decided not to perform an upgrade of my 1.71 version. Instead a backed up the 1.71 courses and restored them on the 1.8 installation using a new database.

That process was time-consuming, but successful. Maybe there was something wrong with the old datbase that prevented from a prospering upgrade.

When I turned on developer debug I received (on the left column):

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\Documents and Settings\aborrow\My Documents\web\moodle\18stable\blocks\site_main_menu\block_site_main_menu.php on line 93

and on a label posted on the main page I am recieving:

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\Documents and Settings\aborrow\My Documents\web\moodle\18stable\course\lib.php on line 1358

I'll continue to work at tracking this down. Peace.

FYI - I upgraded on a WAMP from 1.6+ database with questionnaire and feedback modules to 1.8+ (CVS or as close as I could get since it seemed to be hanging when I was updating). WinXP Pro, Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.2.1, MySQL 5.1?.

Some more info:

I don't know if this is the right track, but I started having the same problem EXACTLY at the time when my provider upgraded PHP to version 5.2.3 (I think it used to be 5.0)

They also upgraded php 4 to 4.4.7.

The fact that I started having those problems at exactly that time might be pure coincidence, but maybe not...

I have same problem only when I have installed additional modules.
Please check your moodle/mod - folder .

In Moodle- Version 1.6. questionnaire was in standard, not in Moodle 1.8.
When you upgrade your system and copy only config.php in new moodle- folder I have seen this problem.

The notices AB reports are just that - notices, not errors. Not even warnings. They are the result of a standard programming practice in Moodle and probably many other PHP systems that create and use object properties on the fly rather than declare them in advance.. This practice would be an error in strongly-typed languages like C++ and Java, but not PHP. I would ignore them.

looks fine to me in 1.9Stable and 2.0Stable releases - if you are still having an issue with the latest 1.9stable or 2.0Stable releases, please provide more information and we can reopen this issue - thanks!
