Fatal error: Call to a member function fields() on a non-object
September 06, 2011, 01:36:15 pm
we're using the drupal civicrm_webform module, just upgraded civicrm to 3.4.5

If someone submits the webform and already has a contact record, they get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function fields() on a non-object in..../public/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/DAO.php on line 367

if they don't have a contact record, it works fine. Seems like a problem with dedupe/merge maybe? Anyone run into this problem?

This could be an API issue - I'd try replacing your API folder with the latest one from svn in case that helps (the 3.4.6 version).

Otherwise, I'd try turning on backtrace in your debug settings & capture the backtrace & post it here

I am having the same problem (on 4.0.5). I'm not sure how to update the API, so maybe I'll just hold on until v4.0.6  ???

If you have time would be good if you can ensure backtrace is turned on in your debug settings (within Civi Administration menu - under global settings) & try to catch the backtrace error message & post it here

Ok, I turned on debug and backtrace and repeated the form, but it only gave the same brief error. Not sure if I should be looking elsewhere for the backtrace.

There was also this notice in my error log:
Notice: Undefined variable: fieldIDs in CRM_Core_BAO_CustomValueTable::getValues() (line 603 of .../sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/CustomValueTable.php)

Please collect as much information as you can, including what fields are on your form, and steps to reproduce starting with a clean webform.
I suspect this is related to custom data, so please check if it still happens without the custom fields, and note what types of custom fields you are using.
Then post an issue at: http://drupal.org/project/issues/webform_civicrm?categories=All
Thanks.

Colemanw,

Thanks for the tip on Custom Data. I tried on the Webform CiviCRM tab turning off the Custom Data and it worked fine.

I then tried under the webform CiviCRM tab this little fix:
  • turn off each Custom Data set by changing the "Number of ... Fields" to 0
  • turn back on the same Custom Data set by changing the "Number of ... Fields" to whatever it was before. The checkboxes should be all the same as before
  • "Save Settings" at the bottom
The webform will hopefully now work ok again. :D
I don't know why this works, but maybe it's to do with the upgrade to Webform 3, which seems to have renamed the CiviCRM system field names.

I'd be interested if others could post whether this works for them.

Stuart

That's absurd! I can't believe that "worked" because technically, you didn't actually do anything. As the person who wrote that form, I have a hard time believing that is the reason your submissions started working, because turning a field off then on has a net effect of nothing, and when the form is submitted, it would see that nothings changed, and do nothing!

Well, I bow to your greater knowledge, Colemanw. But I did notice that another field value that I had used in the automatic email from the webform had stopped working because the field key had been renamed ("Contact_1" had been inserted), presumably on the upgrade to Webform 3.

So I assume that the same has happened to the field keys for CiviCRM Webforms. Maybe the turning off and then turning back on of the custom fields reloads the correct field keys for Webform v3...?

Are you sure you're not referring to the upgrade from webform_civicrm 1 to webform_civicrm 2? I don't quite understand the reference to webform 3.

Yes, maybe the reference to Webform v3 is a red-herring, although I did upgrade Webform from v2 to v3 recently, as well as upgrading to webform_civicrm 2.

Well since you're no longer seeing the problem, it does sound like something on your site was misconfigured, and re-saving the web-civi settings set it straight.
