Hi I recently transferred a site onto my server, and upgraded to the latest versions of drupal and civi. I'm having problems with a number of existing custom fields, and with creating new ones. Profiles using the existing problematic fields gave me a white screen, which I was able to temporarily resolve by disabling the problematic fields (through a process of elimination).

Also when I try to add new custom fields I get the following in my apache error.log:
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::isMultiRecordField() in /var/www/drupal/7/sites/all/modules/civicrm/CRM/UF/Form/Field.php on line 801, referer: http://..

If I comment out line 801 in Field.php, I am able to add new custom fields ok, but I'm not sure if this is wise or not. Here's an extract from the code:

        //check if profile already has a different multi-record custom set field configured
        $customGroupId = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::isMultiRecordField($profileFieldName);
        if ($customGroupId) {
          if ($profileMultiRecordCustomGid = CRM_Core_BAO_UFField::checkMultiRecordFieldExists($self->_gid)) {
            if ($customGroupId != $profileMultiRecordCustomGid) {
              $errors['field_name'] = ts("You cannot configure multi-record custom fields belonging to different custom sets in one profile");
            }
          }
        }

Any advice on how to fix this properly??

Hi, thanks for the suggestion, but I think not. The code crashed at line 801, which is
$customGroupId = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::isMultiRecordField($profileFieldName);

The CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::isMultiRecordField($profileFieldName) method is undefined, indicating either that this is a bit of legacy code that should be removed, or that there is something missing somewhere else.
