Author Topic: Fatal error: Call to a member function getVar() on a non-object ['_contactID'] (Read 1055 times)

An extension that worked in 4.5 throws a white screen with a fatal error in 4.6 with the message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getVar() on a non-object in /home/ozk/domains/ourdomain.nl/public_html/crm/sites/all/modules/civicrm_extensions/org.project60.sepa/CRM/Core/Payment/SDD.php on line 155

That line says:

Code: [Select]

$params['contact_id'] = $this->getForm()->getVar('_contactID');
Is this way to derive the contact_id depreciated?
Would anyone be able to help me understand what changes in 4.6 would cause this? How does 4.6 deal differently with _contactID. What would be a start of a proper solution?

Which hook are you working in ? alterPaymentParams?

Yep.

Code from the extension reads:

Code: [Select]

  function doDirectPayment(&$params) {
    $original_parameters = $params;

    // prepare the creation of an incomplete mandate
    $params['creditor_id']   = $this->_creditorId;
    $params['contact_id']    = $this->getForm()->getVar('_contactID'); 
    $params['source']        = $params['description'];
    $params['iban']          = $params['bank_account_number'];
    $params['bic']           = $params['bank_identification_number'];
    $params['creation_date'] = date('YmdHis');
    $params['status']        = 'PARTIAL';

    // Allow further manipulation of the arguments via custom hooks ..
    CRM_Utils_Hook::alterPaymentProcessorParams($this, $original_parameters, $params);

Try $params['contactID']

Also for 4.6 you should be aware of the new supports methods

https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-15555

So, your payment processor should override things like supportsBackOffice to declare whether it should show as an option on the backoffice form.

validatePaymentInstrument overrides form validation - ideally you should be able to implement it without using hooks now & if you are still using hooks we should ensure we have the things requiring the use of hooks on our road map
