Title: Fatal error: Call to a member function getPath() on null
Post by: bert heijenga on 13 July 2017, 11:21:21
when we open a category in our library we see al the books listed there,  but when we click on a book-entry we get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getPath() on null in /var/www/vhosts/historischleek.nl/httpdocs/libraries/legacy/categories/categories.php on line 726

http://historischleek.nl, choose bibliotheek>categorie?n and click on an entry
Could it be the connected to the latest Joomla-update (3.7.3) ?
Any help appreciated

Hi Bert,
Joomla-update (3.7.3) is not the cause of problem.
Try to publish a new single book menu (for test). Does the error also occur?

Hi Bert,
I am not obliged to give free support, I like to help people but I have no obligation to do so.
Try to reinstall Abook

Sorry, I never implied that; but my idea was that you as the makers of this component might at least have some idea. We do not have any knowledge of PHP so we have to rely on other peoples expertise. The component has run on our website for several years without major trouble and we were very satisfied with it.
The problem is if we replace it with something else we have to re-enter some 1300 books and articles again.

You have to reinstall Abook WITHOUT uninstall it before, so all file will be overwritten, instead both configuration and data such as images, database and documents will be preserved.
Always back up your site before this action!!!
In my opinion there are some files corrupted.
