Question

I’m running accross a situation here.

As far as I know, in previous versions of Magento, if one got this PHP fatal error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function toHtml() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\app\design\frontend\base\default\template\wishlist\view.phtml on line 50

You should do a simple change in page.xml file, so that :

<block type="core/profiler" output="toHtml"/>

would become:

<block type="core/profiler" output="toHtml" name="core_profiler"/>

But now… running Magento 1.7 this solution doesn’t seem to work anymore!

Anybody has a solution for that?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

It’s obvious, that your problem is not related with, the xml layout directive, that you’ve mentioned:

<block type="core/profiler" output="toHtml" name="core_profiler"/>

The fatal error is fired on line 50 in file app\design\frontend\base\default\template\wishlist\view.phtml

I guess, that you have updated your magento installation recently.

Can you please do the next experiment:

1. In your active theme temporary rename layout/wishlist.xml to layout/wishlist-back.xml
2. Clean up Magento cache
3. Try to reproduce the problem again
