Groups stopped working after upgrade to 29.0
Hello All — I've been out of commission for a few years with health issues and am working on resurrecting an old site on an outdated version of Tiki and upgraded to 29.0 through Softaculous. Unfortunately I don't know what I upgraded from. I saw that the version being used was out of date and clicked the "Update" button without taking note of current version figuring I couldn't stay on that version either way. The old version version was probably 3 years old. Everything worked fine afterward and I proceeded to bring the site current. Now I am working on access to the updated site and have found using the "Groups" function via tiki-admingroups.php generates errors instead of presenting the management page:
Fatal error rendering template file /home2/cichoszo/public_html/journey/templates/tiki-admingroups.tpl

I have tried working backwards through the referenced files to see where the value being passed through the called function series is being dropped and being passed as null, but get a little lost not knowing the point of origin.
The errors trace is a little difficult to read in this forum post so I have also provided them in another document that may be easier to read and manage.
Any pointers to help me get this resolved would be appreciated.
Journey on ...
