    Hi People,

    i am quite a newbi with tiki, php and whatsoever.

    I started to make some absence page with some options (for my girlfriend who is a teacher). to learn something i started with the "hello world" page of tikidev and tried things out from there. Now i get stuck.

    i am stuck on this part.

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    include_once('lib/contribution/contributionlib.php');
$contributions = $contributionlib->list_contributions();
$smarty->assign('contributions', $contributions['data'];)


    i use other names but even tried this one with both the same errors.
    i get the following error message.

    Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in c:\program files\easyphp1......

    The error is in the "$contributions = $contributionlib...." line

    The problem as i can see it is that the $contributionlib is not defined. I looked up for the contributions part and noticed that it is in tikiwiki 1.10 as i am using an older version. Now is my question where is that variable defined so it can call the fucntion?

    i use tikiwiki 1.9.3.1

    I hope someone can help me out.

    Hi there, I would say a place to start looking is in 'lib/contribution/contributionlib.php', which is being included here. The presumption is that it then creates "$contributionlib", or at least may be expected to.

    i wish that was true..
    see the example for yourself.

    http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Hello+World#_To_execute_some_queries_in_the_php

    I can't find anything about making $contributionlib. Or it is in the contributions itself already. But as i am using 1.9.3.1 the contributions is not included in this one and with the {debug} option i dont see it as well.

    It seems that the example is only working for 1.10 (havent tested it myself), but still i like to know where that $contributionlib is coming from. As i see it or read it is is referring in some way to the lib file where it calls the function.

    Ok found out what was wrong. I looked in the xref-head of this page and look there in the contribution files.

    i noticed there a few more important lines.
    There is one line in front of the function in contributionlib

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    class ContributionLib extends TikiLib {


    and at the end of it a bit more.

    Image
    Copy to clipboard
    global $dbTiki;
$contributionlib = new ContributionLib($dbTiki);


    Also the globalis mentioned in the contribuitons.php in the root.

    I have no clue what it all exactly does but it seems to work now.

    Thanks for the help anyway.
