Hi all,

We've had a site up and running for over a month, and we're starting to get reports of a weird error being displayed at random intervals on the home page.

Fatal error: Call to a member function XML_val() on a non-object in /import_wfs1/share_rw/tmp/silverstripe-cache-home-httpd-vhlinks-www.vivaexpeditions.com/.cache on line 212

This is on blank white page - nothing is loaded.

Refreshing the page fixes it it seems.

Anyone seen this? It seems to pop up a few times a week.

Cheers
Aaron

Usually happens when you have like $Title.XML or $Content.FirstParagraph and theres no $Title or $Content for example.. It shouldnt throw an error for that though so we should probably just change it so it fails silently

Would the Summary function have the same effect?

yes.

I have a box on the right hand side that spits out a featured random page object excerpt. This might explain why the problem is also random.

So I think all you need to do is do something like <% if MyRandomContent %>$RandomContent.Summary<% end_if %> or something and you should be sweet!. Random bugs are always the hardest to test :(

Yeah that if statement is basically exactly what i've done. Will have to wait and see if the problem occurs again.

Cheers
