Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /forums/includes/functions_vbookie.php on line 117

I have searched the forum but have not found the answer. Do you have a version of vBookie compatibile with vB 3.6.8?

Thank you,
Ron

I'm getting this error when I post a new topic and try to make it an event:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '<' in /home/tealandb/public_html/forums/newthread.php(244) : eval()'d code on line 5

It just posts the topic too, nothing to make an event.

yes, this works fine with 3.6.8 (as long as you apply Pauls Patch .... a link to it is on the first post of this thread)..

It also works just fine in 3.7 (tested with Beta 2, 3 and 4)

Is anybody that is using vbookie with 3.6.x or 3.7 beta having an issue with the forum basically stalling at times, as in will take 2-3 minutes to load a page? I have this happening to me on one forum which happens to use vbookie.

ya, I "HAD" that issue, but ever since I decided to get rid of the "settled" option from the Dropdown on the Main vBookie page, it has gone away... for some reason (I have not yet troubleshot)... it creates a stuck process on the mysql server ... next time it happens to you, just check out your processes via phpmyadmin and you will see that their is a vbookie process that is eating up 100% of the memory (might be stuck in an infinate loop).. anyway, if you kill that proccess, your site will then speed right back up Then take time to get rid of the settled option in the dropdown box (just edit the vbookie_main template)

Thanks, Bobster65. This issue has been haunting me for months now, and it was really depressing me to realize that it appeared to be related to vbookie, as it is a very, very popular piece to my forum.

I'm not familiar with the vbookie template and I tend to mess things up when I start guessing.

Can you paste the code to remove here? I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Here is the default vbookie_main template .. the code to be remarked out (or removed) is in BOLD/RED.

What this does is prevent members from selecting the SETTLED vbookie items from the drop down so that the system does not lock up. Since doing this, I've not had any site performance issues related to vbookie.

Just comment out (or remove) this ...
