Upgrade Errors
I work on a site that uses Perch and Perch Blog. Everything was running well with Perch 2.7.10 and Perch Blog 4.5.4. Yesterday I decided to upgrade to the current versions (Perch 2.8.2 and Perch Blog4.6) and I encountered problems and was forced to reverse the upgrade.
When I upgraded both Perch ( with the markup editor upgrade) and the Blog and tried to add a blog post I got the following runtime error.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function perch_get() in /home/castfile/public_html/perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/runtime.php on line 748
When I just replaced the Blog to the previous version and tried to save a new blog post with Perch upgraded I got the following runtime error.
Fatal error: Call to a member function return_instance() on a non-object in /home/casttester/public_html/perch/core/lib/api/PerchAPI_Form.class.php on line 408
I also noticed that on the post entry form that the field I had defined to use ckeditor was not rendered with the ckeditor.
I put the original markitup editor folder back. Still got the runtime error. I put the original perch core back and everything worked again.
I need upgrade help. It has always worked before. Any suggestions????

Change your
apps.phpfrom this:to this:
I reinstalled the new version of Perch and Markitup and made the change to $apps_list and when I tried to input a blog post I got this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function return_instance() on a non-object in /home/casttester/public_html/perch/core/lib/api/PerchAPI_Form.class.php on line 408
Also on the form the post content entry (postDescHTML0 did not render with the ckeditor.
You need to upgrade Blog and ckeditor to the latest versions.
After updating Blog and ckeditor I still have two problems.
When I go to the form to enter in a new blog post, the postDescHTML entry field is not rendering with the ckeditor as it did before all my updates. Next please see how I defined the field in my post.html. Looks like it is rendering as a markitup field perhaps, or nothing.
But the good news is I can save a blog entry without getting a runtime error, but I really need to be able to use ckeditor for this field.
Next, if I go to any page in my site that contains the php line to include perch:
I get this runtime error right away.
Here is my Perch diagnostic:
Thanks in advance for your further help.
That runtime error means you are including the runtime twice, your apps.php looks to be incorrect as you have included both the old and new format. Use one of these not both.
Okay, the runtime error is gone. I still have the second issue.

Thanks in advance for your help.
What are you actually seeing in the control panel?
Are there any errors in your browser console?
I do not see any errors in the browser console? Would they be anywhere besides on the page? I am using Chrome, but checked in IE as well and it is the same.
I am including two print screens :
The first: https://www.suebstewart.com/control-panel-after.png is what renders after the upgrade, The second: https://www.suebstewart.com/control-panel-before.png is what rendered before the upgrade.
This is post.html
There are various errors in this template. The main one being that you have commented out part of a perch:if statement.
If you don't want the author information to appear remove it.
You have a strange mixture of markitup and ckeditor. You never need to set markdown or textile to false, just don't include the attributes. You also have included markitup on fields that have no ability to accept html, textile OR markdown which is redundant.
So the first thing to do would be to check that your template is correct.
I was very hopeful it was errors in my template. I think it is more. I replaced my post.html with the example post.html supplied with the new version of blog. It worked. I altered just one div to use ckeditor
The field still did not render with ckeditor. I tried my IE browser that I had not tried since having the runtime errors ( I have script debugging set on this browser) and this time I got script errors.
I looked at the ckeditor folder that I installed and it said to check a certain page to see if the install was good and that page displayed nicely.
Here are the script errors I received in the order they were received: Thank you in advance for your help with my problem.
Which version of IE is that?
Version 9. I had uninstalled the more recent versions a few weeks ago for a task I was working on.
I just upgraded to Version 11 and I still get errors. Two. Below please find the screen shots in the order they were received.
Is it our version of the CKEditor plugin you're using, or one of your own?
I did download the version of ckeditor I installed from your site yesterday. In my double checking I noticed that the ckeditor zip file I downloaded from your site yesterday had a different number than the one I downloaded today. I installed the version I downloaded today and the ckeditor renders from post.html.
Thanks for all your help.
