Blog update to v5.0: Perch Blog administration doesn't work
I'm trying to follow these steps: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/installation/
But I'm still getting 5xx errors in blog section in Perch. There is problem with Categories after updating to Blog App v5.0.
PHP error:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function id() on boolean in /Users/machal/Sites/vd-web/www/perch/addons/apps/perch_blog/modes/edit.pre.php on line 76

Have you setup a blog category in the categories app? Also, updating from an old blog app to newest may require some template updates too.
Also, I am noticing a double directories separator in your
REQUEST_URI: /perch//core/settings/diagnostics/
Between perch and core directories.
Thanks for response, Robert.
I want only one category set across , so I have one named "Tema". https://snag.gy/wUhYq.jpg I tried to add new category "Blog" there and to add category set "Blog", but without success.
My blogpost template you can see above.
Ad. double directories separator – I think it is not the problem, it appears there a long time.
Categories does not appear to have a closing tag. Is that your complete template?
Yes, the template is complete.
ok, so the template is incorrect. The categories tag needs to be closed like the one in the example on this page:
https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/installation/
I've tried to add code from your example to
templates/blog/post.html:… and then tried copy content from
addons/apps/ …/blog/post.htmlinto mytemplates/blog/post.html.But in both cases I get the original PHP error:
I double checked if I'm following the tutorial "Updating from a version prior to 4.5" – and my steps looks good. Any ideas? :)
Oh my… I find the problem. :) I tried to add and edit blogposts from dashboard before.
But – it is necessary to click on the Apps / Blog first in the main navigation!
Perch will import blogposts and everything works now.
I suggest you add this information to the updating manual: https://docs.grabaperch.com/addons/blog/installation/
