Event App Repeaters error
So, I'm having a problem, (Sorry again to Rachel and Matt for posting this in the wrong place before)
I have just updated my version of Perch to the latest and now I can't edit the events on my site. it seems to be an issue with using repeaters in my event template
I can see the list of events but anything with the url: perch/addons/apps/perch_events/edit/ doesn't work.
I was getting a 500 error on the page and I couldn't get any error reports so I added this code:
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
to the page perch/addons/apps/perch_events/edit/index.php to show the errors and I got this:
Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to PerchFieldType::__construct() must be an instance of PerchXMLTag, instance of PerchRepeater given, called in ***/perch/core/lib/PerchFieldTypes.class.php on line 66 and defined in ***/perch/core/lib/PerchFieldType.class.php on line 71
so I was in a bit of a rush so I tested an alteration of the code and that seemed to solve the problem.
I edited /perch/core/lib/PerchFieldType.class.php line 71
Before:
public function __construct(PerchForm $Form=null, PerchXMLTag $Tag=null, $app_id)
After:
public function __construct(PerchForm $Form=null, $Tag=null, $app_id)
without this edit to the core I can't update my events, so I'll have to roll back a version of the perch core. I have a backup of this, but I don't know is there a repository of these versions somewhere ?
I hope this investigation helps with a future update ?
Please post your Diagnostics Report - you should have been asked for this when creating the thread.
Hi Rachel, Sorry I only spotted your reply today. Yeah, I can't get a Diagnostics Report, because the page wouldn't work, I was only getting a 500 error, hence the PHP error above. I'm not sure that helps though. Sorry !
Are you still unable to log into Perch?
Oh no, I could log in, I could see the list of events, but if I went to edit one of them the page wouldn't load. it's only the page: perch/addons/apps/perch_events/edit/... that didn't work ?
But you can get to the diagnostics report in Settings, is that right?
I'm so sorry ! I thought you meant the debug output here it is:

Ok, thanks.
Your modification is patching over the symptom but not the cause, so I wouldn't recommend pushing that to production. We'll take a look at the Events app and see what can be done.
I thought as much. I'm sorry I don't know enough about PHP objects or whatever they are called to be more help. All the best Dylan
