Hi Colin,
OK, that makes sense. Sounds like it's no bad thing that the issue has
come to light. I'll leave it to you to make any change to the
plugin ... because I wouldn't have a clue how to do that. ;-)
Glad there's at least one other person reading the forums in the UK!
I'm planning to redo my company's web site, building it around Habari
(I don't recognise my own company when I read our current web
site! ;-)). I'll let you know when I've done it. So far I am *really*
liking Habari.

Aaaaahhh. This is going to be PHP's referencing. The way PHP handles
referencing has changed over the years and it looks like may have
changed again in PHP 5.3.0 (I tested with 5.2.12). I've not looked
into these changes or under what circumstances objects can be passed
by reference, but the last time I checked, there wasn't a need to pass
an object by reference in PHP 5 (due to a change to the underlying
code). Maybe PHP 5.3 has now put in some enforcement of this.
So from the way I see it, yes, your fix would be the correct one and I
think we should remove the passing by reference in this plugin.
Cheers,
Colin
PS. I'm in the UK too.

Hi Colin,
Thanks for testing it for me. I too have have just now taken
another look at
it, in the cool light of day (it is morning here in the UK), and
before your
email came through. I changed two lines in the plugin, after which
it works
for me. The lines are line 88 and 99:
public function filter_theme_act_display_home( $handled, &
$theme )
public function
filter_theme_act_display_blog_home( $handled, &$theme
)
In both lines I removed the ampersand before "$theme", so the lines
read:
public function filter_theme_act_display_home( $handled,
$theme )
public function
filter_theme_act_display_blog_home( $handled, $theme
)
I am running Habari 0.6.4 and the plugin version 0.6-0.2 downloaded
from
here http://www.habariproject.org/dist/plugins/staticfront/
When I was getting the error yesterday I got it with the default
theme as
well as with other themes I have installed but I didn't test it
with no
other plugins installed.
The version of PHP running on my server is 5.3.0.
My PHP isn't great, but I can't immediately think why there should
be an
ampersand before "$theme" in those lines? If there is a reason and I
shouldn't change the lines as indicated, do let me know.
Thanks

Hi Philip
I've tested both the 0.6.4 and trunk versions of the StaticFront
plugin and both work as expected. I suspect your problem may stem
from another plugin or possibly a theme issue.
Can you please test disabling all your plugins and use a default
theme
(eg K2) and see how it goes. If it continues to fail, please can
you
let us know:
- what version of Habari you are running
- which version of the staticfront plugin you are using
- what errors you get when using a default theme (eg K2) and no
other
plugins
If it works with a default theme and no other plugins, slowly
introduce your plugins and theme one at a time until the problem
comes
to light. We should hopefully be able to work out from there where
things are going wrong.

Hi
I am new to Habari. I have recently installed it and am exploring
how
it works. I would like a home page (a page that appears first when
visiting the site). I have downloaded and installed the StaticFront
plugin. I created a new page to be the home page. I selected that
page
in the Configure options for the plugin. I expected that page to
appear as the first page when I reloaded/revisited my site, but it
does not (nothing has changed).
I have noticed that there is an error message in the logs:
Parameter 2 to StaticFront::filter_theme_act_display_home()
expected
to be a reference, value given in system/classes/plugins.php:94
Have I done something wrong? Have I misunderstood what the plugin
is
supposed to do? Is there a problem with the plugin?
Any advice appreciated
Thanks
Philip
