Error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string

Asked by Karen Sticher 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

On our dev server our home page suddenly started loading a white screen. I turned on error reporting in Joomla and it says “Recoverable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /var/www/vhosts/[domain]/components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/image_layouts/site.php on line 130”. We've compared this site.php file to what's on the live server which is still working as expect and there's no difference. From Google Searches (e.g. https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/1741), it appears that the error is within SP Page Builder and we were editing webpages built in SP Page Builder and editing menus which linked to SP Page Builder, when this error occurred.

We're running version 3.7.1. We're about to upgrade to 3.7.12, what else do we need to do to fix this issue? Thanks.

okay, thanks. Please also share your FTP details or share this file. I need to customize this file /components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/image_layouts/site.php

I don't have access to provide FTP details, I can't see how to attach a file here and it's not letting me submit the code pasted in hidden content, so see hidden content for link to view code within source code

Sorry for the trouble again. Please go to this location: /components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/image_layouts/site.php and zip site.php file. Then upload it on any drive (Google Drive, One Drive, Box etc.) and share the public link here. Then I will fix the file and share it back. You will replace the file on your site.

Please go to this location: components/com_sppagebuilder/addons/image_layouts and replace site.php file with the attached file. You need to unzip the file and then replace.

site.php.zip

We've replaced the site.php file. This made no difference. We then upgraded to version 3.7.12 (from 3.7.1) and this removed the error message, but we still have a blank/white home page - similarly for some other webpages developed in SP Page Builder that were effected when this issue first arose. I'd be grateful if you could urgently advise next steps.

To confirm, I compared the two files and the difference were:

Was:
$output .= '<img class="sppb-img-responsive'.$image_strech.''.($placeholder ? ' sppb-element-lazy' : '').'" src="' . ($placeholder ? $placeholder : $image_link) . '" alt="'. $alt_text .'" '.($placeholder ? 'data-large="'.$image_link.'"' : '').' '.($image_width ? 'width="'.$image_width.'"' : '').' '.($image_height ? 'height="'.$image_height.'"' : '').' loading="lazy">';

Now:
$output .= '<img class="sppb-img-responsive'.$image_strech.''.($placeholder ? ' sppb-element-lazy' : '').'" src="' . ($placeholder ? $placeholder : is_string($image_link) ? $image_link : $image_link->src) . '" alt="'. $alt_text .'" '.($placeholder ? 'data-large="'.$image_link.'"' : '').' '.($image_width ? 'width="'.$image_width.'"' : '').' '.($image_height ? 'height="'.$image_height.'"' : '').' loading="lazy">';

Note that via my mobile (Safari) I get the error "cannot decode raw data"

Please try this code in that place.

$output .= '<img class="sppb-img-responsive'.$image_strech.''.($placeholder ? ' sppb-element-lazy' : '').'" src="' . is_string($image_link) ? $image_link : $image_link->src . '" alt="'. $alt_text .'" '.($placeholder ? 'data-large="'.$image_link.'"' : '').' '.($image_width ? 'width="'.$image_width.'"' : '').' '.($image_height ? 'height="'.$image_height.'"' : '').' loading="lazy">';

Unfortunately that's made no difference (to double check, in Joomla I Cleaned Cache and in Google Chrome I deleted cookies), what else can we try?

We've turned on the debug mode and now get the Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$id in /plugins/system/gantry/gantry.php on line 234. Please urgently advise.

Line 234 says:

if ($this->isGantryTemplate($template_info->id) && isset($doc->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true) . '/templates/' . $app->getTemplate() . '/css-compiled/bootstrap.css'])) {

Which is in the wider code:

public function onBeforeCompileHead()
{
    $doc = JFactory::getDocument();
    $app = JFactory::getApplication();
    if (!$app->isAdmin()) {
        $template_info = $app->getTemplate(true);
        // If its a gantry template dont load up
        if ($this->isGantryTemplate($template_info->id) && isset($doc->_styleSheets[JURI::root(true) . '/templates/' . $app->getTemplate() . '/css-compiled/bootstrap.css'])) {
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap.css']);
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap.min.css']);
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap-responsive.css']);
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css']);
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap-extended.css']);
            unset($doc->_styleSheets[JUri::base(true) . '/media/jui/css/bootstrap-rtl.css']);
        }
    }

Your recent error is caused in your template file. Please check with your template provider for support.

For the image layout addon issue, please remove all the changes and use your shared file. I have checked this file with our SP Page Builder extension and it is the same file. Make protostar your default template and check the issue.
