0 Using $this when not in object context

Hi,
I am running a simple website with GK Magazine.
A few weeks ago i started getting the message:

0 Using $this when not in object context

when I visit the Website.
I managed to locate the issue at gk_game_magazine/layouts/blocks/main.php file
When I rename the file main_old.php everything shows up except the main content area where the Article should appear.

<?php

// No direct access.
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
$gkContent = '100%';
if($this->getParam("cwidth_position", '') == 'style') {
// main column
if($this->modules('inset1 and inset2')) {
$gkInset1 = $this->getParam('inset_column_width', '20'). '%';
$gkInset2 = $this->getParam('inset2_column_width', '20'). '%';
$gkComponentWrap = (100 - ($this->getParam('inset_column_width', '20') + $this->getParam('inset2_column_width', '20'))) . '%';
} elseif($this->modules('inset1 or inset2')) {
if($this->modules('inset1')) {
$gkInset1 = $this->getParam('inset_column_width', '20'). '%';
$gkComponentWrap = (100 - $this->getParam('inset_column_width', '20')) . '%';
} else {
$gkInset2 = $this->getParam('inset2_column_width', '20'). '%';
$gkComponentWrap = (100 - $this->getParam('inset2_column_width', '20')) . '%';
}
}

// all columns
$left_column = $this->modules('left_top + left_bottom + left_left + left_right');
$right_column = $this->modules('right_top + right_bottom + right_left + right_right');

if($left_column && $right_column) {
    $gkContent = (100 - ($this->getParam('left_column_width', '20') + $this->getParam('right_column_width', '20'))). '%';
} elseif ( $left_column ) {
    $gkContent = (100 - $this->getParam('left_column_width', '20')). '%';
} elseif ( $right_column ) {
    $gkContent = (100 - $this->getParam('right_column_width', '20')) . '%';
}

}

Any help on resolving the issue?

Mitsos1 Hi

You should not remove that file - it's required to show the main content

I guess the error related to the PHP version you're using, make sure that you're using latest version of this template as well: https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/gavick/free-joomla-templates/magazine

If you're using it already, you can share the URL + super admin + FTP account of your site so I can check for you.
