Error message: Attempt to assign property "imageName" on null

sgravelle

For the past several months I've been receiving this error message almost every day as an email from our server (see the full email attached)

Error Code 0
Error Type Error
Message Attempt to assign property "imageName" on null
File /home/globalsparks/public_html/components/com_guru/views/guruauthor/tmpl/view.php
Line 36
Protocol https
Host globalsparks.com
Request /index.php/gurupro/teachers-list/guruauthor/view/99-azidzul-dzailrulhafiq-dzulkharnain
Referrer Direct
Method GET

Remote 35.140.27.146 (035-140-027-146.dhcp.bhn.net)

That instructor doesn't exist (might have at some point, so maybe the url is still showing in search engines or websites referring to that instructor).
What can be done to stop those messages? Or maybe redirect it to our homepage?
Tks,
Serge

sgravelle Hi

I enabled error reporting on your site but could not see this error, could you share the URL of this page?

sgravelle

Hi Saguaros!
The error appears when using this url: https://globalsparks.com/index.php/gurupro/teachers-list/guruauthor/view/99-azidzul-dzailrulhafiq-dzulkharnain

FYI, if I recall correctly, that error started about the time when we upgraded to Joomla 4, so maybe something didn't upgrade correctly in the database.

Regards,
Serge

Saguaros, for your info I just received this email (attached).
I assume you saw it in the error reporting.

sgravelle I can see the error and looking into it, will keep you posted.

Not urgent - it's just a bit annoying.
In case this could help, if there was a way to redirect that url to the new one created for that teacher, it would be ok with us.
If that is something possible, the link to redirect to would be: https://globalsparks.com/index.php/search-everything/faculty-members/list-of-trainers-faculty-members/guruauthor/view/220-azidzul-dzailrulhafiq-dzulkharnain

As you can see, the only difference between this redirect link and the original link is the ID number 220 instead of 99.

Serge

Hi,
I have added the code that enables you to configure redirection when a teacher is not found. The file that was modified is located at /components/com_guru/views/guruauthor/tmpl/view.php.

Kindly check.

That's great Manhta!
The issue with that particular teacher is resolved. I don't know of any other teacher that couldn't be found so I can't really test it at the present time.
I'll reopen this ticket if needed in the future.
Thank you very much!
Serge
