Joomla 1.6 Program

[two4god07]

The host server I use automatically installs Joomla for you. I just bought a new domain today and was unaware that Joomla 1.6 had been released as I haven't built a new site for a while.

The layout I used to build this new site on my computer.. which I have put hours into... Does not work in Joomla 1.6.

It gives me this error


Fatal error: Call to a member function getCfg() on a non-object in /home/content/08/4759008/html/rnh/templates/siteground-j15-74/index.php on line 57

I have attached a .txt version of the index.php it's talking about because it wouldn't let me attack a php document.

Is there any help you can offer me please? Thank you in advance.

Here's what it looks like live.

Nothing is showing up except the banner.

Never worked with Joomla 1.6 but a quick look at the code show that $mainframe variable seems to be inexistant.

After a 5 seconds Google search I found that solution for a similar problem:

$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();

FYI: This is the link I found: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=457894

I'm not too good with PHP.. which is Kinda why I use Joomla.

Do I paste that under the code.. Or do I replace the code with that?

If I was you, I'll do this:

<?php

defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );
JPlugin::loadLanguage( 'tpl_SG1' );

$mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();
?>

This way the $mainframe variable will be accessible everywhere in your index page.

That would fix the fatal error problem. The problem with my content showing up happened to be a 1.6 problem. It changed my layout positions to ones that didnt exist. With the error out of the way, I was able to figure that out. Thank you very much for your help!
