modx php object is not defined?

tothconnor — Jun 05, 2016, 07:36 PM

I created a snippet with the following line

  $modx->getChunk('LinkedMenuItem');

and I get the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getChunk() on a non-object in C:\wamp\www\test-modx\modx\core\cache\includes\elements\modsnippet\1.include.cache.php on line 84

What exactly has gone wrong?

That will do it. Addding this at the top of the function will often work:

global $modx;

If not, you can pass $modx to the function as an argument.

Are you running the snippet outside of MODX somehow?

If so, see this: http://bobsguides.com/blog.html/2013/07/13/using-modx-outside-of-modx/.

If you're in MODX (iow, the snippet tag is in a resource or chunk), you'll have to post the code of the snippet with the ID of 1 before we can help you.

Thank you for your reply, I solved the issue. I was using the $modx variable in a function that was not properly written for MODX in that it didn't have the if (function_exists)
