Undefined property: EE::$TMPL

Scott Jones 9 Aug 2012 12:39 problem, complete

HI I am writing a custom module for my work place and we use the Low Variables module (which is awesome)
however the error i am getting is as follows:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: EE::$TMPL

Filename: low_variables/mod.low_variables.php

Line Number: 362

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetch_param() on a non-object in {file_system}/third_party/low_variables/mod.low_variables.php on line 362

It seems to be loosing the EE super object?

my extension is running a hook to update the global vars/snippets.

   FYI im using EE v2.5.2 and low variables v2.3.0

   As you might guess, I cannot replicate this.
   
   Are you sure you're not overwriting the EE super object with something else?

   HI,
   
   Yeah i thought it might be a tough one. It might be worth sending you my code for the extension (it basically loads the EE template library, loads the Global Vars/snippets and for each snippet/GV parses it through the template library in order to allow the user to have module code in the snippets, eg {exp:module:function})
   
   I can send the code but the basics are as follows:
   

    
    $this->EE =& get_instance(); 
    $this->EE->load->library('Template'); 
    foreach($this->EE->config->_global_vars AS $key => $val) 
    { 
   
       $this->EE->config->_global_vars[$key] = $this->EE->template->parse($val); 
    } 
    

   
   
   as you can see not a lot going on. i am running this as an extension though bu i cant see that im overwriting the EE super object..

   Do you need to load the Template library? Isn't it already loaded? That might cause some issues, perhaps.

   If i take out the template loading then it crashes at the start..i am using the following hook point: core_template_route

   What if you load it like this:
   
   

   $this->EE->load->library('Template', 'TMPL');

   
   
   ...and then use $this->EE->TMPL in your addon.

   hmm although that should have worked it was giving me an error:
   undefined EE:TMPL
   
   will take a look into it.
