Fatal error on field edit page

louisk 4 Jun 2014 14:55 problem, complete

When I try to edit some fields (create new channel field) in EE 2.8.1 and Low Reorder 2.2.3 and PHP 5.3/5.4/5.5, I get a Fatal Error!

( ! ) Fatal error: Call to undefined method EE_Fieldtype::EE_Fieldtype() in /[edited]/system/expressionengine/third_party/low_reorder/ft.low_reorder.php on line 47

What to do?

    Did you recently upgrade from an older version? Low Reorder 2 doesn't use a fieldtype, so the file it is referring to shouldn't be there in the first place.

    I upgrade every time there is a new version, so it could be that it's a left over from before...?
    I deleted the ft file and now the error is gone :)
    Thanks!

    Is deleting that file the best way to resolve this problem? I am having the same error (only shorter) when upgrading to the most recent version of Low Reorder (2.2.3) using the Updater module with all of my sites.

    Yes. I don't know if Updater removes all files when updating, or just overwrites existing ones, leaving the possible obsolete files (which it should, really).
