Content - SEBLOD plugin conflict with latest EasyBlog 5.1.5

After updating StackIdeas' EasyBlog component from version 5.0.44 to 5.1.5, the blog page on frontend returns "Error: 0 - Call to a member function set() on string"

I disabled some plugins and found when I disable Content - SEBLOD plugin the blog page works as expected.

Support ticket with StackIdeas suggests the Content - SEBLOD plugin code doesn't add a proper check whether the param really received the value or not. See StackIdeas forum post at https://stackideas.com/forums/easyblog-5-1-x-conflict-with-seblod-content-plugin#reply-332296

In /plugins/content/cck/cck.php :

public function onContentBeforeDisplay( $context, &$article, &$params, $limitstart = 0 )
{
if ( JCck::getConfig_Param( 'hide_edit_icon', 0 ) ) {
if (isset($article->params)) {
$article->params->set( 'access-edit', false );
}
}
return '';
}

Replace with the following fixes the problem:

public function onContentBeforeDisplay( $context, &$article, &$params, $limitstart = 0 )
{
if ( JCck::getConfig_Param( 'hide_edit_icon', 0 ) ) {

if (isset($article->params) && $article->params) {

$article->params->set( 'access-edit', false );
}
}
return '';
}

Is this a bug in this SEBLOD plugin? Will this hack break other SEBLOD functionality? This hack is the only solution I've found to make EasyBlog 5.1.5 work with SEBLOD 3.10.0.

StackIdeas suggested I pass this issue and possible solution on to you.

Thanks, Richard

Hi,

this won't break any functionality, it just adds a check if params are not empty. Please report this on github tracker so we can add it to the next release.
