[solved] Blank page for Manage comments and import in backend

[bathyon]

Hi!
Tried to search the forum but couldn't find any relevant thread.
Just installed Jcomments and it seems really nice. Installation went well with all steps marked as successfull.
The problem now is that when I am in the backend and click "Manage comments" I only get a white page. The same happens when I click "Import comments". All other backend menus work fine and the comments in the frontend seems to work fine also.

I have uninstalled the component and reinstalled it.
The site uses Joomla 1.6.3 Stable
Php: 5.2.17
Jcomments 2.3.0

I'm sorry, but I'm a total noob regarding problems like this.

It looks like some compatibility issue with Joomla 1.6. I suggest you to update your Joomla to 2.5...

Here's the problem...

Fatal error:  Cannot access protected property JToolBar::$_name in /home/<user>/public_html/administrator/components/com_jcomments/classes/button/jcommentspopup.php on line 27

To fix it, just open the file above and change this:

Code:

function fetchId($type = 'JCommentsPopup', $name)
{
if (defined('JPATH_PLATFORM')) {
return $this->_parent->getName() . '-' . $name;
} else {
return $this->_parent->_name . '-' . $name;
}
}

To this:

Code:

function fetchId($type = 'JCommentsPopup', $name)
{
return $this->_parent->getName() . '-' . $name;
}

If you're not comfortable editing JComments code, upgrading your Joomla installation is your only other option.

I think it's more easy to use this code than  update joomla .
