Event Submit Fatal error string in browser

[Dennis Caffey]

Hi,

I’m having an issue when submitting an event into the database. The event submits fine into the
system (creates the /events/ page and details are dropped in, including any custom fields… etc..

The email responses are looking good

What happens is this error in the browser instead of a redirect after the form is submitted
NOTE: I tested this for both a redirect to another page and for staying on the form with a success message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function format() on a non-object in /home/lv2015x/public_html/wp-content/plugins/event-organiser/includes/event-organiser-utility-functions.php on line 36

Not sure how to address this… any help is very welcome

Best,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Unfortunately that error is fairly ‘upstream’: at some point the plug-in is trying to retrieve a string representation of a DateTime object, but the object it has is not a DateTime object. This error here is just the symptom – the real problem is what that object is not a DateTime instance.

It would be helpful to know the trace which leads to the error. For this I’d recommend adding the following to line 33:

if ( ! ( $var instanceof DateTime ) ) {
     echo wp_debug_backtrace_summary();
}

If you need any assistance with this, I’d be happy to help.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your input and time on responding..

I did add that string in the php file and this is what now is generated in the browser after submitting the “Submit Event” form:

require(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, EO_Event_Form_Controller::listen_for_submission, EO_Event_Form_Controller::form_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_validate_fes_form_submission’), call_user_func_array, _eo_es_process_event_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_fes_submitted_event’), call_user_func_array, eventorganiser_fes_email_admin_post_submission, eventorganiser_fes_email_form_submission_list, eo_format_datetimerequire(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, EO_Event_Form_Controller::listen_for_submission, EO_Event_Form_Controller::form_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_validate_fes_form_submission’), call_user_func_array, _eo_es_process_event_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_fes_submitted_event’), call_user_func_array, eventorganiser_fes_email_admin_post_submission, eventorganiser_fes_email_form_submission_list, eo_format_datetimerequire(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, EO_Event_Form_Controller::listen_for_submission, EO_Event_Form_Controller::form_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_validate_fes_form_submission’), call_user_func_array, _eo_es_process_event_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_fes_submitted_event’), call_user_func_array, eventorganiser_fes_email_submitter_post_submission, eventorganiser_fes_email_template_tags, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse, preg_replace_callback, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse_tag, eventorganiser_fes_email_form_submission_list, eo_format_datetimerequire(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, EO_Event_Form_Controller::listen_for_submission, EO_Event_Form_Controller::form_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_validate_fes_form_submission’), call_user_func_array, _eo_es_process_event_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_fes_submitted_event’), call_user_func_array, eventorganiser_fes_email_submitter_post_submission, eventorganiser_fes_email_template_tags, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse, preg_replace_callback, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse_tag, eventorganiser_fes_email_form_submission_list, eo_format_datetimerequire(‘wp-blog-header.php’), require_once(‘wp-load.php’), require_once(‘wp-config.php’), require_once(‘wp-settings.php’), do_action(‘init’), call_user_func_array, EO_Event_Form_Controller::listen_for_submission, EO_Event_Form_Controller::form_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_validate_fes_form_submission’), call_user_func_array, _eo_es_process_event_submission, do_action(‘eventorganiser_fes_submitted_event’), call_user_func_array, eventorganiser_fes_email_submitter_post_submission, eventorganiser_fes_email_template_tags, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse, preg_replace_callback, EO_FES_Email_Template_Tag_Parser->parse_tag, eo_format_datetime

=> I’ve now pulled that debug string down you sent as it was generating the code above across multiple locations (backend and frontend)

Please advise…and if you need access to the site .. I’m happy to set you up with Admin control and/or an FTP access…etc..
=> If you want to simply setup a basic subscriber account to look over the submissions form and the site … feel free to click on the big eyesore of a CTA top right in the header…

Thank you again for your help

Hi Dennis,

I’ve just sent you an e-mail regarding this.

[Stephen Harris]

Just an update for anyone else experiencing this problem. This was found to be a bug with the %submission_date% email placeholder tag. And update shall be released shortly.

Until that release it is recommended to remove that tag from your e-mail notification settings.

[Dennis Caffey]

Dear Stephen,

Thank you so much for your help with correcting this bug. Our site is now working properly and we can mover
forward with other development. I will be recommending your plugin and addons to folks I engage with.

Thanks again for you help.. 😉

Dennis
