Sticky [Resolved] Fatal error: Call to a member function authorisedLevels() on a non-object in /administrator/components/com_kunena/libraries/integration/joomla16/access.php on line 57

Restoring the original Joomla files made the forum work again... For now I'll leave it version 2.55

I also have the same error..
500 Internal Server Error.
Fatal Error.

I've installed everything fresh on localhost. Trying to build a new website. Joomla worked just fine. Played around a bit and nothing gave me any errors. Installed Kunena, tried accessing the only one thread available and got the error. Tried reinstalling Kunena and Joomla both but nothing seems to solve the error. It seems to be an inbuilt issue within Kunena package.

Here're the s/w details...
Joomla 2.5.6
PHP 5.3.14
Apache 2.2.11
MySql 5.5.25
Kunena 2.0.0

Any help?

Having the same issue and so far nothing I read in this thread helped:

my website forum can be found at www.sr-computers.co.il/forum

I get the following error when browsing the forum, I used one of the fixes suggested here but it just allowing to continue browsing after pressing F5 to reload

The Error:

I added the following line to the access.php file on line 56, as I said, now refreshing allows to continue browsing but logged in users need to log in again as it log the user out:

all kunena menu items have their default aliases, just the name changed to my language, help menu item changed to point to an external link so no alias there.

the problem happens pretty much every 2nd click in the forum, for example, I entered a category find, trying to go back to the index gives the index gives error.

My server is based on Windows Server 2008, PHP 5.x, don't know exact version, mySQL 5.x as well, kunena 1.7.2, Joomla 2.5.6

I really can't seem to find the problem, any help?

BTW, also have a problem using SEO link system in kunena, only works when off or set to use ID numbers in SEO URL, full SEO on causes either the index to reload or a 400 bad request error.

All settings are set according to the instructions I read on how to set SEO.


EDIT:
Just noticed another issue, strangely enough, if I login through the website login form and not the kunena one, the problem seems to go away but when I try to access latest topics or my topics menu items I get redirected back to index and the menu turn back to the way it should look for a non logged in user (without the latest topics, my topics, etc. tabs) but I remain logged in and can continue browse the forum.

also, the same menu items go away if I just browse on to a second page in the forum, for example: from the category I'm in to the index.

Don't know if the problems are related or not.

it has been over 2 days and I'm still waiting for an answer, if someone want to see the problem for itself I can give you relevant links and instruction with a test user credentials to see the issues.

500 Internal errors are persistent, only way to avoid it is by logging in through the main login on the website and then instead of the 500 internal error, after browsing 2 pages in the forum, it shows as if the user is still connected bu behaves as the user is logged out and when trying to use the website login option it only brings the logout page.

I have been quite patient with waiting for an answer for over 2 days now, I need help.

And Just so you know, I have taken steps with the hosting provider to check on their end and see if they can help, they are still checking & I'm not ruling out a server end problem but I still want to try other things on my end.

@vollach: I feel with you and my visitors have to deal with this issue since months.
This thread here does not solve the problem and actually the Kunena devs/coders have (probably) no clue what this error causes.

I want to make it clear: I don't blame the devs for not finding a solution because I can imagine how hard they work on the new kunena version.
I also don't want to stress here because this is not my nature but I need to make it clear that this error costs me and my visitors not only nerves.
I lose a lot of traffic because of this. People will not come back to my site if they cannot visit the forum. I lose money because of this.

The only question I want to make here is: What does this error mean?
I think the devs should know it.

Call to a member function authorisedLevels()

I'm not a pro coder but it is obvious to me that it has something to do with "user authorization".
The problem is on my site ONLY for logged out users (visitors).
As soon as the user logs in (doesn't matter through which login form) the error does not appear anymore.
The problem in my case can be still "skipped" by hitting F5 (2-3 times) and then it does not happen anymore as long as the browser is not closed.
I have added the code. Without the code the error is permanently present.

I find it really strange that it happens only the first 2-3 visits and then not anymore.
Doesn't also matter which browser.
My team and I tested it now since months.

I deeply hope that someone can have (again) a look at this here because this is not really passable.
:blush:

Actually, it seems as if the problem also occurred on kunena 2 for some people, on version 2 however, there seems to be a workaround for the issue but it doesn't work on kunena 1.7 series, I wish somebody could adjust that workaround for 1.7.x series.
