[Plugin: Advanced Access Manager] WP 3.3 Fatal Error

Hi Andrea,
Good call. The WP_DEBUG setup the highest notification level. That is why accessing empty property is treated as fatal error.
I’m not recommending to user E_ALL report level in fact it can cause some notifications, warning and also error.
Sorry, but it’ll take me 10 times more time to prevent any kind of warnings in WP_DEBUG mode then to develop Advanced Access Manager from scratch.
The easiest solution for you is just go to advanced-access-manager/module/class-module_user.php and replace the function getCurrentUserRole with next code:
function getCurrentUserRole() {

if (is_object($this->data) && isset($this->data->{$this->cap_key})) {
$result = $this->data->{$this->cap_key};
} else {
$result = array();
}

return $result;
}

I will include this code in next release 1.5.

Thanks again for this report.

Thanks Vasyl

now everything works fine.

Had the same error and your code fixed it but now your plugin is not working. All the settings i make are ignored

Hi jimaek,
Please be sure that you do everything right and saving setting for proper User Role. And remember that for Super Admin Role all settings are ignored.

Im changing the correct role(contributor) and im testing it with the correct user.
Actually the “Capabilities” seems to be working but “Main Menu” and “Metaboxes & widgets” stopped working, i cant hide anything.

That is why ?? Let me check what new surprise guys from core WordPress team prepared today ??
Oh, I you talking about the latest release of WP?

Yes i updated today to 3.3 and applied the above code to fix the 500 errors and since then i have this problem.

Interesting. This fix has nothing to do with metaboxes and menu. But I will check it today.
Thanks for info

Ok, if you want you can mail me to help you debug the problem. https://hidden-email.com/img.php?hash=uTeAIQzL9fjoqSh

Same here, updated from 3.2.1 to 3.3 and blog entries not visible anymore. – Rewinded the DB back to to 3.2.1 and back to working state.

error.log:
[<date>] [error] [client <IP>] PHP Fatal error: Cannot access empty property in /var/www/<blog-vhost>/wp-content/plugins/advanced-access-manager/module/class-module_user.php on line 34

Nonetheless a big thanks for the functionality of this plugins until – it ads exactly what I’m missing in normal WordPress ??

Can you update plugin?

Vasil, thank a lot for the prompt fix!!!
BTW, in my case after upgrading 3.2.1 to 3.3 everything else works pretty well. No problems with settings updating.
jimaek, are you sure you databases were updated successfully?

Guys thanks for all your feedbacks. Today in the evening I’ll check all these issue.
I’m just surprised how fast people hurry to mark it as broken even when Advanced Access Manager is clearly specified that is compatible up to 3.2.1 ??
I need one-two days to check whats new in WP3.3 messed up and find the compatible solution between 3.2.1 and 3.3.

Thank you for getting right on this, Vasyl! Your plugin is super.

ETA: For what it’s worth, I have the same issue as jimaek, where nothing is actually hidden even when I hide metaboxes or what have you through the plugin interface. As jimaek said, the user can’t actually DO anything if they don’t have the capabilities, but the menus still show up in the dashboard. Who knows?

Guys new 1.4.3 release have just been posted.
This is emergency release and I fixed some issues.
spsmw and jimaek I was not able to reproduce the fault. Would be nice to send me login to your WP website so I’ll be able to check what is wrong.
Probably this is some unpleasant issue with database during upgrade.

Thanks everybody for help and sorry for these inconveniences.
This is only WordPress ??
