Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found (during installation)

By davidmcc3 on 27 Apr 2011 at 09:20 UTC

Yesterday:

Downloaded Drupal Commons 6.x.1.5 Unzipped and loaded to server in sub-folder (using FileZilla ftp). Followed Drupal 6 installation instructions. After specifying db info, got error:

Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found in /home/wowuk/public_html/drpc/profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/panels/plugins/export_ui/panels_layouts_ui.class.php on line 4

Searched forum, found only one mention, checked suggestions, none helped.

Deleted all files & db from server.

Today

Changed base folder name in zipped file (from drupal_commons to drpc). Loaded zipped file to server (FileZilla). Uncompressed file using cPanel tool.
Created new db etc., set permissions ... all as per Install Instructions.
Started install ... getting same error message:

Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found in /home/wowuk/public_html/drpc/profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/panels/plugins/export_ui/panels_layouts_ui.class.php on line 4

Completely lost at this point. Can anyone help resolve this?

I've just encountered this same thing, only with enabling Views UI. Subscribing.

Same here :

This fixed it for me

Used the previous version

The linked 'fix' didn't work ... this was a completely fresh install.

Eventually downloaded the previous version - this worked fine.

Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found (after upgrade)

I just upgraded to 7.2 last night and now I get the same error (but only on the Admin view, not a normal user). I'm fairly new to Drupal, so I'm not sure what to do here:

Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found in .../sites/all/modules/panels/panels_mini/plugins/export_ui/panels_mini_ui.class.php on line 3

I did try removing and reinstalling the ctools module... but to no effect. Thanks for any help!

temp solution

vasna sdoeung commented 27 May 2011 at 19:34

This error is preventing me from login into my site. I had to do a temporary solution by adding a line to include the chaos tool export in the panels_mini_ui.class.php.

Go into sites/all/modules/panels/panels_mini/plugins/export_ui/panels_mini_ui.class.php.
Add the absolute path to line 2: include('/MyAbsolutePath/sites/all/modules/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php');

That allowed me to log in and seemed to fixed the problem. I hope someone finds a way to patch this.

Your solution worked for me as well

paulgemini commented 27 May 2011 at 19:53

Will await permanent solution.

Hi, i have a problem here

eule commented 27 May 2011 at 20:13

Hi, i have a problem here posted http://drupal.org/node/1170646 i don´t see any in my admin aera and can do nothing..no cach flush or any other. i use panels on a site and here i have the edit button working ..if i try it i become this error.

    Notice: Undefined index: panel_node_form in drupal_retrieve_form() (line 735 of ./includes/form.inc).
    Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'panel_node_form' was given in drupal_retrieve_form() (line 770 of ./includes/form.inc).

thats the only thing what i see or can do on the site after updating 7.0 -> 7.2

Thanks!

dementad commented 27 May 2011 at 21:00

At least now I can login... thanks for the quick workaround.

fix

@temp solution, thanks that worked but still gives errors, all works after if mini panels is disabled, not a solution for people using those features

Please, someone can explain

Jose Chaves commented 30 May 2011 at 14:10

Please, someone can explain to me how to add the line suggested in temp solution?

Add the absolute path to line 2: include('/MyAbsolutePath/sites/all/modules/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php');

Thanks

to add the code -

donok commented 9 June 2011 at 01:23

This took me a couple tries - but is really easy -- paste it into line 2 of the panels_mini_ui.class.php file

<?php
include('/MyAbsolutePath/sites/all/modules/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php');
class panels_mini_ui... (etc)

Now, /MyAbsolutePath above has to be replaced with the beginning of the path you are getting in the error page - min was:

/home/accountname/public_html/

making it:
include('/home/accountname/public_html/sites/all/modules/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php');

easy. I then refreshed and immediately Flushed all caches. Funny, but the site did not like the code in there after it was fixed, so I returned to the file and removed the added code. All good now.

btw, I replaced both panels and ctools with the latest dev versions before I did this...

Thank you

Solve it!

lucho77cba commented 31 May 2011 at 19:07

I had this problem when installing some modules in version 7.2, I thought I was not going to be able to resolve but in the end it succeeds.
I tell as solved:
They go into the modules folder and delete the folders "panels" and "ctools", then run update.php and try to enter the site, they will fail, unable to find files.
Lower the latest version of these modules and rise again, and that should take them.
I think there needs to be done just as he did me, but good, so I worked to me.

Tuve este problema al instalar unos módulos en la versión 7.2, pensé que no lo iba a poder solucionar pero al final lo logre.
Les cuento como lo solucione:
Entran a la carpeta de módulos y borran las carpetas “panels” y “ctools”, luego ejecutan update.php e intentan entrar al sitio, les va a dar error, al no encontrar archivos.
Bajan la última versión de estos módulos y los suben de nuevo, y ahí debería tomarlos.
Creo que no hace falta hacer así tal cual lo hice yo, pero bueno, así me funciono a mí.

merlinofchaos commented 1 June 2011 at 23:31

I've spent most of my day trying to track this down.

1) I can't reproduce the problem locally, and I've been trying everything I can think of to make it actually happen for me.
2) The error seems to indicate that something is wrong with either Drupal's class autoload or CTools' usage of it. I can't tell which, because I can't get a system into this state to investigate what is actually wrong.

For most people, cache clears seem to fix it. Using drush and 'drush cc all' is the easiest way. update.php can do it. Navigating to the performance page and using its cache clear can do it. Going into mysql and doing DELETE FROM cache might do it.

barwonhack commented 1 June 2011 at 23:58

The updates to ctools fixed it. You just need to hammer the cache a bit.

We've found the problem.

Clear cache twice

bcreeves commented 8 June 2011 at 06:01

I had the same problem and clearing cache (twice) took care of it.

Clearing twice solved for me

codeglyph commented 26 May 2013 at 21:03

Clearing twice solved for me too.
Clearing just once isn't enough.
Thnx.
Nope ...sorry.. still have to try I guess :)

Have posted below my solution.

Wrong file name

Andreas Renggli commented 9 June 2011 at 08:59

I experienced exactly the same problem and found a way to solve it:

In /drupal_commons/profiles/drupal_commons/modules/contrib/ctools/plugins/export_ui I saw that the file ctools_export_ui.inc was named ctools_export_ui.inc0000644. After changing the file name to ctools_export_ui.inc it worked.

And now I see that there are around 60 other files which have this 0000644 add-on as well.

It got fixed !!

I did the include statement, and I cleared the cash after that, i had it working 100%

Clearing the cache didn't work for me

Anonymous (not verified) commented 10 October 2011 at 06:47

I tried clearing the cache about five times and run cron.

I had to upgrade to dev version and run update before it would let me install it without the fatal error.

Happened after upgrade to

codeglyph commented 26 May 2013 at 21:02

Happened after upgrade to CTOOLS 7.x.-1.3

The class ctools_export_ui is defined in sites/all/modules/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php which after the upgrade was altogether missing ... I had to copy the file from the old module version and then clean the cache. Now it all works fine. The same class is referenced multiple times from the ctools module also, i'm not sure how this file came to be missing from the new version, maybe an upgrade glitch or something?

error message was:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'ctools_export_ui' not found in ../sites/all/modules/views/plugins/export_ui
/views_ui.class.php on line 13

quick solution

seemas commented 3 December 2015 at 10:30

It often happens to me too and I did not figure out why. Just for quick fix I insert

INSERT INTO `registry` (`name`, `type`, `filename`, `module`, `weight`) VALUES
('ctools_export_ui', 'class', '%%%%%%/ctools/plugins/export_ui/ctools_export_ui.class.php', 'ctools', 0);

%%%%%% - replace this with the path prefix to your file.

bob.hinrichs commented 22 November 2017 at 20:19

I ran into this issue today, I'm afraid. Stack traces do not indicate that it comes from our customizations but usually thing like this occur from that; however, it is the only problem of its sort that we have. Also, it makes us unable to run drush cc, rr, updb and the site pages are all inaccessible. For this reason my best hunch is that there is a part of ctools, panels or panels_mini that is missing a files[] entry in the .info file -- but I'm not able to tell exactly where. Placing the file include for ctools_export_ui.class.php at the top of the panels_mini_ui.class.php caused the registry to resume building, and thereafter the site is fine (and this line isn't needed anymore).
