Error reports - when leaving a page with comments on

To enlarge a bit on the above, the "1. Notice:" code refers to loading a user picture, but the users who are warned have not downloaded pictures.

The site appears to function satisfactorily in spite of the warnings.

OK, Setting up user pictures removed the problem. As the code error hinted, it seems to be an incompatiblity when "user picture" is not enabled in Marinelli set-up. Then errors occur when "comments" are being handled (edited, deleted, saved). I'm not hot on php, so can't point to a fix, but obviously this gap needs to be plugged.

The following pair of error reports still arise in about 1/20 edit or save activities, irrespective of user picture settings. I'm unable to establish a repeatable pattern of activities which causes the warnings. They have arisen when I've been editing/saving with admin permissions, and also with users having only permission to add comments:

1. Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in marinelli_preprocess_comment() (line 204 of /home/jimbsail/public_html/drupal/sites/all/themes/marinelli/template.php).

2. Warning: array_flip() [function.array-flip]: Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values! in DrupalDefaultEntityController->load() (line 178 of /home/jimbsail/public_html/drupal/includes/entity.inc).

I'm using CK editor, latest version, just re-installed, and the appropriate WYSYWYG partner module. No idea where to look next.

I posted this problem on the Drupal core forum. See http://drupal.org/node/1102570

The opinion there was "nearly 100%" this was due Marinelli coding. The warnings are still irregularly occurring, and I have been unable to establish a pattern. Only an admin sees the warnings, though sometimes they are created when users log in or add comments. On the Drupal core link you can see my full installation details. One other user there reported the same problem.

Good observation CDU. You're right. The warnings appear in "reports" after anyone views a page with comments. The warnings are in pairs, and there's one pair of warnings for each comment. So your list above would have arisen after viewing a page with six comments attached.

An admin sees the warnings in white text with red background immediately below title when he moves to a new page after vewing a page with comments. Users see nothing. Both create reports.

This suggests an error in the way Marinelli loads individual comments. But I'm no php expert, so that's the end of my ability to diagnose . . . over to the Marinelli team!

The error reports noted above occur in my case when any user moves from a page with comments on to any other node. On my site, only users can see and post comments. It does not occur when anonymous users (who can't see comments) move between pages. This is a quite unacceptable feature for a production site.

To see the feature in action, go to jimbsail.info , subscribe to the site as a user, log in, then go to "play pen", and then move to any other page.

OK, I've found a work-around, but the bug remains.

In Drupal account settings, enable "user pictures", appoint a pictures directory, and supply a default picture.

In Marinelli settings, toggle "user pictures in comments" on.

Errors then no longer appear. I guess a highly desirable bug fix for this would have an "if no picture" statement in the php code to cope with incompatible Drupal/Marinelli settings. This is well outside my ability and comfort zone, so I can't help further.

Many thanks Daedalon. That's a fix for me.
