Homebox integration via Features

I believe I am experiencing the same issue. I have a homebox layout included in one of my features and it also fails to revert on my multisite. Other features seem to function properly but when I look at diff it looks like there's a problem with the homebox layout being overwritten.

Edit: I also get the following code if I view the overwritten state

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in homebox_features_export_render() (line 64 of /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/subdomains/staging/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/homebox/homebox.features.inc).
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in homebox_features_export_render() (line 68 of /var/www/vhosts/MYSITE.com/subdomains/staging/httpdocs/sites/all/modules/homebox/homebox.features.inc).

I've tried to revert using the UI as well as in Drush to no avail

I fixed my error and I think it was a different problem than the OP is experiencing. Somehow the machine name for my Homebox was not all lower case and so it was not re-creating the homebox on the second site. I manually changed the machine name to all lowercase, updated the feature and now it successfully built out the homebox.

Hello Guys,
for any of you still with this problem. The issue is with the Homebox code for features.
The file with the error is: homebox.features.inc.

The problem is the implementation on homebox_features_revert($module = NULL)
The code is trying to homebox_delete_page($name); while actually the page has never been created and added to the database. (That's also the reason why you get the Notice message.

I fixed it by updating the code in the hook to actually create the Homebox page.
One thing to note is that I didn't have access to the Page's name, so I'm using the title.
Also, the module_invoke is returning an array while the homebox_save_page function needs an object.

Here is my implementation:

function homebox_features_revert($module = NULL) {
    // Get homebox pages from feature
    if (module_hook($module, 'homebox')) {
        $pages = module_invoke($module, 'homebox');

        foreach($pages as $page) {
            $pageToSave = new stdClass();
            $pageToSave->name = $page['title'];
            $pageToSave->settings = $page;
            $saved = homebox_save_page($pageToSave);
        }
    }
}

I hope it helps!

I second this, fixed my homebox feature and allowed it to import. Thanks for the code!

Non-overridden homebox pages should not be stored in the database. Homeboxes can be defined either by code, like your_feature_homebox() in your_feature.features.inc or in the database. Calling homebox_delete_page() gets the DB version out of the way so code can take over.

I did find my test homebox couldn't be overridden. Homebox pages from hook_homebox() are passed through homebox_check_page_object(). In my case, it was considered invalid for a silly reason, there wasn't at least one block. I committed a fix to not require that. I suspect there are other silly checks in homebox_check_page_object().

Here's a patch that adds a drupal_alter so it can be overridden.

Please create a new Drupal 8+ (3.0.x) issue, referencing this one, if this is still relevant for Drupal 8+ (3.0.x).

As this issue was created for Drupal 7 which is close to EOL and won't receive any new features here anymore (unless someone implements them or sponsors development) I'm closing this issue for cleanup now.

If anyone works on this or has a solution, feel free to reopen! :)
Thank you.
