hi
I just downloaded your nice component, and I tried to install it on a J 2.5.24 website.
However if I click on Components - EventGallery , I receive the following error

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class JLayout in home/administrator/components/com_eventgallery/helpers/legacy_layout.php on line 20

I googled before writing but found no help

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Joomla 2.5 does not declare JLayout itself. Event Gallery defines it in order to prevent code duplication for supporting J3 and j2.5. So the question is where the initial declaration is coming from. Please do a full text search over all PHP files for JLayout in your webroot folder. This should solve this riddle.

Hi
Yes, indeed, the Fabrik component declares this class as well.

Can you imagine why this component is active while Event Gallery is getting displayed? Where exactly did you found this other file?

Not sure where this conflict is coming from. But to shortcut this you can try to patch the Event Gallery files.

Open the folder /administrator/components/com_eventgallery/helpers
empty the file legacy_base.php
if you get the next error message, check the other 4 files prefixed with 'legacy_' and empty it too.

Keep in mind that this patch will stop working if you uninstall Fabrik.

Hi
I have already tried that before seeing your reply.
Emptying the files solves the problem.
However, I would put an "IF" clause in EG, to see if that method is already instanced.

Having said that, it works but it slows down the whole site.
I love your component, but I need to have more time to check all this details with you.

Thanks for your help so far.

Adding an "IF" is not necessary. But however you're solving this, it will not have any influence on the sites performance. Especially in case of this particular file since it's only active in the back end and only if Event Gallery shows up. It will not "slows down the whole site".

I suggest to check the active plugins. I suspect some magic class loading plugins there...

Since this is a public ticket: plugins which are unrelated to Event Gallery! ;-)
