joomla 1.5, Fatal error: Class 'JModelList' not found

Question

A joomla site is giving me this error:

Fatal error: Class 'JModelList' not found in /home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_joomdoc/libraries/joomdoc/application/component/modellist.php on line 16

I only noticed it this morning when i tried the search, The last time i worked on the site was over a month ago (Installing , removing extentions, fixing errors ....) so i can't really figure out at wich point this error surfaced.

I read somewhere that The class JModelList is not used in Joomla 1.5 (what i'm using) .... i don't know how that could happen because i made sur that the extentions i'm using supported joomla 1.5 and i never made an upgrade.

Just in case, the line 16 of modellist.php is

jimport('joomla.application.component.modellist');

class JoomDOCModelList extends JModelList { ...

Help!

thank you.

Answer 1

JModelList is indeed not available in Joomla 1.5. It was introduced with Joomla 1.6.

Apparently the extension isn't compatible with Joomla 1.5 anymore in this case. You have to contact the developer of the extension to get more information or notify him of the bug.

But then, you should upgrade Joomla anyway. You're using an unsupported version.

Answer 2

Like you said, JModelList is not part of Joomla 1.5, so your extension is not compatible to Joomla 1.5.

Joomla does not update anything itselfs. If you have not changed anything, someone else has.
