Hi,
i've just updated from drupal 7.43 to 7.50 + some fex modules and i come with the following error when trying to add (or edit) an entity refernced in a node :

Notice : Trying to get property of non-object in entityconnect_add() (ligne 43 in xxx/sites/all/modules/entityconnect/includes/entityconnect.menu.inc).
Exception : Entity type can not be empty in entityconnect_entityconnect_add_info() (ligne 96 in xxx/sites/all/modules/entityconnect/includes/entityconnect.menu.inc)

apparently $cache_id isn't set.

please help!!!
thx

Hi,

I'm sorry but I can't reproduce that issue on a fresh install with node article containing a entity reference field to an other node.

What kind of entity did you try to create from the node form ?

I'm experiencing a similar error as well when attempting to edit an ECK Entity via EntityConnect from a core Node Entity.

The error from the log is as follows:

Exception: Entity type can not be empty in entityconnect_eck_entityconnect_edit_info() (line 163 of /sites/all/modules/entityconnect/modules/entityconnect_eck/entityconnect_eck.module).

I'm using ECK-7.x-2.0-rc9.

Thoughts? Apologies if I should've opened another issue...

I had similar issues and narrowed it down to the cache class (I was using Redis).
Adding the following to the settings file was enough to get me moving again:

$conf['cache_class_cache_entityconnect'] = 'DrupalDatabaseCache';

#7 was a huge help. Was getting a similar error and WSOD using memcache and now everything seems to be fine.

Thank you!
