I enabled the Blog module and set permissions. Eventually, the client decided not to use it. I disabled the module.

Now, when I click on the "Create content" link, I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in (domain-name)/includes/common.inc on line 1596

Re-enabling the Blog module did not help. If I type "node/add/story" at the end of the URL, I can add an instance of that content type, and I can see the other valid content types under the "Create content" link in the menu. The "Blog entry" type is still in the list of valid types. I can click on the other types and add content, but when I click on "Blog entry," I get the above error message.

I also get this error message if I try to edit the Navigation menu from the Menu module.

I think this needs to be fixed soon. What a mess!

I went into the database and table "menu_links" using PHPMyAdmin. I found a record with a "router_path" of "node/add/blog"

I deleted that record using PHPMyAdmin, and the Fatal Error is gone.

The Blog module needs to clean itself up properly when it's disabled.

I hope this info is helpful to the developers. The problem is repeatable. By the way, when I disabled the Blog module, no blog entries had been created yet. I don't know if that makes a difference.

I tried to repeat the process after adding a Blog Entry. The Fatal Error does not recur once I have added a Blog Entry even if I delete the entry before disabling the Blog module.

I hope this info helps the developers zero-in on the problem.

Cannot reproduce in D7. Bumping to D6-dev for consideration.

Hi RonB,

Just to be sure we're all singing from the same songsheet (=we're all looking at the same piece of code), can you:

  • say exactly what version of Drupal you are using
  • if possible, copy/paste here the line 1596 with the lines around it (plus or minus 10 lines, i.e. 1586 to 1606), clearly marking the line 1596

I'd be happy if I could reproduce this, but can't.

Please reopen if you can provide more info which helps others to reproduce.

Here is what I did:

  1. install clean 6.19 Drupal
  2. try "create content" (OK)
  3. enable the blog module (http://localhost/drupal-6.19/?q=admin/build/modules)
  4. try "create content" (OK)
  5. disable the blog module (http://localhost/drupal-6.19/?q=admin/build/modules)
  6. try "create content" (OK)
