Topic on Extension talk:UserFunctions

I'm seeing this error with MW 1.21 and UserFunctions 2.4.2:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getNamespace() on a non-object in /usr/share/mediawiki/extensions/UserFunctions/UserFunctions.php on line 69

It looks like what's failing is this:

$cur_ns = RequestContext::getMain()->getTitle()->getNamespace();

Apparently getTitle() is not returning an object.

Here's a patch which fixes the bug.

This post is Old but al try to assist you guys experiencing this error. What happens is that when the response from the SoapCall is returned it fails to get captured with the simplexml_load_string so a workaround to assist you those facing this problem. First capture the response in an xml $request = file_put_contents('response.xml',$data); Then load the xml captured using simplexml_load_file the trick is ordinary xml will get captured but an xml response with namespaces has to be treated differently this is how i managed to sort out the issue in php
