Re: [Pagekit-users] Can't call method get_global_attr

[Bill K. <bi...@ka...>]

Thanks Boris, as usual you have helped me greatly!  I used your 
suggestion of using Dumper, and I discovered that the call to 
$model->config wasn't returning a config object at all, and in fact the 
config function in Model.pm wasn't being called.

It turns out that I had created a page called "config" and a page 
handler function for it!  Because of the inheritence from the 
Apache::PageKit::Model package, my handler replaced the config 
subroutine in Model.pm, and of course my function doesn't returning the 
model's config object.  I changed my page to "appconfig" and now it works.

I guess I shouldn't try to debug issues like this after midnight!  ;-)

The background to this is that my employer wants a screen to allow him 
to change the user-config parameters for the application through the 
browser, instead of editing the Config.xml file.  I made a screen to do 
it, and moved most of the user-config parameters out of Config.xml and 
into a table in our MySQL database (except for the DSN of course).

Many thanks,
Bill Karwin
