I'm just starting out with Xoops and on a steep learning curve, but this problems got me completely stalled, so I'd be grateful for advice.

I wasn't able to view the newbb forum on my website, and when I activated the bug detection, I got this message:

"Fatal error: Call to a member function addJS() on a non-object in /-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/htdocs/modules/newbb/header.php on line 57"

Here's what I reckon is the relevant bit of the script:

$xTheme->addJS(XOOPS_URL."/modules/".$xoopsModule->getVar("dirname")."/include/js/newbb_toggle.js");
$xTheme->addJS(null, null, 'var toggle_cookie="'.$forumCookie['prefix'].'G'.'";');

I've checked, and newbb_toggle.js does exist and seems to be in the right place (include/js), but I don't even know where to begin looking for the forumCookie thing.

All help (in extremely simple language) greatly appreciated.

Thanks

PS I found two posts from 2008 with the identical problem, but they weren't resolved. Hope I have better luck

XOOPS, PHP, MySQL version?
Is this a new install of XOOPS and/or NewBB?
Did you install also the Frameworks (You should not!)?

Yes, I've installed it over the last couple of days. And Frameworks is part of the package in the latest version os Xoops, but thought you had to have Frameworks installed to run newbb? Should I uninstall Frameworks then?

The standard Frameworks of XOOPS 2.4.4 contains everything needed for NewBB 3.0.8
Restore the directory from the XOOPS 2.4.4 archive.
