Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array after upgrading to Joomla 3.5.1

Question

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in dministrator/components/com_menus/models/item.php on line 548

Lines #546-#550:

// Get selected fields
$filters = JFactory::getApplication()->getUserState('com_menus.items.filter');
$data['published'] = (isset($filters['published']) ? $filters['published'] : null);
$data['language'] = (isset($filters['language']) ? $filters['language'] : null);
$data['access'] = (isset($filters['access']) ? $filters['access'] : null);

Error occurred while creating a new menu item in Menu Manager.

The Menu Manager works fine until upgrading from Joomla 3.4.1 to 3.5.1.

This is not an error in Joomla's core, so please make sure you have updated all your extensions as it will be one of those that's causing the error. Either that or revert any core hacks you may have done — Lodder

Ensure your extensions are running the latest versions.

You can also search for uses of

JFilterInput::clean(SOMETEXT);

and replace it with:

$filter = new JFilterInput;
$filter->clean(SOMETEXT);

Check this : https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Fatal_Error_in_Input_Filtering/en

As $filters is an object with properties, not an array with elements; so you need to use object syntax to access those properties:

$data['published'] = (isset($filters->published) ? $filters->published : null);
$data['language'] = (isset($filters->language) ? $filters->language : null);
$data['access'] = (isset($filters->access) ? $filters->access : null);

Thanks a lot for the pointers, Mark and Rishi.

I solved the problem by downloading the full Joomla 3.5.1 package and replace the entire administrator/components/com_menus directory, and it works now!

I suspect there are some files missing during the 3.4.1->3.5.1 update process (using the Joomla Update Manager). I would recommend doing manual upgrade to avoid unexpected or unwanted situations.
