Fix ‘Call to a Member Function productAttribute() on a Non-Object’ Error

fatal error

I have set a new custom attribute called actiekorting with a value of 25% on a product. It shows perfectly in detailed product page. But when I'm trying to copy the same line on a different page (overview page of products) I get the following fatal error: Call to a member function productAttribute() on a non-object in etc..

This is happening because the class this method belongs to hasn't been instantiated.

Make sure the object you're trying to call productAttribute() on is an instance of Mage_Catalog_Helper_Output

Example

$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output');

echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getActiekorting(), 'actiekorting');

Magento – Currency.php: Fatal error: Call to a member function getCode() on a non-object

I think the currency is missing in the directory_currency_rate table.

Check the table for your currency. If it is missing, you have two options to solve it.

Enable the cronjob to retrieve the currency from the webservice in configuration.
Go to "System > Manage Currency > Rates and click the import button

You should clear the cache and delete all your cookies (to get rid of your session and shopping cart) afterwards and test again.
