Fatal error: Call to a member function beginTransaction() on a non-object

my code is:

public function postAction()
    {

        $session            = Mage::getSingleton('core/session');
        $data               = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getPost();
        $this->_data        = $data;

        $validate = $this->validate();

        if($validate === true){

                try {

                    $first_name = $this->getRequest()->getPost('full-name');
                    $email = $this->getRequest()->getPost('email');
                    $telephone = $this->getRequest()->getPost('telephone');
                    $comment = $this->getRequest()->getPost('comment');

                    Mage::log($first_name);

                    $contact = Mage::getModel('contactpro/contactpro');
                    $contact->setData('name', $first_name);
                    $contact->setData('email', $email);
                    $contact->setData('telephone', $telephone);
                    $contact->setData('comment', $comment);
                    $contact->save();

                    //$this->sendEmail();

                    $session->addSuccess($this->__('Contact has been accepted for moderation.'));

                    $pageThanks = Mage::getStoreConfig('contactpro/settings/page_thanks',$this->_getStore());
                    $this->_redirect($pageThanks);

                } catch (Exception $e){
                    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError($e->getMessage());
                    Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->settestData($this->getRequest()->getPost());
                }


        }else{
            if (is_array($validate)) {
                foreach ($validate as $errorMessage) {
                    $session->addError($errorMessage);
                }
            } else {
                $session->addError($this->__('Unable to post the contact.'));
            }
            $this->_redirect('contactpro');
        }
    }

Can any one tell me where I went wrong? or suggest me.

thanks.

The beginTransaction method is called when saving an object. See Mage_Core_Model_Abstract::save():

...
$this->_getResource()->beginTransaction();
...

The error means _getResource returns something else than an object (probably null or false).
Make sure this class exists [Namespace]_Contactpro_Model_Resource_Contactpro.
It should look something like this

class [Namespace]_Contactpro_Model_Resource_Contactpro extends Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Db_Abstract {
    public function _construct() {
        $this->_init('contactpro/contactpro', 'entity_id'); //entity_id is the primary key in the contactpro table. If your key is different change it here
    }
}

take a look at the original getPrice method.
It looks like this:

public function getPrice()
{
    return $this->getProduct()->getPrice();
}

Digging deeper you end up in Mage_Catalog_Block_Product::getProduct() that looks like this:

public function getProduct()
{
    if (!$this->getData('product') instanceof Mage_Catalog_Model_Product) {
        if ($this->getData('product')->getProductId()) {
            $productId = $this->getData('product')->getProductId();
        }
        if ($productId) {
            $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
            if ($product) {
                $this->setProduct($product);
            }
        }
    }
    return $this->getData('product');
}

In your case $this->getData('product') return null, and since null is not an instance of Mage_Catalog_Model_Product you enter the first if statement and it crashes on this line: if ($this->getData('product')->getProductId()) { because you cannot call null->getProductId().

Any instance of Mage_Catalog_Block_Product makes sense if you attach a product to it. Considering your layout file, I can conclude that you are trying to use your block without any product.

Here is how your Mca_IndexController::indexAction() should look:

$this->loadLayout();
$block = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('mca_mca');
if ($block){
    $productId = 15;//for example
    $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())->load($productId);
    $block->setProduct($product);
}
$this->renderLayout();

Magento – Fatal error: Call to a member function setActive() on a non-object in

This was an issue with cached functions from an extension that had been removed. Manually clearing the cache fixed the issue.

Manually clear the cache using one of the following methods:

Use standard method Mage::app()->cleanCache() or Mage::app()->getCacheInstance()->flush();
Use n98-magerun to clear the cache from the shell. (https://github.com/netz98/n98-magerun)
Manually delete the var/cache directory (if file cache)
Clear relevant db/redis/memcache cache

Additionally sometimes apc or opcode cache can cause issues, and restarting php may be required in those cases.
