Magento – Magento 1.7 error invalid block type

magento-1.7

I have a strange problem in Magento 1.7.0.2. When I try to open the items in the catalog I get the following error in my logging. I have been tinkering around with the catalog.xml but even after reverting the changes with a backup it still won't work correctly.

It seems to be that the exception has to do with the Relatedslider from the theme. However this has worked correctly before. I have no clue where to look at the moment. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Edit>>
After disabling the compiler, as suggested below it still does not work. But I have enabled error displaying in the browser. From this the following error is now present:

I still am not sure how to fix this, as I cannot find anything relevant on the subject.

If you take a look at your error call stack

#0 /home/public_html/domain.nl/includes/src/__default.php(27333):     Mage::throwException('Ongeldig blokty...')
#1 /home/public_html/domain.nl/includes/src/__default.php(27275):      Mage_Core_Model_Layout->_getBlockInstance('relatedslider/p...', Array)
#2 /home/public_html/domain.nl/includes/src/__default.php(27310):      Mage_Core_Model_Layout->createBlock('relatedslider/p...', 'magentothem_rel...')
#3 /home/public_html/domain.nl/includes/src/__default.php(27077):

most of the files involved come from the includes/src/__default.php file. Magento only uses this file when it's running in "compiler" mode. Compiler mode is when Magento looks at all the module class files in app/code/*/*, and then makes a copy of those files in includes/src — it also combines many base classes in a single file, __default.php. This is done to increase performance in production systems.

So, step one would be to disable compiler mode, see if the error has gone away, and then re-compile your classes to catch whatever class was missed in the initial compilation. You can do this at

System -> Tools -> Compilation

Or via the shell script

$ php shell/compiler.php

If the problem does not go away when compilation mode is disabled, it looks like Magento is trying to instante a block (perhaps embedded in a CMS page) that doesn't exist.

Mage_Core_Model_Layout->createBlock('relatedslider/p...', 'magentothem_rel...')

Unfortunately, this block's full class alias (relatedslider/p...) is omitted. Figuring out the full block alias, and why Magento can't instantiate it (missing class, mistyped alias, etc.) will lead you to a solution for your problem.

Magento – getting Error in magento

Check for anything in all files, before the starting <?php and if the file ends with an ?>. Remove the trailing ?>. No one needs this.

This error is often raised, because you added a space before the stating <?php

And I think in later PHP versions, they improved the error by adding the information where the output started. Think about updating php to know this.

Magento 1.7 – Fix Currency ‘USD’ Not Found Error

Ok so I am not sure if this is the bug but if you compare the Magento 1.8 and Magento 1.7 versions of the function currency in Mage_Core_Model_Local you will notice a reference to a bug with Zend_Currency

Magento 1.7: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($this->getCurrency(), $this->getLocale());
            $options = array(
                    'name'      => $currency,
                    'currency'  => $currency,
                    'symbol'    => $currency
            );
            $currencyObject->setFormat($options);
        }

        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

Magento 1.8: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        $options = array();
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            /**
             * catch specific exceptions like "Currency 'USD' not found"
             * - back end falls with specific locals as Malaysia and etc.

             * zend team is not going to change it behaviour in the near time
             */
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency);
            $options['name'] = $currency;
            $options['currency'] = $currency;
            $options['symbol'] = $currency;
        }

        $options = new Varien_Object($options);
        Mage::dispatchEvent('currency_display_options_forming', array(
            'currency_options' => $options,
            'base_code' => $currency
        ));

        $currencyObject->setFormat($options->toArray());
        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

My suggestion would be to try updating the try catch to match that of Magento 1.8 (I know this is not the best solution and obviously I would not suggest editing the core files but adding a rewrite)
