Call to a member function simplelog() on null

Hi there, My clients website stopped working today with a sweet "Oops ..." error. I analyzed what's happening and found out that: 1. The Facebook adapter returned "request failed: (#4) Application request limit reached" ... probably just a temporary issue with the API. 2. The adapter called logWarning which then calls $GLOBALS["BE_USER"]->simplelog 3. Now, if the user is not a BE user, this throws an exception "Call to a member function simplelog() on null"

Not sure if that's too easy, but don't we just need to check if $GLOBALS["BE_USER"] is available before calling simplelog()?

So change: $GLOBALS["BE_USER"]->simplelog('...');

To: if(isset($GLOBALS["BE_USER"])) $GLOBALS["BE_USER"]->simplelog('...');

That fixed my problems and should avoid future troubles (when Facebook is having issues).

Am i missing something here?

Thanks guys

Frank
