Fatal error in joomla component

Question

i just installed a new component in my site but when i click on component settings button in the backend i am getting this message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function loadByOption() on a non-object in /mysite.com/administrator/components/com_sigpro/models/settings.php on line 32

the file contains this code:

defined('_JEXEC') or die ;



class SigProModelSettings extends SigProModel

{



    protected $extensionID = null;



    public function getForm()

    {

        $option = $this->getState('option');

        if (version_compare(JVERSION, '2.5.0', 'ge'))

        {

            $component = JComponentHelper::getComponent($option);

            $this->extensionID = $component->id;

            JForm::addFormPath(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/'.$option);

            $form = JForm::getInstance($option.'.settings', 'config',     array('control' => 'jform'), false, '/config');

            $form->bind($component->params);

        }

        else

        {

            $component = JTable::getInstance('component');

            $component->loadByOption($option);

            $this->extensionID = $component->id;

            $form = new JParameter($component->params, JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.$option.DS.'config.xml');
        }

        return $form;

    }

PS my site is running Joomla 1.7.5 stable version and i cant upgrade it to 2.5 because the site is online and productive some components dont works on version 2.5 . So i will appreciate it if someone can help me fix this error.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

you 1.6 needs 1.6 specific modules, components & plugins. You'll need to find a 1.6 compatible version or alternative or check the permissions on /configuration.php

Answer 2

Looks like the table class is not present in your file system. It should have been there in the /mysite.com/administrator/components/com_sigpro/tables folder , somewhere ( may vary depending on the code, but looks like they have not included a custom path ). The class should extends JTable class.
