XF 1.2 Weird Cron Server Error

The Grand Potentate · Oct 27, 2013

Wondering if you guys could help me out with this one. I keep getting this Cron error, but its coming completely randomly. One day, it was 15+ errors. The next day, nothing. Today, there are 2:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Class 'XenForo_Cron' not found - cron.php:12
Generated By: Unknown Account, Today at 12:26 PM
Stack Trace
#0 [internal function]: XenForo_Application::handleFatalError()

["_GET"] => array(1) {
[1375076959] => string(0) ""
}
["_POST"] => array(0) {
}
}

And:

ErrorException: Fatal Error: Class 'XenForo_Cron' not found - cron.php:12
Generated By: Unknown Account, Today at 12:51 PM
Stack Trace

["_GET"] => array(1) {

}
["_POST"] => array(0) {
}
}

How do I figure out what's causing the problem here?

You have an out dated template and or an add-on that needs upgraded. XenForo_Cron was removed in 1.2.

Yeah I know. But how do I figure out which one it is?

cron.php was called in PAGE_CONTAINER

The Grand Potentate · Oct 28, 2013

Ran through a few add-ons and couldn't seem to find out what was causing it. Any suggestions other than turning everything off and then back on again one by one? 20 errors tonight since 11:45.

Have you checked to make sure your Page Container isn't out of date?

Templates aren't exactly my forte, but so far as I can tell everything's ok. The template itself doesn't ask me to merge any changes and the template modification page doesn't show anything in the red.

I've got 2 mods for page_container but both show up as green/0/0.

What is the content of the template ?

Can you do a template search for Cron? Your PAGE_CONTAINER is correct.

Jeremy · Oct 29, 2013

This line in the Taiga chat add-on is most likely your cause:

HTML:

<xen:if is="{$cronLink}"><img src="{$cronLink}" width="1" height="1" alt="" /></xen:if>

If there is an update from @Luke Foreman, you should update your Taiga chat. If not, removing that should solve your issues.

The other two matches are irrelevant and contain "cron" within words in the template.

The Grand Potentate · Oct 29, 2013

I figured that was the problem when it came up in the search. Its currently up to date, so I'll give Luke the heads up. Thanks for the help Jeremy.
