No Dashboard: Fatal error: Call to undefined method View::addFooterItem()

Permalink
I have searched all over the forums and cannot find the solution to this issue.

I can go to the site athttp://vaymca.org/index.php/dashboard/... and log in, but after logging in I just get this message and nothing else:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method View::addFooterItem() in /home2/vaymca/public_html/concrete/themes/dashboard/elements/header.php on line 39

Line 39 is: 
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('jquery.backstretch.js'));


and is contained within:

// Required JavaScript
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('jquery.backstretch.js'));
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('jquery.ui.js'));
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('jquery.form.js'));
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('jquery.rating.js'));
$v->addFooterItem('<script type="text/javascript" src="' . REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED . '/i18n_js"></script>'); 
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('bootstrap.js'));
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('ccm.app.js'));
$v->addFooterItem($html->javascript('ccm.dashboard.js'));
$v->addFooterItem(Loader::helper('html')->javascript('tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js'));


There have been NO updates, NO changes. Just logged in one day and the dashboard was inaccessible. Once I'm logged in, I can update specific pages by going to that page's URL (i.e.http://vaymca.org/index.php/) but cannot access the dashboard for anything.

My error log, if it means anything, contains that same Line 39 error for the past few days, but also contains this in between this recurring error:

Adding a core footer became a requirement of themes for (I think) c5.5.

The error you are using is typical of a site that is post c5.5 using a theme that is pre c5.5, or of an addon designed for c5.5+ being used with a site that is pre c5.5, or vice-versa.

Thanks JohntheFish for getting back to me so quickly.

Should I upgrade? That seems like a really bad idea, since upgrading usually causes more problems and makes troubleshooting more difficult.

Just a thought. I see you are using an older version of concrete5, maybe updating will fix your issue?

PLEASE HELP! I have the same error as Meaganroper. I did nothing, changed nothing, updated nothing, and I can no longer access the dashboard. I must be able to access it. I do not want to update, as it will break my site. I have tried. I am currently redesigning my site with everything to the latest revisions. However before it is updated I need to be able to access the dashboard.

If there is an answer besides updating (which I cannot do) please advise me. I am stuck!

Thank you!!
