Problem with v 1.5.0 of Latest News Plus Date on inherited site

No all that is in that file is the following;

$list = modLatestNewsHelperPlusDate::getList($params);
require(JModuleHelper::getLayoutPath('mod_latestnewsplusdate'));

Mmm okay it's clear now that that variable is non exist so you need to add it's definition somewhere in default.php with the following line,

just place it let's say in line 28 just right above this,

and see if that helps.

That seemed to fix the first error, now I only have the second error showing, ie
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /clientdata/apache-www/t/o/tontinefibres.com.au/www/modules/mod_latestnewsplusdate/tmpl/default.php on line 160

So thanks for your help on the foirst error, any ideas on how to fix the second error?

More information in case this helps, I notice on the news page the date is not showing on every news irem, and the large date icon is showing as DATE_FORMAT_L5
Does this provide anyone with a clue?

Regarding the notice on line 160, try to edit that and change this part

to

but note that this definition must be there too. If it's not exist then you must add it


So sorry but I can't help you further with another error/notice. That's far I can help as we're no longer support it...(unless you want to hire us to fix that for your client - that's a different story).
