Error editing Homepage Widgets in 5.5GA

[mkesler]

I recently updated to 5.5GA and virtually everything went flawlessly (bravo sugar team!) BUT there is one issue, while not critical, definitely is bugging our sales team.

Whenever you attempt to edit the settings on any of the homepage widgets it produces this error in the PHP Logs:

[16-Dec-2009 10:13:32] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method SugarWidgetFieldVarchar::SugarWidgetFieldVarchar() in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\include\generic\SugarWidgets\SugarWidgetFieldname.php on line 48

I've reset the account's homepage and preferences to default.

The offending line is this:

 parent::SugarWidgetFieldVarchar($layout_manager); 
  

We are running on IIS7 and PHP 5.3.1. I upgraded from SugarCRM 5.2.0J.

Hi, we are also having the same problem, take a look at this post

Could it be due to PHP version 5.3?

In two of our servers we are having the same problem and we are running PHP 5.3.1

I had to downgrade to php 5.2.11 and now the Edit Sugar Dashlet is working again. I believe it was due to the ereg function being deprecated in php 5.3 as it was giving me error messages also.
