Error when trying to access to an unauthorized page was created by biowep

Hi, if I try to access to an unauthorized page, the page remains blank.
In developer mode I obtain these errors

Code:

Strict Standards: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /.../httpdocs/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/defineconstants.php on line 32

And there are more "Strict Standards" errors in the backend (developer mode)

Just a detail: In the backend, in the category view, the last td must be colspan="11" instead of 10

Usually i don't have PHP E_STRICT warnings enabled, on the development server, because of using J1.5 sites too

About these PHP E_Strict warnings , i cannot reproduce them,
e.g. it seems that lines like this are causing the E_STRICT warnings
$db = &JFactory::getDBO();

You could change them to
$db = JFactory::getDBO();

but i recommend disabling PHP strict warnings on your development server, for how to do this please google or search this forum

Regards

You can reproduce the warnings by going to the Global Configuration > Server and setting the "Error Reporting" to Development.
And you can reproduce the blank page by creating a menu item for the submission item form and accessing the page using the guest user.

How can I solve the blank page?
I think it's more appropriate to show an error message.

This will turn on error reporting but not enable E_STRICT warnings you will need to change this in PHP.ini

I think it's more appropriate to show an error message.

The blank page in this case is the result of a fatal PHP error and not the result of code terminating deliberately, so how can we display an error message?

And joomla error reporting will not always work if there is a PHP parse error,
because if parsing of a file is not finished then NO PHP commands are executed, thus error reporting enabling command will not be executed

-- We need to enable error reporting inside a file whose parsing finishes without error e.g. defineconstants.php

Please do these
1. disable E_STRICT warning
2. ADD at the top
/administrator/components/com_flexicontent/defineconstants.php

just after
// no direct access
defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT);
	ini_set('display_errors',1);

Same result, I also tried to enable the error reporting in the index page ("httpdocs/index.php"), the page remains blank.

Since page remains blank i wonder if there is some command terminating execution, e.g. for a system plugin you have installed

Also because page is blank we cannot do much.

1. Please do a view page source on the page , since some times you might get an error inside a js script tag that is not visible in view normal mode.

2. Please provide a detail scenario that leads in the blank page, e.g. i am logged as user of this type, and i am in frontend category view and i click on an item that is this , etc , etc
