Getting error "Call to a member function setTitle()" after install extension

Question

I have installed an extension on the website. After that I am getting error on the website:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function setTitle() on boolean in /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Block/Form/Register.php:43 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Abstract.php(297): Mage_Customer_Block_Form_Register->_prepareLayout() #1 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php(456): Mage_Core_Block_Abstract->setLayout(Object(Mage_Core_Model_Layout)) #2 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php(472): Mage_Core_Model_Layout->createBlock('customer/form_r...', 'customer_form_r...') #3 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php(239): Mage_Core_Model_Layout->addBlock('customer/form_r...', 'customer_form_r...') #4 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php(205): Mage_Core_Model_Layout->_generateBlock(Object(Mage_Core_Model_Layout_Element), Object(Mage_Core_Model_Layout_Element)) #5 /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Layout.php(206): Mage_Core_Model_Layout->generateBlocks(Object(Mage_Core_Mo in /var/www/example/app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Block/Form/Register.php on line 43

How to fix the issue?

Answer 1

Can you try to set Title in your controller action like below.

public function IndexAction() {
  $this->loadLayout(); // do this first
  $this->getLayout()->getBlock('head')->setTitle($this->__('My Title')); // You need to add this line.
  $this->renderLayout(); // render as usual
}
