I get fatal error while setting up custom payment method block for checkout page

`Fatal error: Call to a member function setMethod() on a non-object in 
app/code/core/Mage/Payment/Helper/Data.php on line 106` 

Here's my Implementation

Payment Method File paths

app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Block/Form
app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/controllers
app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Model/Standard.php

Block Class

<?php
     // app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Block/Form/SecureFrame.php
class SecurePay_SecureFrame_Block_Form_SecureFrame extends Mage_Payment_Block_Form
{
 protected function _construct()
  {
    parent::_construct();
    $this->setTemplate('secureframe/form/secureframe.phtml');
  }
}

Payment Model

<?php
class SecurePay_SecureFrame_Model_Standard extends Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Abstract {
    protected $_code = 'secureframe'; 
    protected $_formBlockType = 'secureframe/form_secureframe'; //This line thows the error
// other stuff ....
}

Also If I comment the line protected $_code = 'secureframe'; Error disappears but obviously custom payment block does not get set

Edit:
Config.xml File

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <SecurePay_SecureFrame>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </SecurePay_SecureFrame>

          <frontName>SECUREPAY</frontName>
        </args>
      </secureframe>
    </routers>
  </frontend>
</config>

Template file path for phtml file in template directory

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/securepay/secureframe/form/secureframe.phtml

What I am doing wrong ?? How to resolve this error and display custom form on checkout page

P.S. Also tried placing the form phtml file outside the securepay directory like

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/secureframe/form/secureframe.phtml

However error does not get resolved

Edit Here is the code from Helper file which is giving error

 public function getMethodFormBlock(Mage_Payment_Model_Method_Abstract $method)
{
    $block = false;
    $blockType = $method->getFormBlockType();
    if ($this->getLayout()) {
        $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock($blockType); // This might be causing error, not sure (from helper file reported in error)

        $block->setMethod($method);
    }
    return $block;
}

When you use a second upper letter in your files and class, things change a litte:

The Block Type Schema: ModuleName/ClassPath:

ModuleName: lowercase when a single name and use exactly the same string when has more than one uppercase letter on name.

ClassPath: lowercase when there is a single name or use first letter on lowercase and in all other first letters use uppercase.

So if your block class is: SecurePay_SecureFrame_Block_Form_SecureFrame Change your block type to:

protected $_formBlockType = 'SecureFrame/form_secureFrame';

  • It's interesting to see two approaches from different angles. @Abdul's answer above also recognised that the class name didn't match the $_formBlockType, but whereas you suggest changing $_formBlockType he suggests changing the Block class itself. Though I think he forgot that as well as changing the block class name you have to also change the filename to match. Nov 20, 2015 at 16:34
  • Yes. Abdul's approaches just will work if you change the name of module too, from SecureFrame to Secureframe, like this: SecurePay_Secureframe_Block_Form_Secureframe. He forgot the ModuleName. Nov 20, 2015 at 16:39
  • My approach is based in your initial situation. Class: SecurePay_SecureFrame_Block_Form_SecureFrame. Filepath: app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Block/Form/SecureFrame.php Nov 20, 2015 at 16:43
  • Let me know after you try my approach. Nov 20, 2015 at 16:44
  • +1 for details about Block Type Schema: ModuleName/ClassPath: However evn changing the $_formBlockType giving the same fatal error I hav updated the question with snippet from core file, that might be useful

Please change code from

<?php
     // app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Block/Form/SecureFrame.php
class SecurePay_SecureFrame_Block_Form_SecureFrame extends Mage_Payment_Block_Form
{
 protected function _construct()
  {
    parent::_construct();
    $this->setTemplate('secureframe/form/secureframe.phtml');
  }
}

TO

<?php
     // app/code/local/SecurePay/SecureFrame/Block/Form/SecureFrame.php
class SecurePay_SecureFrame_Block_Form_Secureframe extends Mage_Payment_Block_Form
{
    protected function _construct()
    {
        parent::_construct();
        $this->setTemplate('secureframe/form/secureframe.phtml');
    }
}
