Hi,

Since I've upgraded to Joomla 1.0.8, here is JAL problem :

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: mosaccesslevels_jal in /home/httpd/vhosts/mysite/httpsdocs/administrator/components/com_jal_siteaccess/admin.jal_siteaccess.php on line 861

This appening when i'm updating "Access Definition Manager" in Admin

I've tried to find where mosaccesslevels_jal is in other files, without success.

Anyone has got the same problem ? Thanks

Regards

Has anyone found how to overcome this? I got MAL for mambo 4.5.3h (before seeing these threads!) and after 3 installations still haven't got it working. I keep getting an error similar to wantoo, i.e.

Fatal error: Class 'mosAccessLevels_MAL' not found in /home/**/public_html/administrator/components/com_mal_siteaccess/admin.mal_siteaccess.php on line 862

Can anyone help?
