Strict Standards: Non-static method JSite::getMenu() should not be called statically

Question

I'm a newbee in joomla. When I change my template to other like http://www.joomla24.com/Joomla_3x_Templates/Joomla_3x_Templates/Oliverio_Lite.html I'm getting the following error ``` Strict Standards: Non-static method JSite::getMenu() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in ..\xampp\htdocs\joomla	emplates\oliveriolite\index.php on line 91 Strict Standards: Non-static method JApplication::getMenu() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in ..\xampp\htdocs\joomla\includes\application.php on line 569 ```

Accepted Answer

It's quite simple. Your template calls a function named `getMenu()` statically. Meaning the call looks like this: `$app::getMenu()`. But it should look like this: `$app->getMenu()`. The variable name (`$app`) doesn't matter, the colon vs arrow matters.

The correct way to get the menu is:

```
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
```

or even shorter:

```
$menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
```
