Looks like it would be solved by using ! instead of empty? I.e.

if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('content', 'vote'))
        {
            $orderCol  = !($this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id')) ? 'a.id' : $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id');
            $orderDirn = '';
        }

#11225 has been tested on 3.6.x branch not on 3.7 branch I'll look at it
with the 3.7...

Seriously?

$orderCol = !($this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id')) ? 'a.id' : $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id');

for

$orderCol = $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id');


What we have now and causes the Fatal error is:

        if (JPluginHelper::isEnabled('content', 'vote'))
        {
            $orderCol  = empty($this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id')) ? 'a.id' : $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id');
            $orderDirn = '';
        }

Indeed, should never have been accepted!

How many people test with PHP 5.3 and 5.4 ?
empty() in these versions, works on variable only

My test was on php 5.4.4

All you need is the line @sovainfo pointed out, $orderCol = $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id');. If you have to check if the state's value is empty after you've pulled from the object then you've royally screwed something up along the way. If it can't be empty don't allow an empty value to be saved to the state!

@infograf768

My test was on php 5.4.4

yes i understood that because you got the error,
but i meant not your test , i meant the 2 human "acceptance" tests on every PR

@infograf768 i'm unable to reproduce on PHP Version 5.5.30

just want to remember that still minimum Requirements for Joomla! 3.x is 5.3.10

and yes should be $orderCol = $this->state->get('list.fullordering', 'a.id'); my mistake
i'll fix it

People are known to make mistakes, procedures are in place to avoid mistakes getting into the product. That doesn't mean every mistake is caught! Luckily, this one was.

Of the almost 500 $this->state->get statements in the product a few also use escape() around it. Don't know whether it needs it.

Closing as there is a PR. Thanks!
