[TYPO3-english] Upgrade from Typo3 4.3 to 4.3 problem

[Karl Wallace]

Thanks for the tip Dmitry

I'm reasonably comfortable with PHP so I added that function call (to the 
class.t3lib_page.php file), then tried to make sense of all the output 
generated. The debugging is the difficult part for me as I'm not that 
familiar with it and I wasn't sure what to look for.

A question. Should the last few lines of the backtrace generally indicate 
the problem area, or could the problem be anywhere within the output?

Anyway, I changed the "die" command in class.t3lib_page.php to echo so I 
could see if the output for the custom extension was being generated, and it 
was. I narrowed the problem down to a couple of tt_news plugins that 
exisited in a content area that I had configured for use with 
kb_tv_content_slide.

When i removed the content slide code from the DS XML the error 
dissappeared.
I no longer need the tt_news plugins in this area so this is a workaround 
for me, at least temporarily. I could not replicate this problem on any 
other installation however, so I'm not sure if it's a bug.

So here are the typo3 and extension versions involved in case anyone else 
runs into this issue.

Typo3 4.3.3 (source recently upgraded from 4.2.12)
Templavoila 1.4.2 (problem also occurs with 1.4.4)
KB TV Content Slide 0.4.3
tt_news 3.0.1 (problem also occurs with 2.5.2)

If there are any other developents I'll post back here

Thanks again.
