When I open media manager menu in new joomla 1.5.13 its shown error

“Fatal error: Call to a member function authorize() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_media/views/media/tmpl/default.php on line 64”

Its never happen to my old joomla 1.5.6 site. I found it on the net it was bug carried on this version.

This how to fix it

1. open this file /public_html/administrator/components/com_media/views/media/view.html.php
2. edit this line

$this->assign('require_ftp', $ftp);
$this->assign('folders_id', ' id="media-tree"');
$this->assign('folders', $this->get('folderTree'));


// Set the toolbar
$this->_setToolBar();

Change it into this one

$this->assign('require_ftp', $ftp);
$this->assign('folders_id', ' id="media-tree"');
$this->assign('folders', $this->get('folderTree'));

$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$this->assignRef('user', $user);

// Set the toolbar
$this->_setToolBar();

3. save your edited file

or you can replace the file with this one here
