magento mobileshoppe theme - Fatal error: Call to a member function getSize() on a non-object in

Question

I am using mobileshoppe magento theme for our store, when i installed magento it was showing latest products on home page using the code below.

 {{block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}

Then we customized the theme and it stopped to display latest products on home page even the code above is as it is in admin.

It shows the error - Fatal error: Call to a member function getSize() on a non-object in D:\wamp\www\magento\app\design\frontend\default\mobileshoppe\template\catalog\product\list\toolbar_top.phtml on line 34

Hello Guys I had the same issue on my Mobileshoppe Template. I tried to add products of a category and it didn't work for me.

In the end the solution was to use as mentioned on the official Mobileshoppe page "readme" file: http://magresponsive.devdemoz.com/readme.html

I used the code where it says: 2) Create cms page (home page) step bellow.

Hope it helps somebody.
