    $this->load->model("content_model");

    if (!$this->user->loggedin) {
        $projects = $this->content_model->get_projects();
    } else {
        $projects = $this->content_model
            ->get_user_projects($this->user->info->ID);
    }
    $icons = $this->content_model->get_icons();
    $this->template->loadContent("home/index.php", array(
        "icons" => $icons, 
        "projects" => $projects
        )
    );
}

and the error occuring line 68 is this,

$image = "";
    if ($_FILES['userfile']['size'] > 0 
            && $this->settings->info->project_upload_icon) {
        $this->upload->initialize(array( 
           "upload_path" => $this->settings->info->upload_path,
           "overwrite" => FALSE,
           "max_filename" => 500,
           "encrypt_name" => TRUE,
           "remove_spaces" => TRUE,
           "allowed_types" => "gif|jpg|png|jpeg",
           "max_size" => 3000,
           "xss_clean" => TRUE,
           "max_width" => 92,
           "max_height" => 92
        ));

Did you put in auto-loads the upload library ? EDIT : don't forget to load it with : $this->load->library('upload'); — Bobot

You need to load the "upload" libarary either in autoload.php page or in the corresponding controller page so that it can recognize the upload object. In autoload.php you just need to add the name of the library in the library array.
