Call to a member function qn() on a non-object

Hi Jonnathan. When are you seeing this error?

Same here and always failing. Due to the chaining, $query won't be initialized until all methods have "returned".
The call of ->leftJoin($query->qn('#__usergroups') ... fails, because at this point $query is still null.

This actually works fine for me under PHP 5.3. I suspect it's something to do with PHP 5.2. However, a better solution would be to change $query->qn('#__usergroups') to $db->qn('#__usergroups') since we already have the database object (JDatabaseQuery::qn is just a proxy back to it anyway). The auto-formatter also made mince-meat of this block so if each chain could be put on a new line that would be great too.

One last thing. Could you update the changelog with a short message (see https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform/wiki/Contributing-to-the-joomla-platform for more information). It's helps us all keep things up to date if we get in the habit of doing it with the pull request :)

Thanks in advance.

I'm getting this error under php 5.3.1, anyway... I updated the changelog and did some code formating.
PS: I hate this 'Comment & Close' button.

Ha! Yes, too close together. Thanks for that - looks great. Can you just merge down from joomla-master so I can auto-merge. Thanks.
