catchable fatal error - category template line 24

[johnmyr]

Found a possible bug when betatesting Hybrid 0.6 theme with 2.8 bleeding.

When using the get_the_term_list() function to show a post's categories with the default (non-pretty) permalink settings, I receive this error:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in ..\wp-includes\category-template.php on line 24

Code example::

get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'category', 'Posted in', ', ', '' );

works fine in kubrick. please re-open with a step by step procedure to reproduce.

Fails miserably in Kubrick for me too.

Step by step:

1) Set your permalinks to the default: http://localhost/?p=123.

2) Add this code within The Loop in index.php:

<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'category', 'Posted in ', ', ', '' ); ?>

This error is produced:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in C:\xampp\htdocs\wp-includes\category-template.php on line 24

(In [11257]) Pass IDs, not objects, to get_category_link(). fixes #9784
