Call to a member function getClassHandle() on null

[edolyne]

Current Install:

CraftCMS version: 2.6.2968
LinkIt version: 2.3.4

With this installed, and attempting to create or edit entries that use a LinkIt field type I am getting a internal server error of: Call to a member function getClassHandle() on null

The runtime logs show:

#17 /storage/av04327/www/craft/plugins/fruitlinkit/fieldtypes/FruitLinkItFieldType.php(136): Craft\TemplatesService->render('fruitlinkit/_fi...', Array)
#18 /storage/av04327/www/craft/app/vendor/twig/twig/lib/Twig/Template.php(615): Craft\FruitLinkItFieldType->getInputHtml('buttonLink', '')

It looks like this issue is only arising when a LinkIt field is within a matrix, when the field is outside of a matrix field everything functions appropriately.

Also receiving the same error.

I had just enabled a custom element type to be selectable.

Running Craft 2.6.3002 and Linkit 2.3.4

I ran into this issue as well. In my case, it was caused because I had failed to select any Link Types for the field. It was also inside a matrix, but I did not test it outside of a matrix.
