Error when used in conjunction with Association Fields

[jdsimcoe]

First off, reference this thread where @nilshoerrmann and I hashed this out a bit:

mazedigital/association_output#7

Second, I am currently getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getIterator() on a non-object in /Users/jdsimcoe/Sites/atheycreek/extensions/association_output/extension.driver.php on line 421

The problem is that this extension retrieves and sets XML on the DataSourcePreExecute delegate. This results in the problem that other extensions cannot manipulate the cached data.

[jdsimcoe]

@brendo Do you know if this has been resolved?

[jonmifsud]

@nilshoerrmann if I understand it would work if this returned an object rather than an XML string correct?

Also this brings me to an interesting point, this means that any data generated with association output wouldn't be cached (in this instance) correct?
