 * I just installed AAM, but when I try to click on any of the tabs below “Backend
   Menu” I see the following error:
 * Fatal error: Can’t use method return value in write context in /home/(address
   etc.)/plugins/advanced-access-manager/Application/Backend/view/metabox.phtml 
   on line 8
 * Any idea what’s up?
