not getting listings after adding steps from 'extending display' and getting null on listing in list_item.php

I was following along to the ending of 'extending the display' and I added

<?php
        foreach ($directory->getStatuses() as $status) {
            echo '<option value="' . $status . '"';
            if ($status == $listing->getStatus()) echo ' selected';
            echo '>' . ucwords($status) . '</option>';
        }
        ?>

to form_listing.php and 

switch($listing->getStatus()) {
    case 'premium':
        echo 'panel-info';
        break;
    default:
        echo 'panel-default';
}

to list_item.php once complete I had the tabs but the data disappeared.. in my error console it says in list_item.php

 'Uncaught Error: call to member function getStatus() on null'

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this I am not sure where I went wrong? my snapshot is snapshot

any advice would be greatly thanked!
