Thank you received: 21

There are going to be a few PHP 8 incompatibilties - so this is probably the place to note them down.
Please add to this list if you find any ... JCook is not being developed anymore - so we need to help each other to keep our older websites running.

If you upgrade to PHP 8 and your whole website goes down... its is probably line 384 in libraries/jdom.php (which is loaded for eevry page).

If you swicth on the Joomla Degug mode, you will see this error...
"count(): Argument #1 ($value) must be of type Countable|array, null given"
This is because a emplty variable, a non-array, is being used with the count function.

In libraries/jdom edit file jdom.php line 384

Change

else if (($i !== null) && (count($args) > $i))

else if ($i !== null)

Just call me Chris

This is another bug in the item controller. In /public_html/administrator/components/com_yourcomponent/classes/controller/item.php Line 240 Change: if (!count($cid)) To if (empty($cid)) Just call me Chris The following user(s) said Thank You: jonathanbell

Did you change anything, or never mind ? if ($args[$i] !== null) Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in /home2/user_xxx/public_html/my_site/libraries/jdom/dom.php on line 385 change to if (!empty($args[$i]) )

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
