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]) )

Awards for the best Joomla app. This product is gonna win an award for this amazing job. Cook Self Service is the the best application from all over the Joomla universe ! It brings Joomla to a professional level really advanced for developers. It is a real fun to develop with it. The ACL part and security checks implementation are just... so much hours saved. I can now concentrate myself more on the design part and the creative works. Thank you so much. Guys I offer you all my congratulation ! Keep up the works because Joomla is needing it to increase the quality of extensions availables on the JED. I also learned a lot because I can see how to code at the proper place and I found all my answers reading the forum.
