Changing to php 5.6. gives a bug

**GK User** Tue Sep 30, 2014 11:26 pm

Good evening,
i just changed via my webhost from the 5.5. to the 5.6. version of php and now on my page there appears
this kind of error:
Deprecated: Non-static method JApplicationSite::getMenu() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /htdocs/cyberholic/templates/gk_news/lib/framework/helper.layout.php on line 181 Deprecated: Non-static method JApplicationCms::getMenu() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /htdocs/cyberholic/libraries/cms/application/site.php on line 250

Can you tell me what to do to fix it?
Thanks in advance and have a good night,
Carlos

Hi,
you can try to use: error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT); - how ask your hosting provider.
PHP 5.6 is very new version - our developers didn't check yet all issues etc.
So if my tip didn't worked ... I hope you have to wait and use PHP 5.5 as it was.

Ok, I asked.
First error message is from our template indeed, but second is from Joomla core - it means that J3.3+ is not fully ready for PHP 5.6,
so I suggest to take a cold shower, switch to Php 5.5 and relax.

Good morning Oscar,
As you said, i just installed PHP 5.6. on my shower but now the water doesn't heat up.
Am i doing anything wrong with the soap?

Thanks a lot for the quick response and help about the Joomla and template fact. I just switched back to 5.5.
Once again thanks for your support and the service!
Greetings from this side on earth,

Oh no, we have a saying: "cold shower" means - cool off and do not run for new solutions, nor sleep under Apple shop for 2 days before new phone will come to grab it. :mrgreen:

I think soon also Joomla itself will be PHP 5.6 ready. I have to ask my hosting provider to update also for test purposes "only".

Our host does not allow php 5.5 - so we had to change this in template index.php

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors','On');

TO THIS --->

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~E_STRICT);
ini_set('display_errors','Off');

This removes the errors

Yep, I tested also this it means that GK solution are not ready for future php versions yet

I had the same problem and changed the template index as you said for the time being. Only my problem is now bigger, i have a blank site. Completely. I changed the index file back to 'on' but no result. Still a blank site.

Before that i made an update of the image show gk4, joomla site is 3.4

Cleared browser history but no result.

Any idea?

1) Error can be from Joomla and/or from template.
2) Set showing errors to MAX in Global configuration
Upgrading to Php 5.6 is not our priority right know, besides you didn't mention about template name.

**GK User** Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:41 pm

Sorry, it is Musicstate, i did a update check for the template again and with the newest template it was back working, but with the errors for image show. I tried to edit the index again but gives a blank site. I changed the index back to 'on' and the site was back again, but with the errors.

Is there any solution for not displaying the errors? I will contact the roster for downgrading the php anyway. Thanx for the quick reply.

For now i disable the image show module

**GK User** Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:45 pm

Two days ago we published updated version of Image Show module,
so please update module to current version (!)

**GK User** Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:50 pm

I downloaded yesterday the version Image show GK 4 vers 1.51 from you download center. I was in the understanding that it is the right one foor joomla 3.4?

Has this error been resolved?

**GK User** Mon May 18, 2015 9:21 pm

PHP 5.6 not yet I guess, if you still see it.

**GK User** Tue Nov 10, 2015 1:04 pm

Is there a way of hide these errors in gk_game template? It seems everything works perfect! But these errors just need to be hidden?

Thanks in advance, M
