We just update the HikaShop 2.4.0 package with the fix so it will be compatible with PHP 5.0 - 5.2 You can re-download the HikaShop package. The previous code was using "static", which is for PHP 5.3 and newer.

Even if you do it with a,b, or c at the end of the version. That helps the user see that there is an update that could resolve their issue. So if i download 2.4.0 and you make a change to it 12 hours later without changing the version number how would i know that you updated the package? That would help than searching on the forums just to find out you guys made a change that i could have figured out myself by looking at the new version. I guess we need to update every 12 hours incase you made updates. That is poor version/quality control. Not trying to be an a hole but i think you know that i am right. Going forward will you guys change the version to show update changes or will it stay the same? Last edit: 11 years 7 months ago by [nokki00](/forum/user/32634-nokki00 "View nokki00's Profile").
