HikaShop - PHP 7.0 ?

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5.0
-- PHP version -- : 7.0
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; hikashopTranslationHelper has a deprecated constructor in ../administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/translation.php on line 11

Witch HikoShop Version will be ready for PHP 7.0 ?

Hi,

This message is not a problem.
It means that it still works like that and that it will need to be changed for PHP7.1 or PHP8.
For PHP7.0, you can use it like that. The deprecated messages shouldn't appear on a live website as they should always be turned off. These messages are only for developers.

We've tested HikaShop already on PHP7.0 on our end and from what we tested, it worked just fine. We'll of course change the constructor names for the next version of HikaShop but you can already use HikaShop on PHP7 without these changes.

Joomla 3.5
HikaShop Business 2.6.1 [1601201648]

When i change the settings to PHP7, we only get white pages. Is it possible to get Hikashop running on PHP7? (other websites without Hiksashop run nicely on J3.5 / PHP7 btw).

Kind regards,
Wiebe

Hi Wiebe,

This afternoon I upgraded a website with hikashop business edition 2.6.1 ( www.luizink-werktuigen.nl ) to Joomla 3.5 and PHP 7.0 and I don't see any problem so far. So, yes Hikashop seems to run on PHP7.

Regards, Benny.

Thanks, i'll have another look. (Bedankt Benny)

edit: Strange, now it's working. Glad i had another look, it's working indeed!
