Joomla 4.2.3 and Onepage template

Asked by Guy 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

Hello,

I have basic Joomla 4.2.2. site , recently upgraded from Joomla 3.10.x

It only has the default template - I have removed all other templates.

I installed OnePage template only and when I switch to it I get a 500 error.

When the debug is switched on I see it is a parse error:

"Unclosed '{' on line 72" on the home page.

Since posting this issue, I also installed a J4 Quickstart version of the Onepage template (fresh install).

Everything worked OK, until I switched to the SP Page Builder Pro component and the 'Frontend Editor' to edit the home page.

Immediately I got the same parse error.

Then I changed the PHP version from 8.0 to 7.4 and the templates started to work.

When I switched again to PHP 8.1 the templates are working again BUT only if the 'debug' mode is on & reporting is set to 'maximum'.

Accepted answer

Definitely, yes. Helix Ultimate is already ready and running with PHP 8. You can try Helix Ultimate based templates. For Helix3, you will have to wait to get PHP 8 compatibility. We hope to update it within this year.

Hello Guy

I have solved the parsing issue. The template is not PHP 8 compatible yet. So, please use PHP 7.4. We do not have any estimate right now. But we are working on it. We are also aware of PHP 7.4 security update dying.

Best regards

Hello Ofi,

Yes, PHP 7.4 is end security updates by Nov. 2022.

Please note the template seems to be working with PHP 8.1 only if the 'debug' mode is on & reporting is set to 'maximum'.

Do you think it is better to develop my site on a more recent template?
