Question Small problem during upgrade

I upgraded from 1.0.9 All was fine until I opened up the forum on my site, the following error was posted across the top of the forum:


Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name](). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file. in /XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/XXXX/components/com_kunena/kunena.php on line 247 Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of [runtime function name]().

I have no idea what this is about. I looked at the kunena.php file, but not knowing anything about php I had no clue what to do, so I opened up php.ini and added the line allow_call_time_pass_reference = 1 and everything worked fine.

Just wanted to pass this along, incase it makes sense to someone else. Thanks.

Hello,

read this : www.kunena.com/forum?func=view&catid=92&id=16728#16821 , you can use too the search function.

I didn't turn to the forums on how to fix it, this is why no search was performed. But after reading your post xillibit, I am left wondering if the fix listed in your link in your posting is better/safer/more desirable than my fix. What are your thoughts about this? Should I undo my fix and use the one listed instead?

It's better not to change php.ini because of software bug. It's OK, but I'd rather fix software than allow using deprecated features from PHP.

It's matter of taste: you can either change php.ini or fix Kunena.

Thanks for reporting this bug!
