Solved K5 - ongoing php 7 issues

+1, kunena 5 not working on 7.06
the fatal error Error: 0 - Call to a member function get() on string is thrown.

The latest module throws this, and the forum link itself does too on my dev site. Its definitely Kunena, if i disable the lates module theerror goes away but is thrown again on the forum itself.

and i am testing v5 of the beta.

this is a show stopper

All verions of kunena doesn't work with the PHP7.0.6 version. You need to wait for new php version.

For now you could change back to 5.6 or 7.0.5

I wonder how many people have updated there PHP to an affected version 5.6.21 also has the same issue with attachments not showing.

I don't know the figure but, according to the Joomla usage statistics , less than 5% of all J! 3.5 users are using PHP 7.

Haven't seen anything written about that before. Could you show me where, in the forum, there's a report about this issue, please?

@sozzled, sorry my mistake it is an issue on my test site which had a load of the kunena images removed.
As an aside, how does kunena decide on the name of the folder for attachments?

Looking at the Joomla stats, almost 25% haven't updated to the latest 3.5.1 of Joomla. Although I would hazard a guess that those running php 7 are people that would keep there php updated to the latest version. In the same I would then expect them to be more likely to test Kunena 5 if they intend to use it on a test site first.

Hello,

The name of folder for attachments is based on the userid
