Hey everyone! Latest Kunena is generating errors on Index View (Home) view of the Kunena Forums.

Example can be seen here: alabama.wethepeopleonline.com/alabama-st...ma-state-assemblage/

4 Different Error Lines referred:

Full Error:
Code:
Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in [APACHE2.4.X-DATA-PATH]/libraries/vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php on line 749 Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in [APACHE2.4.X-DATA-PATH]/libraries/vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php on line 1860 Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in [APACHE2.4.X-DATA-PATH]/libraries/vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php on line 2519 Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in [APACHE2.4.X-DATA-PATH]/libraries/vendor/leafo/lessphp/lessc.inc.php on line 2573

Does anyone know how I could manually patch these lines? I am guessing this has to do with something in the latest PHP 7.4.x. This also was displaying before the 5.2.19 upgrade from 5.2.18.

Thanks for any assistance.

P.S. - It is doing this on all 50 states (subdomains) all separate Joomla Installations isolated from one another.

Best Regards,

Brandon

Hello,

In our case it's the library coming from Joomla! which have this issue, Kunena have the same library with the fixes : libraries/kunena/external/lessc/lessc.php. In Joomla! 4.0 this library has been removed, but it stays like that in Joomla! 3.9 and 3.10

I have opened an issue on Joomla! repository : github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/30452
I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

The library lessc.php is abandonned so it won't be fixed by the owner of it and it won't be fixed neither by Joomla! .BTW it's removed in Joomla! 4.0

Does this mean that we are supposed to swap the Joomla code with the version from Kunena? Is there a recommendation that does not require over-writing the Joomla distribution? All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
C.

Hello,

In most cases the lessc.php library from Joomla! and loaded and not one from Kunena, so the temporary fix should be to copy lessc.php from Kunena into Joomla!...
The only way is use a namespaced one on Kunena like that it should load only this one in Kunena, not sure if it work in J!3.9 or use another library in Kunena : issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/30569#event-553016 . So finally, Joomla! has made a fork of dead lessc.php : github.com/joomla-backports/lessphp/tree/dev-joomla3-php8 to keep supporting in J!3.9/3.10

Hi, Kunena should apply namespacing to avoid these issues with (unwillingly / random) shared libraries. just my 2cts
sharing = caring

In Kunena 6.0 (the version which is made for Joomla! 4.0 and beyond) we have done a huge work to move all Kunena code to namespace, but now on Joomla! 3.9.23 the change to update the lessc.php library in Joomla! has been merged : github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/31428 . Not tested yet Kunena 5.2 dev or K5.1.19 with Joomla! 3.9.23-RC but i think it should solve the issue

I've tested it with both Kunena versions on Joomla 3.9.23-rc. Yes, it solves this issue.
