after a clean install im having a fatal error Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function eregi() in /home//public_html/blocks/block-Sommaire.php:27
its causing many more error and my home page is not displaying home models and only one block. seems to start after the host upgraded php version to 5.3
the clean install was the newest install version on this site and is capable to the php upgrade on host

As the error message stated: the eregi function was DEPRECATED in PHP 5.3.0, and REMOVED in PHP 7.0.0. Many old third party modules and addons have outdated code like this. This was the reason why I started the patching of the core package.

The big question is, if you really need this old block-file and you are not able to clean it, please post also the affected codeline. I don't have all addons from the last 20 years of php-nuke to compare it.

Sommaire addon is really nasty in my eyes. Take a look.

It needs a good treatment and clean code.. Shocked

I checked the files and it makes no sense to patch it because it needs a cleaning of each single codeline. I know this script from my first tries with PHP Nuke in 2002 and it has always been buggy. Now it would have to be cleaned up completely, so that a new development would take much less time. Give it up!

You have other ways to create a simple navigation-block with links to your used modules. You can create a simpe HTML-block with the block-administration and add custom hyperlinks with the ckeditor. Or with a llitle bit know-how in PHP/HTML you can create an hard-coded block-file. At the end it shows only hyperlinks in a custom order.

I use the same module and bloc "functional" (we will say) but for the forked phpnuke "php-maximus with 5.3 version.

Maybe can you compare and adapt for your cms.

gravutrad, this will have the same old code-base and as I stated before, you have other ways to create a simple navigation-block with links to your used modules. PHP7 has a big difference to PHP5, that is the reason why the old codebase will not more work. Wink

Yes i know. I was only saying this for "lzservers" if he wants a base which works (but needs to be readapted for his nuke base).
