Phoca Forum

Hello all,
I am in preparation of upgrading to Joomla 4. As a first step I did the update to Joomla! 3.10.12 yesterday.
In the backend, Phocadownload now shows the following messages:

Deprecated: Required parameter $currentId follows optional parameter $id in ...
Deprecated: Required parameter $rightUsers follows optional parameter $rightType in ...
Deprecated: Required parameter $link follows optional parameter $view in ...
Deprecated: Required parameter $title follows optional parameter $view in ...
Deprecated: Required parameter $target follows optional parameter $view in ...

The messages appear in the backend not in the control panel, but also every other page. Installed is the version 3.2.3. Before the update of Joomla the message was not present.

What can I do? Glad about a feedback.
Best regards Thore

Hi Thore,

Which PHP Version are you using?

Kind regards
Christine

Hey Christine,
i'm sorry, I forgot: php 8.0.29

Best regards Thore

Hi, "deprecated" warnings are warnings for developers so they should change their code in future.

There are two options how to solve it:
a) disable such warnings in Joomla Global configuration (so only developers see them not end users)
b) update Joomla and Phoca Download to latest versions so they are fit with new PHP

Thank you very much, the tips are helpful.
