Shape 5

Hi,

I am getting a few error messages when i try to install the site shaper for political joomla

Its a fresh install, and first page i get these errors. Please see attached screenshot.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I believe it still should install. These are more notices than errors. Some of the PHP functions should be updated and your newer version of PHP is outputting these and letting you know. Its because the Site Shaper is the older Joomla 2.5 version.

Hi,

Just attempted the install again now, its been about 30mins and still on the same screen just after selecting the country..

I am using php 7.

What do i need to do to install this site shaper.

I have so far commented out the following from the files below, and the installation is still stuck on 1, Language, the status indicator is whirring round and round for past 30 mins..

Changes i made are :
Registry.php
Line 342    // $result = $node->$nodes[$i] = $value;

input.php
Lines 652-656
      //$source = strtr($source, $ttr);
      // Convert decimal
      //$source = preg_replace('/&#(\d+);/me', "utf8_encode(chr(\\1))", $source); // decimal notation
      // Convert hex
      //$source = preg_replace('/&#x([a-f0-9]+);/mei', "utf8_encode(chr(0x\\1))", $source); // hex notation
      //return $source;

string.php
line 28-30
   // These are settings that can be set inside code
   //iconv_set_encoding("internal_encoding", "UTF-8");
   //iconv_set_encoding("input_encoding", "UTF-8");
   //iconv_set_encoding("output_encoding", "UTF-8");

Currently using php v7

I just remembered that php7 was not supported back then on Joomla 2.5 unfortunately. Only Joomla 3.5 and higher supports php7:

You would need to use a local server like WAMP and try to find an older non php7 version. Install it and then upgrade to Joomla 3.x

This is really annoying because we finalised on this one template and it's not eork in as easy as it should be.

I just tried on 5.4php and dame issue again.

Can you not provide me with a version that works.

Would you be able to provide me access for the 5.4 site? I just tried on php 5.5.12 and its working fine for me.

Also are you sure you want to go with this template due to its lack of responsive capabilities? It is quite an older template and I just want to make sure you are aware of that.
