Hi there,

When switching to PHP 7 and Joomla 3.6.0 with K2 v2.7.0 I get the following messages.

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; Calendar has a deprecated constructor in /modules/mod_k2_tools/includes/calendarClass.php on line 32

I have searched and found a thread on Github github.com/getk2/k2/issues/293 but somehow it does not solve the problem. I only use the K2 tools module to show categories of K2 not the calendar. I hope someone can help!

Marc

Hi Marc,

This is not an error, it is just a warning message to take care about in future releases.

To get rid of this message, go to the Global Configuration, Server tab and set Error Reporting to "None", like this screenshot

Hi Mohamed,
Thanks for your reply! I already had error reporting set to none and even on the server checked that deprecated was not showing.
Could it be k2 has set another .ini file somewehere?

Note that while this is "just a warning", the deprecated features that are being warned about *will* be removed in a future version of PHP, possibly even 7.1, which is due for release fairly soon. At that point, the deprecated warnings will turn into fatal errors.

I hope that the K2 team is working on an update to remove these issues (certainly this specific issue is dead easy to fix, so it shouldn't be too much effort).

Update on this issue. I have contacted the provider and they assure me all error reporting is set the right way. Strange thing that al error reporting is off on server level and in joomla But still the k2 message is showing.

I have changed:

modules/mod_k2_tools/includes/calendarClass.php

line 37
function Calendar()

to

line 37
function Calendar2()

probably a stupid hack but it works... message is gone and I don't use the calendar anyway.

Hi
It is better to change it to __construct()

Thanks Mohamed, I have changed it!

Just my 2cents. K2 will not use a custom .ini file to alter your server's settings.

K2 inherits Joomla!'s values, so if errors are still being displayed, there is either an issue on the setup, an .ini file or the template might be using the error reporting function php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php.
