Dear Joomlaworks team,

after switching to PHP7, I got "Deprected" errors for Allvideos and Simple Image Gallery. For AllVideos the Dev version handles this issue, however for SIG, the error still remains:

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; plgContentJw_sig has a deprecated constructor in /homepages/25/d27154510/htdocs/santosha-yoga/cms/33/plugins/content/jw_sig/jw_sig.php on line 18

Any solution to that?

Joomla 3.6.5
PHP 7.0.17

Thank you for your efforts
Michael

Hello Michael,

Which version of Sig are you using?

I updated to PHP 7 yesterday and immideately got the same error message from SIG, and that's using the last version available from your download. Any chance you will update it to remove this issue? Site is Joomla 3.7.

best rgds,
Jan Korshavn

Hello Jan,

Can you the DEV version instead?
github.com/joomlaworks/simple-image-gallery

hello,
i had the same problem than Mickael and yan....my site is now running on Joomla 3.7 and php7
I tried the dev version found on the github and the problem of deprecated message still remains with SIG , for "allvideos" it disappears.
Loading the dev version on the gitub with SIG result in installing SIG 3.0.1 which is the same version than previously.
It doesn't work, the deprecated message is always here.
Can we hope an evolution of the plugin?
Thank you for all

Deprecated: Methods with the same name as their class will not be constructors in a future version of PHP; plgContentJw_sig has a deprecated constructor in D:\xampp-chatelaudren\htdocs\joomla-chatelaudren-1\plugins\content\jw_sig\jw_sig.php on line 18

Hi, I would like to report the same problem. I try the Github version also and it's not working.

I believe that at JoomlaWorks already working on the solution so, I just want to post that problem probably will occur with many updated sites as
this plugin is very popular.

Best regards

to get rid of the deprecation message you can simply correct the code of the plugin with the correct V7 syntax.

find your file at : ../plugins/content/jw_sig

edit the jw_sig.php file and replace the "function plgContentJw_sig(" by * function __construct(

// JDB - remplacement de plgContentJw_sig par __construct
function __construct( &$subject, $params ){
parent::__construct( $subject, $params );

So you get rid of the message until it gets corrected!

Many thanks to JDB for this fix. To perhaps assist those that are even less comfortable with this code than I am, here's what I did in lines 28-30 of jw_sigpro.php --

I commented out the 3 lines with // then inserted the 3 lines JDP provided. The result looks like this:

// function plgContentJw_sigpro(&$subject, $params)
// {
// parent::__construct($subject, $params);

// JDB - remplacement de plgContentJw_sig par __construct
function __construct( &$subject, $params ){
parent::__construct( $subject, $params );

This solved the problem for me.
Thanks!

@Jean de Bosset Thanks buddy,

Thank you for the post. I just noticed the issue on our website. Seems odd that the authors don't publish this fix.
