Problem with PHP8

[Juergen-aus-Zuendorf]

Hi,

after updating the dokuwiki server to PHP8 the ckgedit plugin fails with the following error message when I go to the konfig page of the admin console:

dokuwiki\Exception\FatalException: Declaration of renderer_plugin_ckgedit::header($text, $level, $pos) must be compatible with Doku_Renderer_xhtml::header($text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false)
An unforeseen error has occured. This is most likely a bug somewhere. It might be a problem in the ckgedit plugin.

What can I do?

Best regards
Juergen

Unfortunately, I don't have php8 installed for testing. But this hopefully will work.

@Juergen-aus-Zuendorf
Have you tried the fix?

[Juergen-aus-Zuendorf]

Unfortunately, I did not have access to the test server yesterday.

So here is the test result from today. Unfortunately, an error message appears again:

dokuwiki\Exception\FatalException: Declaration of renderer_plugin_ckgedit::header($text, $level, $pos) must be compatible with Doku_Renderer_xhtml::header($text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false)
An unforeseen error has occured. This is most likely a bug somewhere. It might be a problem in the ckgedit plugin.

And here is the excerpt from the log file:

2022-07-06 06:37:41
dokuwiki\Exception\FatalException: Declaration of renderer_plugin_ckgedit::header($text, $level, $pos) must be compatible with Doku_Renderer_xhtml::header($text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false)
/var/www/html/wiki/lib/plugins/ckgedit/renderer.php(68)
#0 [internal function]: dokuwiki\ErrorHandler::fatalShutdown()
#1 {main}

[turnermm]

Check line 68 of renderer.php. If it doesn't have the returnonly Parameter then there was an error in the installation of the php8 branch.

[Juergen-aus-Zuendorf]

The code on line 68 is
function header($text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false)
What shall I do now?

Hi,I'm having the same problem as you, but I've solved it. Just replace $text, $level, $pos with $text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false. You can huave a try.

[Juergen-aus-Zuendorf]

Thank you, now it works !

I got this error today, even after downloading the latest from github.

dokuwiki\Exception\FatalException: Declaration of renderer_plugin_ckgedit::header($text, $level, $pos) must be compatible with Doku_Renderer_xhtml::header($text, $level, $pos, $returnonly = false) D:\Apache24\htdocs\dokuwiki\lib\plugins\ckgedit\renderer.php(68)

This worked for me, but it's time to switch to PHP 8, as per this: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php PHP 7 will reach EOL in a couple of months.

commit 8df8f21

This was fixed in the above commit. Make sure you have the “current” branch, not the master. Ckgedit has been been tested against php 7.4 and 8.x

[JorgeCarousel]

Gotcha, Current, not master.

[turnermm]

Is there a reason why you don't use the extension manager?

[JorgeCarousel]

I did, until it stopped showing me there were updates available.

[turnermm]

Sometimes it could be that I hadn't gotten around to updating the plugin page or the version date in the plugin.txt file. You can always see the most recent commits on the plugin page and use the reinstall button in the extension manager for the latest version.

[JorgeCarousel]

I deleted the previous folder, put in the "current" I downloaded and hit re-install, let's see how it goes.
