What is your Smarty version ?
If it is 3.1.4, so this is a very OLD version with many Security alerts max PHP 7.x
- https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/tree/support/3.1
- https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/bl ... ANGELOG.md
For PHP 7.1 to PHP 8.1. use Smarty 4

Hi Jean-Claude Etiemble

Thanks for your suggestion - it is stock CMSMS2.2.16 + a few modules.

CMSMS2.216 includes Smarty 3.1.31, not Smarty4.0 - I thought that CMSMS2.216 was supposed to be PHP8.0 ready ?. PHP7.4 is only 1 month away from end of life ( https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php ) and various Hosting Company's cease to provide PHP7.4 at the end of this year. So CMSMS2.2.16 will soon be unusable ?

We should all upgrade Smarty4 within CMSMS2.2.16 - shouldn't the Dev Team do the next release of CMSMS to include a PHP8 capable version of Smarty ?

Regards

This specific issue is caused by debug mode and needs to be fixed, of course it isn't the user's responsibility to replace the Smarty version. We are working on new releases (2.2.17 and beyond) as best as we can.

For specific, reproducible issues like this it's best to file a bug report. I have done so at http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/bug/view/12565

Thanks DIGI3

I did in fact look for a link to the bug reporting for the core (I know how to navigate to bug reporting for modules) but I failed to find a link to bug reporting for the core - so thanks for that.

And thanks to all of the Dev team, testers and translators for your excellent efforts

And yes, other than debug, all my testing on PHP8 has worked fine.

Regards

question for the Dev Team

I see that the bug has been fixed in the forge - is the fix (which I assume will be bundled in to 2.2.17) going to be released before the end of 2022 because PHP7.x ceases to be supported end of 2022 and this bug means that 2.2.16 can not be run in debug mode at all from Jan 1, 2023 ?

thanks for all your efforts
