Thanks for informing me about beta 3.5

Sorry I just found the link.

Is 3.5.0 designed run on php 7 ?

[pe7er]

Is 3.5.0 designed run on php 7 ?

Yes, I think so.
See: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/is ... -125494610
And when you submit PRs (Pull Requests, patches) they are checked against PHP7.

[Webdongle]

I cant get it to install on php 7. And if I install then switch php to 7 then front end displays but admin login screen just goes from /administrator to /administrator/index.php and empties the boxes. Front end displays but login refreshes and empties the boxes.

What PHP 7 version? The -dev string isn't giving much helpful data.

IIRC PHP 7 builds before the first or second beta had some quirks with the session handling that would cause Joomla to not work right at all. With the current release candidates, that should not be an issue.

[Webdongle]

...

ZeroXI_php_7_0_0_dev_may20.exe from http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniser ... XImodules/ . It's the only php 7 plugin that I could find for uniform server.

[deleted user]

That's heavily dated based on the filename. https://wiki.php.net/todo/php70#timetable shows all the release dates, you'll want a build for sometime after July 23 if you can find it. There are some hosts out there offering PHP 7 if you're using one of them, or if you're comfortable with running VMs there are a few out there for that as well. But with the date on that build string, I wouldn't rely on it; beta 1 or beta 2 was the first PHP 7 release where I was able to do most basic functions.

[Webdongle]

Thought it might be the php version. Have a 7 on my Host's server ... installed on there. Thanks

[ribo]

What is the minimum php requirement for 3.5 beta? It s like 3.x , (php 5.3.10 +) ? The point of my question is to test in 5.4 , 5, 5 and 5,6

[Webdongle]

A discussion about the new 'feature' that collects data being installed without specific permission can be seen at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/joomla- ... F_Ge0FBwAJ. Some users may find the discussion interesting.

[Per Yngve Berg]

Did a fresh install on Mysql 5.6.27 and php 5.6.14

Had to do a Database Fix.

Code: Select all

Table 'ux0po_banners' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_categories' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_contact_details' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_content' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_menu' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_newsfeeds' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_tags' does not have column 'alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)
Table 'ux0po_ucm_content' does not have column 'core_alias' with type 'varchar(191)'. (From file 3.5.0-2015-07-01.sql.)

My opinion is that this new feature must be selectable or disabled by from the install.

Perhaps a Poll should be created to get users views before 3.0 stable is released ?

It s a good idea but i am not sure if many users will see or read that poll.

[leolam]

3.0 Stable was a log time ago. (typo for sure) However that is not relevant. A poll on this issue is not feasible since the issue might be not understood by many of the users (which is not an offensive statement but just a fact) since the entire story should be clarified. Nothing is wrong with the collection of the data as mentioned for sure..... It is minimal and not intrusive and does not collect data from the (visiting) person itself so this entire discussion is useless for me?

That s why i asked here https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/j ... F_Ge0FBwAJ to clarify the data will be send with the stats plugin

[leolam]

That was already clarified if you check the posts and the Pull Requests

Yes ok, i was missunderstood with the test code of @alicon

I just saw also that they add new functions in stats plugin https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/8346

Yep and it has been merged. The devs reacted quickly to the concerns raised and adopted the suggestions. Thanks all

They changed based on Community/Google and Github communications so they listened well. Job explicitly well done by PHPRoberto

Thanks using Bitnami WAMP Stack 7.0.0RC6-0 Dev from https://bitnami.com/stack/wamp/installer ... for my localhost php 7 test environment.

[mandville]

discussing these "concerns" in the office today the best suggestion came up to provide a stats version and separate obscure minor link non stats version. ... <grin>
