Testing Joomla 3.5 RC and PhP 7.0 with CB

I uploaded Joomla 3.5 RC to my test site and all appeared to work fine with PhP 5.6.16 however when I upgraded PhP to 7.0 I got a number of errors associated with the changes in PhP. I had thought that CB was ready for PhP 7.0 but at the end of the error string, you will note several CB plugin errors. Although just testing, any thoughts?

I have not personally tested PHP 7. Not all of those are from CB. Specifically only the following apply to CB.


The following we couldn't change yet due to B/C issues (still plugins using same class name as constructor). Will look into fixing those for next release to better prepare for PHP 7. Note the below shouldn't cause any issues beyond the deprecated notice.

The following is a bug in CB Reconfirm Email and am fixing for a new release.

Your fantastic. I figured you had not yet had a chance to test and since I was testing 3.5 anyways thought I would share. I know not all the errors are CB but included them so others might know what they may encounter if they try to upgrade once joomla 3.5 is released.

A new CB Reconfirm Email release is out now that should fix your fatal error. The deprecated notices should suppress when you disable debug mode and/or error reporting in Joomla global configuration.

The deprecated notices in CB we'll have to carefully look over to prevent breaking backwards compatibility. They at least shouldn't cause any issues for you though.
