leave pivotx for go where?

[loriswave]

Hi,
I have a pivotx blog since 2008, I have wrote my extensions and my themes and, honestly, I have always been happy and satisfied.

Now is time to think to the future and so I'm here to ask: which CMS would you use?

I have tryed WP but it seem complicated.
Some extensions (PHPlist integration for memebership for example) that I have wrote for Pivotx there are not and I not know how do, also make a simple template seems too heavy respect to pivotx.

At the same time adopt a CMS like bolt or similar that are rarely used and not have secure future...

I know that also WP can die, but the possibilities are not the same respect to others.

So, pivotx users, what do you think about this topic?

If you are happy with PivotX, why leave? We do make new security releases still, and very soon there will be a release of PivotX that adds PHP 7 compatibility.

An important (and easy) change would be to move the project repository to Github, to make it easier for other people to contribute since there no longer is a development team behind PivotX.

I'm still waiting and continue to use PivotX, I hope that this will survive

I'm very sorry that the promised new release hasn't been posted yet. (It will get version number 2.4.) Anyway, just grab http://pivotx.net/files/unstable-develo ... latest.zip It works for PHP 7 and is stable.

do you happen to know if this is fixable?

thanks!

Hi! I don't spend mucn (any) time on PivotX, but this fix might be as simple as providing a default value. On line 582 of module_extensions.php replace

Code: Select all

   function haveHook($type, $action) {

with

Code: Select all

   function haveHook($type, $action="") {

Did it help?

WOW! thanks Hans

Pivotx is now (seems to be) working fine under php 7.2!

Have a nice evening!

Thanks guys! Good to know, that PivotX will still work under php7.2.

Right now I’m testing Hans’ development version under php7.1 with good success, though I experienced a similar error upon attempt to log out of PivotX’ back-end. Error reads like so

Code: Select all

( ! ) Fatal error: Uncaught ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Events::add(), 1 passed in /www/site/pivotx/objects.php on line 2313 and at least 2 expected in /www/site/pivotx/objects.php on line 3612
( ! ) ArgumentCountError: Too few arguments to function Events::add(), 1 passed in /www/site/pivotx/objects.php on line 2313 and at least 2 expected in /www/site/pivotx/objects.php on line 3612

The solution according to Hans’ fix looks like this. Replace line 3612 in pivotx/objects.php

Code: Select all

function add($what, $uid, $extrainfo="") {

with

Code: Select all

function add($what="", $uid="", $extrainfo="") {
