Hello ARI Ext Menu users,
due to facing the same challenge with PHP 8 migration for my joomla site, I created a patch for the ARI Ext Menu, which I provide on Github:
github.com/Jefferson49/PHP8_mod_ariextmenu
The patch was developed and successfully tested with:
- joomla 3.10.11; but should also run with other joomla 3.x versions
- PHP 8.0.20
- ARI Ext Menu 2.2.11
The following aspects of the PHP code were patched in 6 PHP files of the module:
- Substitution of curly braces for character access in arrays (e.g. "my_array[0]" instead of "my_array{0}")
- Declaration of static methods as static (i.e. "static function" instead of "function" only)
