Hello,

We are actually testing our websites for PHP 8 and noticed that SJ Categories Accordion raise an error : 0 - Call to undefined function create_function()

Could you please tell us if you plan to make it compatible with this PHP version and with Joomla 4 ?

Thanks in advance for your help and have a nice day.

Dear appnweb,

Please go to the file: modules\mod_sj_categories_accordion\core\helper.php and find:
case 'title':
usort($cats, create_function('$a, $b', 'return strnatcasecmp( $a->title, $b->title);'));
break;
case 'created':
usort($cats, create_function('$a, $b', 'return $a->created_time < $b->created_time;'));
break;

Edit to:

case 'title':
usort($cats, function($a, $b){return strnatcasecmp( $a->title, $b->title);});
break;
case 'created':
usort($cats, function($a, $b) {return $a->created_time < $b->created_time;});
break;

Please see screenshot:

Thanks

Sorry for the late answer, I was away from the office.

I just tried but it does not work and seems to break syntax as it raises error :syntax error, unexpected token ")", expecting "{"

I had a look at it in my editor and the first usort() seems to be the cause. I tried to attach a screenshot of it but it seems the file field does not work.

By the way, could you please tell me what are your plans regarding Joomla 4 ?

Because I may need to migrate this website in a near future which means a PHP 8 fix is not really useful if no Joomla 4 compatible version is planned.

Thanks in advance for your help and have a nice day.
