Aiga / T3 PHP8 compatability?

jaimied · Nov 4, 2021

Is Aiga and T3 Framework fully PHP8 compatible? I have Joomla 4.04 and PHP8.0.0rc1
In Joomla Admin, When I go to:
system > Templates > Template Styles
click on the JA_Aiga template I get a php error, the error log states:

[Thu Nov 04 14:54:49.456870 2021] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 74157:tid 140475478562560] [client 78.129.249.46:53062] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Namespace declaration statement has to be the very first statement or after any declare call in the script in /plugins/system/t3/includes/core/t3.php(525) : eval()'d code on line 9', referer: /administrator/index.php?option=com_templates&view=styles&client_id=0

I get a similar error on the front end.

Hi
Yes the latest version of the template should work fine : https://www.joomlart.com/member/downloads/joomlart/joomla-templates/ja-aiga
Please check template and T3 is updated to latest version and also use stable PHP 8
Let me know with site login in edit fields option if the issue remain same with the latest versions and stable PHP 8

Thank you for your reply, I have double checked my PHP version which is 8.0.0r1 (!) this may be the problem, I am consulting with my host to check on this, I may stick with PHP7.4 for now.

Just to report on this it was my server, upgrading to PHP8.0.12 solved the problem,

All the best,
