blocktopmenu - PHP version incompatibility after update

[jpot]

When I updated modules in clean Prestashop 1.6.0.9 installation, I got PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION which blocked front office and back office's modules tab.

 

I think this could be caused by PHP incompatibility in blocktopmenu module's blocktopmenu.php line 1236. My server is PHP 5.2.17 and recent change in this file:

https://github.com/PrestaShop/blocktopmenu/commit/7a56e67fbf291b651e87e85825ca0256ca58d892

uses anonymous function which is PHP 5.3+

 

Prestashop 1.6 is described as PHP 5.1+ so I think this should be avoided. Could someone with proper knowledge check it?

 

If you get your Presta blocked by this update, try commenting lines 1236 - 1238 in /modules/blocktopmenu/blocktopmenu.php - put double slash // at beginings of lines:

            array_walk($link['label'], function(&$value) {
                $value = Tools::htmlentitiesDecodeUTF8($value);
            });

or you can rewrite this code to not use anonymous function

or update your PHP version

Having the same issue since updating blocktopmodule to v2.0.3.

 

Commented the lines and now have the top menu back on the front end although the blocktopmenu module is no longer listed on the back end, seems a few people are now having issues since the update.

I've tried this but it won't work for me.. front office blank page.

 

please help me..

[sooroos]

temporary solution would be to install the old version of blocktopmenu v2.0.2

[henkkap]

Hello,

 

How can i get the old version?

[henkkap]

Yes, I've fixed it. I did something wrong. For other users: You have to go to your blocktopmenu in your root of your domein. I was trying to do it in themes and that won't work. Thank you for your help.

 

You need to do the changes overhere: /your domain/modules/blocktopmenu

 

NOT HERE: your domain/themes/your theme/modules/blocktopmenu

I have the same problem, i commented the linea 1236, 1237 and 1238 and work fine. Front page is back.

[revofire]

This this AND THIS. Everything screwed up after hitting that update module button for the top horizontal bar. Whenever you try to load the modules list it just breaks with that error. Will try the fixes listed above now...

Thanks again!

JPot, this is temporary solution, and a lot of things on the home page stop working. it does bring the site back online, and thanks a lot for that. is there any permanent solution, so i can sleep without nightmares of the site crashing again?

 

i read on similar posts, some people changed the entire "Blocktopmenu" folder using ftp. u think that should do it? i'm really technically challenged. having come this far itself is an achievement for me. i dont wanna do something that i cant fix later on. really seeking a permanent solution to this once n for all.
