Error While Updating Various Store Preferences

[bergie]

Hi, 

 

I just did a clean install of Prestashop 1.6.1.3 under Ubuntu 14.04 and PHP 7.0 (official release). When I try to customize my settings, I get the following errors on many screens:

 

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught Error: Access to undeclared static property: Validate::$values in /var/www/prestashop/classes/controller/AdminController.php:1389

 

Sometimes the change seems to be saved, sometimes not.

 

Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround for it?

 

Thanks!

 

** EDIT ** - nevermind, just found the thread about this!

Would you post the thread so others would benefit?

Sure! 

 

The issue is linked to PHP 7.

 

Answer thread is here: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/494419-can%C2%B4t-update-any-infomation-in-configurations/

 

Also, if you are comfortable doing some edits, I bypassed the issue  by replacing Validate::$values['property'] with Validate::{$values['property']}. 

 

However, note that tihs is NOT a complete or official solution, and  there are multiple occurrence in the AdminController for this change, and probably elsewhere in other controllers. This was good enough for me to progress, but this is an incomplete fix. As far as I understood, support for PHP 7 will land in Prestashop V1.7.0 planned for Q1 2016.

 

Cheers!
