Fatal error with minicslider.php

[fordtman]

If you are installing the latest version of Xampp (7.0.4) to create a localhost development environment and also use the free minicslider.php module be aware that you may get a fatal error similar to the following.

 

PHP Fatal error: 'continue' not in the  'loop' or 'switch' context in D:\Xampp\htdocs\shop\minicslider\minicslider.php on line 269

 

Line 269 is a continue statement that is not in a loop or continue block, replace it with an exit statement. It appears that the 'continue' statement outside of a 'loop' or 'switch' block was accepted in earlier versions of PHP but not in PHP 7. the code in Minicslider.php around line 269 reads:

 

if (!class_exists($module->name))

{

if (!file_exists(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.$module->name.'/'.$module->name,'.php'))

continue;  ***************line 269 ERROR HERE******************

require_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.$module->name.'/'.$module_name,'.php');

}

My apologies for not responding earlier, have been taking some time off. I am using Prestashop 1.6.1.4 and at the time installed Xampp 7 (which installs PHP 7), I solved the problem by reverting to Xampp 5.5.33 (PHP 5.5.33). PHP 7 does not appear to support Prestashop 1.6.1.4 at this time as I found a number of errors which do not occur when using PHP 5.5.33. I read somewhere that there are a number of "enhancements" in PHP 7 which now takes a stricter line on coding practices such as using "continue" statements in an "if" block. Somebody may be able to clarify this for us.

To fix this error simply go to the code and everywhere You see

 

continue

which is not in the loop o switch case.. Change it to

return false
