Punbb 1.4.5 error with php 7.2 : Visman punbb works with 7.2 and 7.4

I don't know who published punbb 1.4.5 on the main site.

PunBB 1.4.5 has been released

Version 1.4.5 offers: support for php 7+

Dowloads: get PunBB 1.4.5 on Downloads page.

Posted on 2020-01-31    <==== O_o 

I don't know any official punbb developer at the moment.

On github, the last commit from 2017 https://github.com/punbb/punbb/commits/master

Another thing, both punbb 1.4.5 and your fixed version lack the "strikethrough text" basic function.
I remember i tried 2 years ago, a punbb version that have this function (as del_bb extension is old and didn't work) :
https://github.com/punbb/punbb/issues/153
It worked nice, but now that version is old (2017) and lack your fixes for php until 7.4.
So i plan to apply thoses changes to your version, to integrate the "strikethrough text" function by default when installing  :
https://github.com/apmuthu/PunBB/commit … 1f196b161a
What do you think about it? Phpbb has this function by default, punbb should have, and not a heavy code.

As you talk about doing with an extension (i don't know how to create an extension making those changes), if you can show me some explanation how to apply some changes through an extension, i'll be glad to see that, hoping it's not too much complicated , i tried again the old extension del_bb 1.0 :
https://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic … ough-text/
And this time (with your punbb version), it works
I don't remember what was the problem, but i'm glad to see it can work again.

Edit : i have this error in the help bbcode section with that extension :

Warning: array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, null given in /zeforums.com/help.php(92) : eval()'d code on line 17

Any idea to correct this?

In the manifest.xml, about help section, i see this code :

<hook id="he_new_bbcode_text_style"><![CDATA[
            if (!isset($del_bbc)) {
                if ($forum_user['language'] != 'English' && file_exists($ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/del_bbc.php')) {
                    require $ext_info['path'].'/lang/'.$forum_user['language'].'/del_bbc.php';
                } else {
                    require $ext_info['path'].'/lang/English/del_bbc.php';
                }
            }
            $lang_help = array_merge($lang_help, $del_bbc);
?>
            <div class="entry-content">
                <code>[del]<?php echo $del_bbc['text'] ?>[/del]</code><span><?php echo $lang_help['produces'] ?><br /></span>
                <?php echo $del_bbc['product'] ?>
            </div>
<?php
        ]]>
        </hook>

line 17 of help.php i see that :

($hook = get_hook('he_start')) ? eval($hook) : null;

Thanks, now there's no error in bbcode help and it displays correctly the help (in french in my forum)
