in response to: b2evolution hack for PHP 8 preliminary release.
'The front end is completely broke.'
This is the major fatal error attempted fix by the hack above:
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Object of class WidgetContainer could not be converted to string in /path/to/b2evolution/inc/skins/skin.funcs.php, i.e.,
https://github.com/b2evolution/b2evolution/issues/122#issue-2009151128
It is a show stopper. Notwithstanding, the other two fatal errors in the backend tabs referenced above are no less infuriating / exasperating. Yet, all have been apparently resolved to make PHP 8 display appropriately, as well, with relevant hacks.

Thanks, will have a look. I did try something a while back but went back to php7, though I have php8 installed on my server I think I avoided using it. Will try again.
All the best

so now i think i found out why the login problem the 2 b2evo installs share the same cookie name b2evo so the salt from the on install is different from the other so i had to differentiate the 2 installs by changing this in _advanced.php.
/**

* Change this only if you install mutliple b2evolution instances on the same server or same domain.

*
* @global string Default: 'b2evo'
*/
$instance_name = 'blog2evo'; // MUST BE A SINGLE WORD! NO SPACES!!

Just to say hi and will think about your issue.
As you are using letsencrypt is this your own server?
Please read the post, which details info you could provide as a basis though you provide quite a bit :)

I will install a fresh 7.2.5 blog on my site to see how it all goes

in response to: RSS Feed - Change Sorting Order
Hello @amoun,
thanks for your reply.
I think this is part of core b2e. It seems that RSS Feeds (also ATOM) follow the sorting order of the startpage.
I found a workaround: There is a way to build an RSS Feed to special Categories.
/?tempskin=_rss2&cat=ID
Now I list every new post also in a category named "Newest Posts" and built an RSS Feed of this Category. That works.
Hope you are well. And again, thank you for taking care of this forum so consistently and helpfully!
Regards, Will

in response to: RSS Feed - Change Sorting Order
- Never used RSS but will have a look . . . .
- Start with the /skins/_rss2 maybe to see what is 'pulls' in and from where etc.
- Seems to use /xmlsrv/ where there is
rss.php and rss2.php . . . which do very little it seems
Nope I didn't find anything there :(
So is that the output you get is in the same order as 'any' and all other skins use and hence the order of listing has to make an exception for RSS?
So is this RSS looking at your own feeds or those of incoming third parties

Hi,
Is version 7.2.5 compatible with PHP 8?
OK, thanks @oigreslima your new blog looks really good, very elegant!
Hi @nomad. I haven't decided yet. But I think I'll put all the comments on a "history page" and try to import them in the future.
At the moment, from what I've researched, there isn't a ready way to import comments to the respective post, without getting into programming.
Unfortunately!
PS: I have already imported about 1000 blog entries. I haven't done the redirect yet (but I've tested it using htaccess and it worked).
Old blog: https://sfl.pro.br/blogs/index.php/sergio-blog/
New blog: https://sfl.pro.br/blog/

Hi @oigreslima thanks a lot! I was wondering about export options as well. How does the import of comments work? And usernames? (I have lots of comments that I don't want to miss)
It remember vaguely there was an export option to Movable Type format for b2evolution 7.0.2 or so which than can be used to import it to Wordpress (I read it somewhere but don't remember where).
As b2evolution doesn't support php8 and php7.4 is no longer supported and will be phased out by the hosters, we need a way to migrate.

Oh, that's true, there is only 7.0.1.
What are your plans, @amoun ? Are you going to migrate? If yes, how? Or is somebody working on php 8 compatibility?
Hi
Have you seen my note, that the newer downloads I have do not have that option and there is no 7.0.2 ?

Hello everyone, sharing here a possible path for those who want to migrate their blog from b2evolution to a static system. (2023)
I chose pelican (https://docs.getpelican.com/) because it has native rss import support. I won't go into details (sorry, you'll have to read the documentation). But in short, follow these steps:
1) Install, on your server, pelican and the dependencies for the importer (generally a simple task on debian like systems with root access)
2) Generate blog rss every year (for blogs with many entries) http://yourblogaddress/year/?tempskin=_rss2
Save the file in a directory on the server that will receive the file
3) run the importer on this file: Unfortunately it puts the categories as tags. Either manually edit each general file or (if you know it, not my case) a script can automate it.
4) Generate the static pages in pelican
As I don't know programming, I'm going to migrate, little by little, from the most recent posts to the oldest ones!
Is there any advantage of using php8? if b2evo was designed around 7 ?/
I have other things I'm working on currently so won't be of much use me thinks. :(
