Error on running anyfunction about joomla_plugin_sexypolling_reloaded HOT 5 CLOSED

Thank you for reporting the issue!

With the provided information, I can not reproduce the error. Can you provide more information, e.g. the log in the PHP error log file or the complete call stack, which is usually shown after the error message?

What did you do immediately before the error occured?

The version 4.1.0 is outdated. You should install the latest version 4.1.5 of the plugin. You should be able to find the latest version with the Joomla update management system and install it from there.

With an internet search, I could find the error message twice. In both of these cases, the error was related to the plugin "edsanimate", which is not running with PHP8. Could you check for this plugin in your Joomla installation?

Hi
My site is running on PHP 8.2
the plug in edsanimate is not present
And I have version 4.1.5
However, I have dropped back to PHP8 and the sexy polling is now working fine

from joomla_plugin_sexypolling_reloaded.

Thank you for the additional information.

I can reproduce the error now, if switching to PHP 8.1. I have no environment available to test PHP 8.2; but should be the same issue.

Reproduced with version 4.1.5, Joomla 3.10.11, PHP 8.1.13 after opening a sexy polling page in the backend.

Since PHP 8.1 is more strict on the version_compare function, it created an error. With the commited adaptions in the code, it now runs fine with PHP 8.1; hopefully also on 8.2.

The bugfix will be included in the next release, which is planned in the next days.

Bugfix included in newly released version 4.1.6
