- # 352
Steps to reproduce the issue
I just switched Joomla's server PHP version from PHP 5.6.x to 7.1.5 or 7.0.X
Expected result
Website including links works as before after clearing cache.
Actual result
When clicking on weblinks, it is stuck at the step, e.g., HTTX//URL/xxx?task=weblink.go&id=35 and doesn't actually go to the link destination (just blank page).
Also in den Admin Backend, I cannot edit links anymore (just goes to blank page as well).

If I follow a link a la "URL?task=weblink.go&id=35" then I receive
Fatal error: Cannot use Joomla\String\String as String because 'String' is a special class name in /xxx/htdocs/administrator/components/com_weblinks/tables/weblink.php on line 12
And, if I want to edit it in the admin interface I receive:
Fatal error: Cannot use Joomla\String\String as String because 'String' is a special class name in /xxx/htdocs/administrator/components/com_weblinks/models/weblink.php on line 13
Which version of weblinks do you use?
The last stable version 3.6.0 does not include that line.
It says 3.4.1
Isn't that component updated with the joomla core files upgrade?
How do I update it anyway? It doesn't show out of date...
No, there is no component update of weblinks with the core files any more. The Weblink component was decoupled for Joomla Core in v3.4.0.
Can you see an update message if you search updates in the Joomla backend menu
Extensions | Updates
and then the toolbar button "Find updates"?
You can find all releases here: https://github.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/releases
The current stable release is 3.6.0: https://github.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/releases/tag/3.6.0
I'm usually religiously updating my extensions. But it doesn't show any updates for the Weblinks component/extension when pressing find updates. I wonder why? Are my update repositories wrong? Did I do something wrong going from 3.4 up...? I wonder what other extension are updated now but don't show...
Thanks for your help. this is amazing. I was able to solve the problem by upgrading to the version 3.6.0

Please check your update sites ;)
Well…
There are a bunch of them. Any hint which one I should add to get update notifications such as the one for Weblink?
That would be much appreciated since my quick googling didn’t really help.

the URL should be https://raw.githubusercontent.com/joomla-extensions/weblinks/master/manifest.xml
Thanks!
I found the problem. I had an old extension in there (RokUpdate) that was preventing the rebuild of the update URLs. I deleted the old extension and was able to rebuild the update links. Now the Weblink update URL shows.
Thanks again a lot! I also found another out-of-date extension after I rebuild the links!!!
Best

Please enable debug and set the error reporting to maximum.
