NC25: Call to undefined method OC_App::registerPersonal()

[cscholz]

I have updated to Nextcloud 25 RC2 today. Rainloop can no longer be activated since then.

According to nextcloud (lib/public/App.php), the registerPersonal function is deprecaed

[...]
        /**
         * Register a Configuration Screen that should appear in the personal settings section.
         * @param string $app appid
         * @param string $page page to be included
         * @return void
         * @since 4.0.0
         * @deprecated 14.0.0 Use settings section in appinfo.xml to register personal admin sections
         */
        public static function registerPersonal($app, $page) {
                \OC_App::registerPersonal($app, $page);
        }
[...]

It helped to disable the function call.

/apps/rainloop/appinfo/app.php
[...]
$app = new OCA\RainLoop\AppInfo\Application();
$app->registerNavigation();
//$app->registerPersonalSettings();
$app->getContainer()->query('RainLoopHelper')->registerHooks();
[...]

Is there any impact of disabling the function call?

The app can then be activated and used.

In the admin area, the menu item for setup can be reached further. I think with the user there was also a setting item. I don't see it anymore - if it was really there before.

I recommend that you take a loot at snappymail being ported to Nextcloud. Snappymail is maintained unlike Rainloop that seems not to be anymore. https://github.com/the-djmaze/snappymail/issues/96
