downgrade to php 5.3 . Really I not understand you guys more of CMS have 
problems with php after 5.3

downgrade.

It seems it would be a fairly simple fix by adjusting the common.php file in 
the /includes directory.  There is a couple of cases in the switch(DEBUG_LEVEL) 
area where php.ini can get overridden on whether it displays errors.  If you 
have been staring and fretting over the error reporting section of php.ini you 
should see some familiar terminology in that section.

hmm TBH I did not think of looking in cb includes for common.php setting.
I will try this after I get my varnish server ironed out.

You should find the file that contain class 'CBTemplate' (in 
includes/classes/template.class.php) and add 'static' be-hide the line 
'function assign()' (around line 42) to 'static function assign()'. Now you can 
resolve this problem.

have you verified this works?
not able to test this right yet so if you have that would be great.

Original comment by theconse...@gmail.com on 3 Apr 2013 at 4:01

[GoogleCodeExporter]

can you expand on that please?
looking at line 42 is 
    function assign($var, $value) {
        global $Smarty;
        if (!isset($Smarty)) {
            CBTemplate::create();
        }
        $Smarty->assign($var, $value);

so not sure what you are saying to do

ahh I think I see
in includes\common.php set all error reporting from 1 to 0 and change 
includes/classes/template.class.php to
static function assign($var, $value) {
        global $Smarty;
        if (!isset($Smarty)) {
            CBTemplate::create();
        }
        $Smarty->assign($var, $value);

testing now, so far stuff plays and I am testing uploads now

An extra .02 - I've been using cb for a while - dig it - props to Arslan 

I rebuilt on a new Fedora build, and ran into the strict issue in php 5.4 - 

For me - changing that function to be static only caused more issues -spent 
about an hour trying to rewrite the functions so they wouldn't throw errors, 
but in the end it was easier to just rip out php 5.4 and install 5.3

Edit common.php in the includes directory -  around line 86 change the code to 
look like:

                case 2:
                default:
                {

                        if(phpversion() >= '5.3.0')
                        {
                                error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_NOTICE ^E_DEPRECATED ^E_STRICT);
                                ini_set('display_errors', '1');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                error_reporting(E_ALL ^E_NOTICE ^E_STRICT);
                                ini_set('display_errors', '1');
                        }
                }

This disables strict messages.

Has anyone using the above fix run into any functionality issues after testing 
the change long term? Just hiding the errors make me a bit uneasy.
