Different merging of parameters PHP5.3 vs. PHP5.4?

I tried to access to some category parameters in the item-view ($this->item->params) to decide to show or not to show the JComments depending on the category preferences.

All is fine in php 5.3.2 so I got the right values from the category-parameters and the additional individual template parameters (I created a template "standard" with some additional values, e.g "show_comment_count").

In php 5.4.26 I got completely different values. The [clayout] is now "blog" instead of the correct [clayout] => standard. That's why I can't get access to my own template value "show_comment_count".

Maybe the merging function behaves different?

flexicontent version 2.1.2 r1806 beta
php 5.3.2 / php 5.4.26
Joomla! 2.5.16

at first beta 1806 is very old ...
update this
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/d ... p&can=2&q=
and retest

I just updated flexicontent to r1824 and it's the same strange behavior.

You can test it in item-view:
1. assign an item to only one category.
2. add into item.php of the items template
3. You should now see the name of the template assigned to the category (and all it's parameters) in item-view

It's fine on local PHP 5.3
But on the server with PHP 5.4 I always get the template parameters of "blog" I never assigned to any category or item

Hello

does this effect occur with other parameters too ?

Hello,
yes this effect occurs to all parameters I assigened to a category and which I want to access from item-view.
Also self-generated parameters don't appear, because it seems to use parameters of the wrong template ("blog")

Hello


please send me a PM with super admin login and site URL and provide an example to reproduce/view this effect

Hello

please backup or test in a copy site:
-- i don't think it should make a difference, but the new version also adds a "debug" parameter to report heritage order: it is in:

Component parameters/
/Content Display TAB/
/Category View Section/
/Parameters: Category Info & Options/
- Inherit parameters from
- Debug parameter heritage


FLEXIcontent v2.2.0 r1882 beta

Hello

there is no parameter heritage for clayout (it is a category parameter that does not have "use global"), where is it supposed to inherit from ?

from another category ?

Thank you, with I've access to all parameters from the category the item belongs to. E.g. 'clayout' or any additional individual parameter e.g. 'show_comments_count'

For whatever reason I got the correct values with in PHP 5.3 but not in PHP 5.4

Hello

you are not supposed to get parameters like this:

...
$category = JCategories::getInstance('Content')->get($cid);
$category = ($category->getParams()->get('clayout'));

the above does not do ANY parameter heritage and if does it will not inherit from FLEXIcontent component (up to v2.1.2) or from parent categories (v2.2.0+) or from specific category (v2.1.3/v2.2.0)

instead use already calculated:

$this->params

in both category view and in item view
