No more compatibility with PHP 5.4

[Oktopuce]

Hi,

The last version of the extension is no more compatible with PHP 5.4 because of this line :

$this->configurationManager = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(ConfigurationManager::class);

in 5.4 you can use this :

$this->configurationManager = GeneralUtility::makeInstance(\get_class(new \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Configuration\ConfigurationManager));

Reagrds,
Florian

Hi @Oktopuce

Thanks for reporting that issue! We will fix it soon and release a new version!

Hi,

There is another compatibility problem the extension cannot be installed on Typo3 6.2.0 because there is a problem with the composer :

Oops, an error occurred!
The package "pdfviewhelpers" depends on "typo3/cms" which is not present in the system.

I found this solution for composer : change the package name from typo3/cms to typo3/cms-cms.

[maechler]

@Oktopuce That seems a little strange to me, especially since there is no composer package typo3/cms-cms. The official TYPO3 composer package name is typo3/cms found here.

When exactly does that error occur?

[Oktopuce]

This occurred when I tried to install the version 1.2.0 on a typo3 6.2.0.
I found that solution on the web and didn't look further but may be it's "typo3/cms-core" instead of "typo3/cms-cms".

Look here : https://review.typo3.org/#/c/35501/2/composer.json

As far as I can see is typo3/cms-core now part of the package typo3/cms. See https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/master/composer.json#L92
There is also no package typo3/cms-core on packagist.org.

I also tested installing the extension on TYPO3 6.2.16 using the extension manager, that worked for me.

Do you install it with the extension manager or via composer? What commands do you use? Have you tested it with a fresh installation of TYPO3 6.2? What could I do to reproduce the issue?

[Oktopuce]

I installed it via the Extension Manager. I didn't test it on a fresh installation.

[maechler]

Hmm..I could not reproduce that issue. Although I can not yet fully grasp the problem or the way TYPO3 handles the composer.json files, I think the dependency should be typo3/cms-core as you suggested.
See also https://wiki.typo3.org/Composer or https://composer.typo3.org/.

I fixed these issues and created a new release. Soon the extension will be available in TER.
I will close here, thanks for reporting the issues!
