+1 from me Do take note guys that with PHP7 support, Joomla 2.5 support would need to be obsolete.

+1

There has to been support for PHP7. The performance gains alone make it worth it. Not supporting it will penalize people who stay within the supported versions. 2.5 Joomla support ended some time ago according to their website. I know it is easy for me to say with my site being on 3.x, but time to move on - there are tools and processes to get people migrated to 3.x


According Joomla timeline, Joomla brings support for php7 in the next couple of weeks with the release of 3.5.

Thanks for the input on this

I agree, Jomsocial already is PHP 7 Compatible. I think Easysocial is better, because of the Easyblog and easyDiscuss bundle. And will stay with stackideas. But you always keep an eye on what jomsocial is doing.

And I plan to renew my suscription but was turned down by the fact that Easysocial Version 1.4.6 is giving me error. (I was able to make easyblog 5.0.31 and easy Discuss 3.2.9744 on php 7) and will test them to see if everything works.

I hope stackieas at least fix the crash on Easysocial, until it optimizes the code for speed.

JomSocial 4.2 Will Support PHP 7

Joomla 2.5 might be out but PHP 7 is in. It was released last year and has been billed as a lightning-fast upgrade to the popular Web development language. It really is fast. We tested JomSocial 4.2 with Joomla 3.5 Beta 2 on PHP 7 against the same setup on variants of PHP 5. The results were staggering.

In some scenarios, PHP 7 even quadrupled loading speeds. To fully benefit from PHP 7, you will need to use Joomla 3.5 and JomSocial 4.2

Image below clearly shows how JomSocial runing on PHP 7 loads almost twice as fast (267ms) compared to same installation running on PHP 5.6 (395ms).

All latest version of our products works with PHP 7 and Joomla 3.5

great always up to date :-)

Thanks
