Petergeier: onPrepareContent() example problem: "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated for second parameter

onPrepareContent() example problem: "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated for second parameter

New page

== Problem with PHP 5.3 when using this example: ==
PHP Warning: Parameter 2 to plgContent<MostPlugins>::onPrepareContent() expected to be a reference,
value given in <whichever plugin cause that> on line <xx>

As of PHP 5.3.0, you will get a warning saying that "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated when you use & in foo(&$a);
See http://php.net/manual/en/language.references.pass.php

The Example.php in content shows (now wrongly and deprecated in PHP 5.3):

''function onPrepareContent( &$article, '''&'''$params, $limitstart )''

but it SHOULD be:

''function onPrepareContent( &$article, $params, $limitstart )'

'''FIX:'''
-> Going into JOOMLA root and do a global replace through all PHP files will fix this issue.

Furthermore (somewhat related) if you getting the following error:
Warning: Missing argument 3 for plgContent<PluginName>::onPrepareContent()
in JOOMLA\plugins\content\<PluginName.php> on line xx''

you may also want to change in file JOOMLA\modules\mod_customcontent\helper.php:
line 36, change the array to: array (& $item, & $params, $limitstart ))

Ref: joomlacode.org/gf/project/ianstools/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=10578

Not sure why this did not make the 1.5.15 ... 1.5.18 releases.
