Deprecated errors in forms coming from html_output.php

[cut-n-paste]

It seems like just about every function in html_output.php purposely triggers errors

Code: Select all

trigger_error('The tep_draw_stars function has been deprecated.', E_USER_DEPRECATED);

What is the purpose of this line? Should I be doing something about this?

These are correct. You should be checking your error_logs to see if any are written to it. If yes, it means code in your site (usually addons) is using outdated functions. Get the code updated to use the more modern functions.

In starting the update process on my store I have had hundreds of these errors and with a bit of help from others on this forum I have removed every one of them. I think its caused where core code has been updated to remove all these old outdated functions. If in doubt of how to remove them, ask on these forums.

You were right, the addMaths hook is doing tep_draw_input_field(). What is the new way to do this?

There may be more to it than just that one bit of code so paste the full line of code so others can see the rest of it. In some instances the order of how things happen need to change too.

This is an addon. Help for addons must be posted where you downloaded the addon.
That would be here:
