Best regards.

I had that error no matter what I did. Even when installing a new version from scratch. Downgrade your php version. I had it at 7.1 when I had the error. Now I set in the cpanel to version 7.0 and it is gone.

So whenever you get this error - downgrade PHP version

I had the same issue, downgrading to PHP 7.0 fixed it as well

I'm having the same issue! Also on a clean install, on a local server.

But surely, downgrading the PHP version could not be the final and best solution?!

Came across it a few days ago as well after updating to php7.1
I did a quick fix:
if(!isset($expire)){$expire=86400;}
$this->adaptor = new $class($expire);

Didn't check what expire means in context or what called it, just added a default value of 1 day as it sounded like a cache expiration time.

Will defenitly give that a try!

Thanks!!

Regarding this error I found almost same code in "system\library\cache.php" on line 5
So it looks like constructor is missing one parameter, if I am right You need to add second parameter "$expire = 3600" in "system\library\template.php" file on line 5

Thanks for the fix. Both expiration edits worked like a charm

for some reason $expire is undefined therefore it will throw this error.
My fix is
<?php
class Template {
private $adaptor;

public function __construct($adaptor) {
$class = 'Template\\' . $adaptor;

if (class_exists($class)) {

// add $expire="" to clear "undefined variable warning" -reason
$expire="";
$this->adaptor = new $class($expire);
} else {
throw new \Exception('Error: Could not load template adaptor ' . $adaptor . '!');
}
}

public function set($key, $value) {
$this->adaptor->set($key, $value);
}

public function render($template) {
return $this->adaptor->render($template);
}
}

I have created an ocmod plugin for this fix. You can download it for free from https://www.huntbee.com/fix-for-undefin ... e-opencart

Code: Select all
