Php 8.0 support

[JimTR]

is there any plans to do a php 8 conversion ? I have done some of the simple things like converting '{0}' to '[0]' but I am a bit stuck on admin/modules/config/threadfields.php when it creates a new record .. can not find out where the field names are read in PHP 8 gives an error like Warning [2] Undefined array key "hidefield" - Line: 269 - File: admin/modules/config/threadfields.php PHP 8.0.8 (Linux)

Looks like PHP 8 is quite brutal to this code base. Actually I'd imagine it was quite the thing for MyBB itself as many of the coding practices that was used there now generate warnings.

I've fixed a bunch of issues, but there's undoubtedly more.

So far everything appears to work but to date I have not tried everything, I'll post back any errors that show up later

hey, seems like the 'mark threads as read' (as logged in user) function doesn't work any more in php8 if x thread is installed.

Thanks, made a fix, see if that works.

I've got a problem with the forum status icons on index, indicating that I have unread posts without actually having unread posts. Marking a forum or all forums as read doesn't change anything. I figured it's related to your (awesome) plugin.

I fixed this by using some variables the way it's usually done in mybb: global $cache, $db, $templates instead of using $GLOBALS['cache'] and so on. I just did this in one particular function (inc/xthreads/xt_forumdhooks.php -> xthreads_global_forumbits_tpl()) since I didn't notice any other issues. But to make this work I also had to fix some minor php 8 warnings from mybb core files, which probably will be fixed with the next update.

Idk but it works. Maybe this helps for further fixes.

I'm guessing it's an issue with https://github.com/Sama34/Additional-Settings-For-Custom-Profile-Fields
