Re: Crash course

Hi, Lester I know how you feel ... I didn't want to disable E_STRICT either, but as most of those errors come from the Joomla-Core or some extensions, I don't have the nerves to fix code that's not mine and the developer just says "aaa ... those E_STRICTs ... why do you even care ...". Therefore I gave up because the developer won't fix those and I don't want to support my own fork of those extensions.
