I just updated to 2.7 and I was in the backend.. When I clicked on the name on one of the channel fields I got:

Fatal error: Declaration of Safecracker_file_ft::display_field() must be compatible with that of EE_Fieldtype::display_field() in /home/site/public_html/dev/system/expressionengine/third_party/safecracker_file/ft.safecracker_file.php on line 5

This happens when I click any of the channel fields.. whats happening here?

In EE 2.7, each class extending EE_Fieldtype is required to implement a display_field() function.

So either you implement that function with no actual implementation if you just want the error to go away

public function display_field($data)
{
 // NOTE: Placeholder
}

Alternatively, just uninstall/remove the safecracker_file addon

hi
two questions on this:

- where should the function be added?
- the safecracker_file addon no longer exists after the update, so what to do?

The add-ons field-type menu option gives the same error.

Thanks
Fred

removing the safecracker_file worked! thanks!

+1 How would this get implemented?

Its safe to remove the file
