Xoops Modules Troubleshot - Questions about compatibility with PHP 5.0.5

We are seeing many problens with some XOOPS Modules. Some pages come blank and anybody knows why.
After php upgrade to version 5.0.5, the most common error is: Quote:
fatal-error-only-variables-can-be-passed-by-reference


The problem can be see in this example:
Quote:

function getAnArray() {
$myArray = array ( 1, 2, 3 );
return $myArray;
}
echo( array_pop( getAnArray() ) );


Where in the past this would have resulted in the output ‘3′, now you get this:

Quote:
Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference


It is happening because the most of modules don´t be rewritten to works with new php restrictions.
The problem is better reported in this link:
http://www.the-stickman.com/web-development/php/php-505-fatal-error-only-variables-can-be-passed-by-reference/

We need to work for rewrite modules to works corretly. Someone have any idea to mobilize XOOPS Developers?

Newbb2 has been superceeded by CBB 1.15 (or 2.3 with XOOPS 2.2.3) - I'm not sure if this works with Php5 - but if you have a test site, you may want to try this out...

Strange, I'm using this Php version.
Are you sure that you use the latest News version ?

Well, i´ve solved the problem with myalbum. The index page have be modified to pass value only (don´t pass by reference)
I´ll comunicate the myalbum developer website.
I´ve installed the cbb and it works corretly!
The piCal module have problems when i go create new category (piCal/admin/categories.php)
But the news module have problems when i will create blocks (latest news) in the index page of Xoops.
The php debug show:

I´ve found another problem with cbb, to see topics, cbb show:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 14109 bytes) in /home/users/r/rebenta/www/rebenta.com.br/class/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 1235

I´ve fix the problem to see topics of cbb. In the page to view topics, you must change the function assign_by_ref by assign:

Before change:
Quote:
$xoopsTpl->assign_by_ref('viewmode_options', $viewmode_options);
unset($viewmode_options);


Final:
Quote:
$xoopsTpl->assign('viewmode_options', $viewmode_options);
unset($viewmode_options);


In the viewtopic.php page.

But to see cbb blocks and news blocks, the page come blank. I´ve search the block page and i didn´t find any error at first look...
