EZ-Pages Select a page ... not working

[KGL Racing]

Hello,

I have updated my website from 1.5.3 to 1.5.5

After installing the CEON URI mapping i can no longer access the "EZ-Pages Select a page"
I get a blank screen just showing the title

See picture

the log file gives me this error

[07-Nov-2018 17:01:36 Europe/Amsterdam] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':', expecting ';' or '{' in /home/********/domains/*************/includes/classes/class.CeonURIMappingAdminEZPages.php on line 78

Any ideas what to do?

Thanks

Assuming that you have installed the Ceon URI Mapping that is currently downloadable from the zen-cart.com site, then the suggestion would be to increase your PHP version to 7.0+ as much of the code was changed solely to use PHP 7.x style formatting and will cause the error that you describe in some places.
Otherwise, would suggest finding Torvista's version on github. Wondering if Ceon might put out a version that actually operates in the environment supported by the ZC version.

But your question was a good one.

To answer the now unseen question, I would expect the code to look like this at or around that line:

     * @return  string    The auto-generated URI for the EZ-Page and language.
     */
    public function autogenEZPageURIMapping($id, $name, $language_code, $language_id): string
    {
        global $db;

The red text is where PHP is starting to step into the land of other languages and allowing the identification of the type of data being returned by the function. It isn't required for Ceon URI Mapping to work (nor for the software to work in PHP 7.x... yet...) and will cause errors on PHP versions less than 7.0. Similarly, the use of [] instead of array() can be found as well as the spaceship operator and a few other new things made available in PHP 7.x.
