I have this appearing at the top of my blog. It wasn’t there when I initially got it working, but I cannot determine what it is coming from. It is not in the templets.

It’s a comment in some code, maybe PHP or JavaScript. Have you added any custom scripts, plugins, modules etc since you initially got your blog working?

Not that I can think of. Just EE formatting of pages. I do have FLV player and File installed, but that was done before the problem surfaced.

If you create just a simple template with an FLV player code, do you see it?

Do you have PHP enabled for your templates?  If you enable PHP does it go away?

No problem.  PHP in Templates.

There are no dumb questions you can ask.

Well, maybe if you asked what peanut butter was made out of. That could be considered a dumb question. Anything related to EE isn’t dumb though.  wink

An enlightening question might be “What ELSE is peanut butter made of?”.

I’ll look at that when I get home, (the PHP not the PB). I have a glorious state job and can’t even check personal email here… let alone client work. Gotta go, big brother is watching wink

Following is the template that I made to test the problem. I made sure that PHP was enabled and stripped the template down to the essentials.

{assign_variable:my_weblog="video"}
{assign_variable:my_template_group="site"}

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

</script>

</head>

<body>

{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" limit="1" weblog="{my_weblog}" username="CURRENT_USER"}
    
{exp:flvplugin playerpath="http://www.adamsmithgolf.com/flash_flv_player/flvplayer.swf" playernumber="1" file="{video_file}" width="640" height="480" showdigits="true"}

{video_comments}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

</body>
</html>

Here is the source of the rendered page… at least the beginning of it.

}
// END        
        
        
    }
?>>


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

One thing to note is that on the page where I originally noted the problems, the links on that page that go to the comments page, just take you to a page that looks like the page you came from.

Wow, odd indeed.

Does this happen if you remove the code for the flv plugin?  Can you give me the most minimal template that you can create that will still generate that error?

The following template does not produce the strange bit of cote:

{assign_variable:my_weblog="video"}
{assign_variable:my_template_group="site"}

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

</script>


</head>

<body>


{exp:weblog:entries orderby="date" limit="1" weblog="{my_weblog}" username="CURRENT_USER"}
    
{video_file}


    
{video_comments}
{/exp:weblog:entries}


</body>
</html>

So would it be fair then to say that pages without the flv plugin don’t have this problem?  That would make it a pretty likely candidate.  Try re-installing/upgrading it, and if you’re confident that it is that plugin let me know, and I’ll be happy to move this post into the plugin forums to get more eyeballs on it for you.

Go ahead and move it over. I’m pretty sure that is the problem. Seems pretty conclusive. Hopefully someone there can get my flv plugin install sorted.

My pleasure.  Good luck and do report back if you get it put away.

Could that unpaired closing script tag

</script>

be effecting anything since there’s no opening tag?

That’s just a result of forum security stripping javascript out of his post.  The problem most definitely has the earmarks of a PHP problem, perhaps a corrupted or truncated file.

There actually seems to be a problem using the File Extension with the FLV plugin. I will be problem solving it later on.
