Hi There!

I’m running 1.6.8

Tried to add new categories today, and get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /www/sitename/public_html/system/core/core.functions.php(634) : eval()‘d code on line 105

When you go to my categories page and click on the link for new categories (anything above C155 ) will give you the error message. 

E.g., http://focusfusion.org/index.php/site/category/C155 will open, but http://focusfusion.org/index.php/site/category/C156 and http://focusfusion.org/index.php/site/category/C157 on up won’t.

I tried re-uploading the core.functions.php file and cleared my caches, but this didn’t work.

Help!

Thanks.

Can you please try upgrade to EE 1.7? This would help us to rule out file corruption issues and make sure we’re all on the same page in terms of code.

OK, I’ve updated.  The problem persists. 

The error message is:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDIF in /www/sitename/public_html/system/core/core.functions.php(663) : eval()‘d code on line 106

Also, I had gone in to change some previous categories as a hack since I couldn’t get new categories.  The changes took, except this one, which is category #62. 

E.g., it’s not just new categories added, but now the corruption has spread backwards to modified categories.

Not all of them though.

Seems a bit random.

Note that the category descriptions for the new categories show up in the “descriptions” page. 

Likewise I can select the new categories for weblog posts, and the name of the category appears on my posts (I’ve set it up so you can see the categories for each post). 

So, it’s just when clicking them to go to the /category page that everything falls apart.

Help!

I am quietly panicking.

focusfusion,

What is in that site template? Lets start by examining that. Do you have a lot of conditionals? Any PHP?

You’re a genius!

A search turned up this improper conditional:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{my_weblog}" orderby="date" sort="desc" limit="10" disable="member_data|trackbacks"}
<div class="entry">
<hr >
{if segment_3 !="faqs"}

<h2 ><a href="http://{title_permalink=site/article}">{title}</a></h2><span class="postmeta">{entry_date format='%M'} {entry_date format='%d'}, {entry_date format='%Y'}</span>


{if segment_3 == "faqs"}

<span class="q">Q:</span> {title}

{if:else}
{summary}
{/if}


</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}

Which I fixed and now my wayward new categories appear.

What surprises me is that this didn’t cause problems before.  It’s been the page for a year now, 180,000+ visits.  It held together through all of that.  I wonder what tipped it.

In any case, it ain’t broke no more, so I shall cease wondering.

Thanks again!

Glad to see John Henry was able to help. Please post again as needed.
