[remo427]

Made a change to \includes\templates\avignon\common\tpl_header.php

broke the page completely... just shows a blank page.

restored with backup file... no change.

Here is the code:

<?php

Thank you for the reply...

I'm not experienced enough to know where there is an issue by looking at it. I read the information on the link you provided, I looked at the log files, there was an error with an un-needed ; on line 72. I removed it... no change in status.

I take it you still have the template on your home computer?

Re-load the original tpl_header.php and start again

[DrByte]

You could post the content of the most recent myDebug-xxxxxxx.log files here where we can help interpret their meaning for you.

[remo427]

To SchoolBoy - I copied the file in, no change.

To DrByte - Here is the log info:

EARLIER:
[21-Jun-2012 21:29:54] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/remo427/gff_http/mystore/includes/templates/avignon/common/tpl_header.php on line 48

MOST RECENT:
[21-Jun-2012 22:15:40] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/mystore/includes/templates/avignon/common/tpl_header.php on line 72

Site it still down hard...

Here is what I get when I view the source of the page:

Earlier in the day, this had a lot more information.

[jc8125]

on line 72 of your tpl_header.php file you have:

<div class="headerTitle"><h1 class="shadow"><?php echo ; ?></h1><h1><?php echo ; ?></h1></div>

two empty echo's with a semi-colon after.. not sure what you were trying to do, but you either need to get rid of the empty echo(s), or put content after the echo (whatever you were trying to put in there)..

[DrByte]

The first of those error messages suggest that you've deleted PHP code that contained braces, and now the braces are mismatched and thus the logic is broken.
jd8125 has responded on the other one.

I'd start by going back to the version of those files from before you started making changes.

[remo427]

I copied in an old file from a while back. That got the page to dispay again, but I have lost the Home and Login links in the header.

Here is the code from the page:
<!--bof-header logo and navigation display-->


<div id="headerWrapper">
<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
<ul class="back">
<li></a></li>

<li><a href="../../../../<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"></a></li>
<li><a href="../../../../<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"></a></li>

<li><a href="../../../../<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"></a></li>



<li><a href="../../../../<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"></a></li>
<li><a href="../../../../<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"></a></li>

</ul>
</div>
<div id="navMainSearch"></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
<!--eof-navigation display-->

<!--bof-branding display-->
<div id="logoWrapper">
<address style="float:right; text-align:right; margin: 105px 40px 1px 1px; font-weight:bold;"></address>
<div class="headerTitle"><h1 class="shadow"></h1><h1></h1></div>


<div id="taglineWrapper">

<div id="tagline"></div>



</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<!--bof-header ezpage links-->



<!--eof-header ezpage links-->
<!--eof-branding display-->

<!--eof-header logo and navigation display-->


<div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"></div>

</div>


</div>

Seems to be a lot missing, not sure what to put. Help.

[jc8125]

as DrByte suggested, I would get a clean copy of the original file from a fresh set of files.. drop that file in, and things should look normal again. then you can attempt to make whatever modifications you were doing.
