Fatel Error Help Please

[sweetshi]

Help I received this error, could someone lookup in their public_html under the template_select.php and tell me how this line should read?

I would greatly appreciate this. Thank YOU.

***Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/sweetshi/public_html/admin/template_select.php on line 30


Here is the web page

***/home/sweetshi/public_html/admin/template_select.php


Here is the error location. it is on the second line beginning with $
************

 
        require(DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES . $file . '/template_info.php';
       

 $template_info[$file] = 'array'('name' => $template_name,
                                      

'version' => $template_version,
                                      'author' => $template_author,
                                      'description' => $template_description,
                                      'screenshot' => $template_screenshot);
      }
    }
  }

That section should look like

  while ($file = $dir->read()) {
    if (is_dir(DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES . $file) && strtoupper($file) != 'CVS' && $file != 'template_default') {
      if (file_exists(DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES . $file . '/template_info.php')) {
        require(DIR_FS_CATALOG_TEMPLATES . $file . '/template_info.php');
        $template_info[$file] = array('name' => $template_name,
                                      'version' => $template_version,
                                      'author' => $template_author,
                                      'description' => $template_description,
                                      'screenshot' => $template_screenshot);
      }
    }
  } 

The error described sounds like one of the opening { is missing, but that is unlikely. What do you have above your posted lines?

I repaired the thread then i received this reply when i tried to get into Zen Cart tool Template Selection


Warning: require(/home/sweetshi/public_html/includes/templates/apple/template_info.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Success in /home/sweetshi/public_html/admin/template_select.php on line 29

That is decidedly strange. Somehow the opening { was deleted from both of the if statements - compare them, they should be like

if (... ) {

[gjh42]

Your copy of the file may have been corrupted - if you didn't edit it to remove the {s, I doubt anyone else did.

How did you install Zen Cart? Do you have an FTP program to transfer files to your pc for editing? What did you use to edit files?

[sweetshi]

No I receive this error message

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/sweetshi/public_html/admin/template_select.php on line 28

Here is what it looks like now. I have tried 5 different ideas and still I am not getting through. Thank you for your efforts. I appreciate your help.

I am using cPanel File manager provided by Hostmonster

Oh i am sure it was my doing. I was trying to set up a custom template.

[sweetshi]

I am still very stuck. Any more ideas????


THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Please try to help. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/images/smilies/frusty.gif

The file manager is fine for looking at your files, creating new folders and moving files, but you should not use it for editing files.

What you need is an FTP program (Filezilla is a good one) and a file editing program (Notepad++ is good, and CrimsonEditor is supposed to be good) installed on your pc. All these can be downloaded free from Sourceforge.net and are easy to install and use. You need to find out from your host the FTP port, username and password for FTP access to your site.

You will FTP a file to your pc, edit it and FTP it back to the server.

And I still don't get what happened to that file - there is no reason you should ever have needed to touch it.
