 Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 3:26 pm Post subject: Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error |
 |
|
I'm new here and right off the bat I have a request for the mods - a little more length in the Subject field please! haha
I wanted the Subject to include the word "template":
Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template
I'm working on a Prestashop install, and in doing so I had tweaked a few lines of a file called "product-list.tpl" in order to show more characters in the Name field of the cart (sound familiar? haha)
The only change was to a couple numbers associated with a truncate function, such as changing the number 45 to 80 on line 105:
| Code: | | {$product.name|truncate:45:'...'|escape:'html':'UTF-8'} |
According to people in the PS forums that should have worked, but it didn't. Here is the site URL:
http://lep4u.com/joomla/store/
After making the above change, and even after undoing it, I am now getting just a blank white page with the following error:
| Code: | | Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/home/content/75/9476575/html/joomla/store/themes/default-bootstrap/product-list.tpl" on line 138 "<a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button btn btn-default" href="../../prestashop/themes/default-bootstrap/{$link->getPageLink('cart',false, NULL, "add=1&id_product={$product.id_product|intval}&token={$static_token}", false)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" rel="nofollow" title="{l s='Add to cart'}" data-id-product="{$product.id_product|intval}">" - Unexpected "&" <-- thrown in /home/content/75/9476575/html/joomla/store/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 138 |
Interstingly, the changes I made had nothing to do with line 138, and I have since replaced the file with an unmodified version from the most recent working backup, but I'm still getting the error.
By the way I have deleted all caches many times, and I have also tried repairing and optimizing the PS tables in phpMyAdmin, which gives me the message "The storage engine for the table doesn't support repair". Hmmm
Anyhow, here is line 138:
| Code: | | <a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button btn btn-default" href="../../prestashop/themes/default-bootstrap/{$link->getPageLink('cart',false, NULL, "add=1&id_product={$product.id_product|intval}&token={$static_token}", false)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" rel="nofollow" title="{l s='Add to cart'}" data-id-product="{$product.id_product|intval}"> |
I've done a lot of reading and trying various things, but so far the only thing that has (kind of) worked has been replacing the "store" directory with a virgin one from PS, but that wipes out all of the customization we've done. The current install has our active store directory which is throwing the above error.
Sorry to be so long winded! Hopefully someone will have an easy answer for me. We need to have this up and running today if possible.
Thanks in advance for any advice! |

| Sounds like you've changed template encoding, and it is no longer UTF-8. |

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering about this. I edited the files with TextWrangler on a Mac, and there are options for UTF-8 without BOM, which from what I understand is correct.
I will investigate further, any other tips much appreciated. |

| Other tip is to start debugging your application. |

If you mean debugging Prestashop, I have debugging turned on which is how I got the above mentioned error.
What I don't understand is how the template files are no longer UTF-8, even the unmodified ones I have restored from previously working backups. Could the encoding have been changed during FTP transfer? I have used both Transmit and Dreamweaver for FTP on the Mac. |

I did mean general purpose debugging.
You know, step by step execution, variable monitoring?
Also stop using FTP already. Forget its existence and never tell anyone you've used it. You have SSH, use it. |

Your template source got escaped.
Eaxample
| Code: | | {$link->getPageLink(...) |
became
| Code: | | {$link->getPageLink(...) |

I saw that, and putting it back in the box it escaped from helped to fix the issue, whatever that means, lol. In other words, I replaced > with > in the above.
The other issue was that a direct path got somehow injected into the file:
| Code: | | ../../prestashop/themes/default-bootstrap/ |
Removing the above was the second piece of the puzzle.
How does a template file get escaped anyhow? |
