Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/default/index.template.php on line 167

And here's line 166

and 167:

It's hating the bit underlined, it's SMF, can't tell you a lot more really, i'm stumped! if you want to see look here I am really pulling my hair out at this can anyone think what i've done wrong? They both look the same and it's line 167 it doesn't like.
Any help is well apreciated!

I believe this explains everything. In your onmouseover and onmouseout events, you have single quotes in them. Escape them, then refresh the page.

When you say escape what do you mean? do you mean i replace them with a backslash? place a blackslash behind it, or that i simply get rid of them?

[sonesay]

lets say you want to use a qoute in a string

$string = "a double looks like this " ";

the above statement will cause an error because it will expect the double qoute at 'this "' to be the closing end. you need to escape it so it ignores it as a closing end and treats it as a double qoute.

$string = "a double looks like this \" ";

now string will be

a double looks like this "

I'm not sure if the PHP file you attached was the original or modified one, but i'm attaching a modified one with escaped single quotes.

If it doesn't work now, then i don't know what's wrong with it. But i recommend editing your files in an editor that supports syntax highlighting. I'd recommend Geany.

[karlosantana]

okie dokie i will give this a try right now. *uploads file* That geany program is awesome!
Thankyou so much true fusion, you're better than the person who designed the templating system for smf in the first place! Your right though i did put the wrong template up *strangles himself* Hopefully geany should help me though, I will be building my credits up and giving them to you soon, hold in there! I have no idea what happened to the template file i made, its gone who knows where? Thankyou for putting all that work in though! it is incredibly appreciated! I'm gonna try out this tutorial and see what happens although i have done it before with no success, it's worth a try!

I also love some of the things in you sigy

I'm not interested in receiving credits. Thanks for the offer, but i didn't help 'cause there was a credit reward. And good luck with that tutorial.
