Categories: Fatal error: Smarty error: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $node.link|escape:html:''UTF-

[cdaniel.marques]

Hello everyone.

 

I'd re-categorizing some products and add some discounts, in the Prestashop Adminshop.

When I went to the homepage to test the re-categorizing, i received the following error:

'Categories'

 

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $node.link|escape:html:''UTF-8'' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446) in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/tools/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

 

Category-tree-branch.tpl line 2

 

<a href="{$node.link|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

 

Smarty.class.php line 1095

trigger_error("Smarty error: $error_msg", $error_type);

 

I'm currently using Version 1.3.6.0

 

Any ideia?

Thanks for the help.

Hi Daniel,

Can you give us the URL to your shop?

 

Did you change any source code as well, or only in-program (back office) changes?

Can you give an example of a product you changed?

Hello Pascal,

Here's the URL: http://www.rpfkayaks.com/onlineshop/

 

No code change, only back office changes.

Made changes on the products category like, change a product that belonged to the category Kayaksand to RPF SEA.

Aplied a product discount to AEE SD19.

Hi Daniel,

Before we try to debug things, can you try to 'reset' the module in Back office (Not familiar with 1.3.x, but assume that existed already by then). Otherwise de-install and reinstall the module and see if that helps.

 

thx,

pascal

[PascalVG]

Can you try to change this in the file:

Category-tree-branch.tpl line 2

 

 

<a href="{$node.link|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

[cdaniel.marques]

Hello Pascal,

 

Tried change the Category-tree-branch.tpl line 2, like so:

<a href="{$node.link}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

but received the same error.

 

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in /home/rpfkayak/public_html/onlineshop/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $node.desc|escape:html:''UTF-8'' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446) in /home/rpfkayak/public_html/onlineshop/tools/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

 

I'm gona also try reset the module.

I've noticed this right now.

I'm also receiving the following errors on PrestaShop BackOffice Modules:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/classes/Module.php(323) : eval()'d code on line 3

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/classes/Module.php(323) : eval()'d code on line 10

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/classes/Module.php(323) : eval()'d code on line 5

 

Will post the lines in a minute.

 

Also receiving in the same error in Payment Tab.

[cdaniel.marques]

I think, since I receive the error's, i can't reset the the module, neither remove.

All the modules all listed in a red box, none of them have a button to remove, disable ou reset.

 

It's any way to manually disable the module?

[PascalVG]

Hello Pascal,

 

Tried change the Category-tree-branch.tpl line 2, like so:

<a href="{$node.link}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

Hi Daniel,

Actually it DID change the message error. The message is now not about the first href string, but the next one with the escape stuff in it.

 

So let's try this:

<a href="{$node.link|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" {if $node.id == $currentCategoryId}class="selected"{/if} title="{$node.desc|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$node.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a>

 

And see if that brings us further.

 

Please post the source lines that are mentioned in the error lines of your post #7. Thanks.

[cdaniel.marques]

Hello Pascal,

 

Did the change that you suggested, i'm getting a diferent error in FrontPage:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in /home/rpfkayak/public_html/onlineshop/modules/blockmanufacturer/blockmanufacturer.tpl line 10]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: 'about''' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1550) in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/tools/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

 

The sources lines #3, 5 and 10, of module.php, on post #7, are:

3 - /**
 * Module class, Module.php
5 - * Modules management
 * @category classes

Wich doesn't look right, because are comments, but I cant find the "eval()'d code" procedure.

They probably start counting after the comment (maybe even first real code line =1)

[cdaniel.marques]

It's any way to manually disable the module, editing directly the PHP?

[cdaniel.marques]

I also have a Database Backup made in PrestaShop BackOffice about 1 week before the changes ware made and the error ocurred. Maybe is worth the try.

How can I restore the database backup?

Edited August 26, 2013 by cdaniel.marques (see edit history)

[vekia]

the questions is: how you created a backup?

[cdaniel.marques]

Adminshop -> Tools -> DB Backup -> All Tabels Backup.

Is saved as xxxxxx.sql.gz

[cdaniel.marques]

I have access to phpMyAdmin through cPanel X.

Import the Database here?

[PascalVG]

Hi Daniel, there are 10 steps they mention to restore a backup in the Advanced Parameters-DBBackup screen (Yellow Box on the right) Read through them and see if you can work it out.

 

Make sure you make a NEW backup BEFORE you do the restore, so you have a current backup with current states if anything goes wrong restoring the old one. Just in case...

 

My 2 cents,

Hello Pascal (or everyone who can help me, please)

 

I'm also involved in this shop. To start i must say that i have never had any experience with PrestaShop nor with any other online shop platform. But i'm a programmer so i've tryed to, somehow, figure things out.

 

Here's what i've learned/discovered:

 

All TPL files seems to have sintaxe errors. Why do i say this? Because, when looking to the PrestaShop reported errors (let's say, for instance, the one that Daniel firstly reported - Fatal error: Smarty error: [in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $node.link|escape:html:''UTF-8'' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 446) in/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/tools/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095)

 

I tryed to undestand it and somehow fix it.

 

Let me give you an example: in homefeatured.tpl theres something like: <h4>{l s='Featured products' mod='homefeatured'}</h4>

In this case i simply changed the apostrophe (') for a quote (") like this: <h4>{l s="Featured products" mod="homefeatured"}</h4>

 

Also in the same files i have found: title="{$product.name|truncate:32:'...'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}"

So i just add spaces between the pipe and the surrouding text, like: title="{$product.name | truncate:32:'...' | escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}"

 

And, actually i've managed to make things work wherever i applyed this changes. But there are thousands of TPL files... 

 

So i've made a little program that parses through all the TPL files and aplys this kind of changes. And it worked! Well, almost...

 

With this changes i started to get the most of the shop. But then i got some PHP sintaxe errors. And wherever i corrected them i've got it to work. But there are to many PHP files and the kind of sintaxe errors are impossible to fix with te same kind of approach i've used with the TPL files.

 

My conclusion: there seems to be a bunch of sintaxe errors across the TPL and PHP files.

My guess: could this be caused by some kind of interrupted upgrading or for some script?

 

My questions:

a) Could this really be like i've said, or am i just dreaming and i really don't know what i'm saying? 

Is there any way to sort this out?

 

Any contribution is welcome. I'm breaking my head with this for days!!! I really need help, please.

Thank you very much.

[PascalVG]

Hi hjno,

Wat you describe seems like there MUST be something else wrong. I do not believe that PrestaShop has errors in all tpl files, as 1000's of people use it without making changes.

 

I think we have to check the php.ini settings, and as I read your post, there might be especially a problem with quotes.

 

There is a setting in php that changes the way php looks at quotes:

It is necessary to disable Magic Quotes
http://www.php.net/m...s.disabling.php

 

If access to the server configuration is unavailable, use of .htaccess is also an option. For example:
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

 

Maybe try to have a look at this. Not sure if this is the cause, but give it a try...

 

My 2 cents,

pascal

[PascalVG]

hjno,

 

If I look at the very first error message posted by Daniel:

Fatal error: Smarty error: [in /home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/onlineshop/modules/blockcategories/category-tree-branch.tpl line 2]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: $node.link|escape:html:''UTF-8'' 

 

You see that it complains about '', not '   (N.B. notice that the '' are two single 's ( ' + ' ), not one singe " (double-quote)

So something is translated there from ' to ''

Might very well have to do with these magic quotes...

[hjnobrega]

You are very quick! Thank you very much. 

 

Of course it with be very odd if PrestaShop could do such kind of errors. I thought of something abou configuration, but, as i told you, my PrestaShop knowledge is very little.

 

I will try that and will let you know the result.

 

Thanks.

[hjnobrega]

Hello again.

 

I've tryed to include php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off in the .htaccess file but i got an internal error when entering the store (online).

 

I've found two .htaccess files; one in "public_html" folder and the other in my shop root. Wish one? (i've tryed both and got the same error).

 

I simply wrote php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off at end of the file.

 

What am i doing wrong? 

 

As to the other sugestionyou've made (php.ini), i don't know how to get to the PHP.ini settings.

 

As i told you, i'm completly rookie on PrestaShop.

 

Thanks.

[PascalVG]

Hmm, may be either case sensitive (I wrote Off in previous mail)

 

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off

 

or the php is not run as a module :-(

 

php.ini is maybe not available for you, as you may use a shared host. (Not all open this file up then)

I believe there's another way, but please first try above modification

 

I'll have a look tomorrow for other solutions. It's 3.15 am here...

 

 

Maybe you can have a  look here yourself in the meantime:

goodnight,
