Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template (v1.6.0.9)

[lepusa]

After trying to extend the length of product names in the file 'themes/default-bootstrap/product-list.tpl' by changing the truncate value, I started getting the error shown below:

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/home/content/xxxxx/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/xxxxx/html/joomla/store/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 138

 

I have replaced the modified file with an original version from my most recent backup (same PS version), but the problem remains. I have deleted all caches and rebuilt database tables, but nothing has worked.

 

What can I do to fix this? The site goes live on Monday!

Thanks in advance!

have you clear your theme cache folder in

          /cache

          /themes/default-bootstrap/cache 

have you made any changes in product-list.tpl  ???

its seems to be smarty parsing error.

Thanks for answering, yes I have deleted cache in the above mentioned folders as well as:

 

/cache/smarty/compile

/cache/smarty/cache

 

I did not delete every sub directory in /cache, just within the subdirectories as I mentioned above. I left the whole directory structure intact, just cleared out all contents except for index.php files.

 

I did initially make changes to product-list.tpl, but have since replaced the file with an unmodified file from the same PS version.

 

Any other ideas?

Hi lepusa,

 

Can you open your file themes/default-bootstrap/product-list.php and copy the whole like 138 (the one that starts with:

 

<a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button btn btn-default" ...   )

 

and past it here? Looks like there's something really strange with this line:

 

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'}

 

1) The red 'path' code shouldn't be there...

 

2) those extra red { and } WITHIN the blue { } shouldn't be there. Just use $static_token, not {$static_token} etc. when you are already within curly brackets.

 

Change the line into something like this:

 

<a class="button ajax_add_to_cart_button btn btn-default" href="{$link->getPageLink('cart', true, NULL, $smarty.capture.default, false)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" rel="nofollow" title="{l s='Add to cart'}" data-id-product="{$product.id_product|intval}" data-minimal_quantity="{if isset($product.product_attribute_minimal_quantity) && $product.product_attribute_minimal_quantity > 1}{$product.product_attribute_minimal_quantity|intval}{else}{$product.minimal_quantity|intval}{/if}">

 

 

If this is like this already, then the problem is probably some caching/recompiling problem:

 

Go to Advanced Parameters->Optimization, and (TEMPORARILY!) turn ON force compilation, and turn OFF smarty caching.

 

 

Then reload page.

 

My 2 cents,

pascal

Dude... THANK YOU!

 

You led me down the right path, and from there I discovered that not only did the red text not belong (though I did end up leaving the red curly brackets), but there was a > character that had been replaced by >, so that what should have read >getPageLink read >getPageLink instead.

 

Fixing those two issues fixed the site.

 

THANKS AGAIN!

Hi, I'm getting a similiar problem. A customer has just reported this to me, they used Safari on iPhone. 

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/modules/paypal/views/template/font/order-confirmation-mobile.tpl" on line 64 "<a href="{$link->getPageLink{'history.php',true, NULL, 'step=1&back={$back|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}')}" data-ajax="false">{ls='Back to orders' mod='paypal'}</a>" - Unexpected "htmlall", expected one of: "","",")"<-- thrown in /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 64

I've looked at smart_internal_templatecompilerbase.php line 64 and it contains:

    /**
     * merged templates
     *
     * @var array
     */
    public $merged_templates = array();

I've also checked order-confirmation-mobile.tpl line 64 and it contains:

<li data-theme="b" data-icon="back">
				<a href="{$link->getPageLink('history.php', true, NULL, 'step=1&back={$back|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}')}" data-ajax="false">{l s='Back to orders' mod='paypal'}</a>

			</li>

I did edit a few of the .tpl files a few weeks back to remove the date of birth field on the order form, my post for that: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/542852-how-to-remove-date-of-birth-from-registration/?do=findComment&comment=2366642

 

Any help would be great, Thanks

 

I'm also using the default template with 1.6.1.6

you gave screenshot. thanks for that.

Make sure following thing in that file

 - Each {if} condition brackets

 - Each {foreach} loop brackets start and end loop

 

after changes, do following:

have you clear your theme cache folder in

          /cache

          /themes/ofajio/cache
