CMSMadeSimple: Parse error in Smarty_Compiler.class.php
I recently updated one of my CMSMadeSimple websites. After the update, I encountered this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/ivan/site/lib/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php(270) : regexp code on line 5
Fatal error: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Failed evaluating code: '{php' . str_repeat(" ", substr_count('{* You can also instantiate custom behaviour on a module by module basis by looking at the $entry->module and $entry->modulerecord fields in $entry ie: {if $entry->module == ''News''}{News action=''detail'' article_id=$entry->modulerecord detailpage=''News''} *}', " ")) .'}' in /home/www/ivan/site/lib/smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 270
Search did not work, and the system stopped with the error above. I reinstalled a completely new version of CMSMadeSimple but encountered more errors. They were all related to comments in the template or the search “Result Template” area.
Remove the template comment
- Log in to the CMSMadeSimple Admin page.
- Open Extensions / Search and click “Result Template”.
- Remove the comment from {* to *} and submit the change.
Try searching the website again. This solved my problem.
The issue involves single quotes in combination with the MySQL and Apache version. I hope readers can add more information in the comments.
