[CMSMS 0.13] Strange Smarty error

Hello,

A while ago I started with CMSMS and it worked quite well actually, I went on holiday and when I came back there was a strange error.

I'm using CMS Made Simple 0.13 "Canary", and CMSMS always worked. The smarty error is as following:
Fatal error: Smarty error: [in template:18 line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'title' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580) in /var/www/html/lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

When I look at the scripts I don't see what is wrong, so I uploaded the smarty directory again, no effect still the same error.
Anyone here who know's what the problem is and how it can be solved?

Thanks in advance!

check the plugins/function.title.php file, it needs to exist and have the proper permissions.

Hello, the file exists and the directory  /plugins/ is also chmodded 777.

I just removed the {title} tag from my template, again the same error but now it was "unrecognized tag 'metadata'".

Somebody? I need to have my site back up and running in 4 days..  :-\

I did't change anything, my webhosting company only installed a PHP module after I had CMSMS up and running, in order to make another PHP-script work. Is it possible that the PHP module causes this problem?

Clear the cache!

If that doesn't work then try uploading the whole CMS again amd run the install/upgrade.php file.

Please paste your config.php file here (without username and passwords!) and we can take a look at it. It could be a problem with $config['roo_path']

Clear cache didn't work, I asked my webhost if they could find out what went wrong, they have tried a lot, but couldn't find it either. (good dutch webhosting company  ;D)

The last thing I want to do is to completely reinstall the CMS, because I had to change a lot of things. My webhost uses a client control panel that also uses the /admin directory.

Hmm.. Config looks ok. I would try upgrading to the latest CMSMS 1.0 beta and see if that solve the problem.

Before upgrading my very good webhost is trying to put a backup online. I tried to remember when CMSMS worked right, so they try to find a matching backup.
Hopefully that solves te problem!
(today is the day the website should be online  :-\)

Ah oke, ehrm.. I removed al my internal links. The checkbox "generate taglink" is checked, and can't be unchecked when you don't make a internal link.

The error isn't solved -> http://www.prmedia.nl/indexcms.php

I'm having a similar error, Bumble.  My error seems to be related to cms_selflink.  If I use standard html links (), my links are fine, but if I use cms_selflink, I get an error like
Fatal error: Smarty error: [in content:content_en line 2]: syntax error: invalid attribute name: 'Information"' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 1533) in E:\html\domains\katahdindesigns.com\wwwroot\cnh\cms\lib\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095.

v.13

I also tried clearing the cache, running the upgrade.php file, etc.  No fix so far, except to use html links...
