I have an upload template for the Uploads module that works perfectly well with CMSMS 2.0.1.1 and Uploads 1.20.1. However on CMSMS 2.1.4 and Uploads 1.23.3 it throws an error

Code: Select all

Syntax error in template "content:content_en"  on line 3 "

{cms_module module="Uploads" category="minutes" mode="upload"  template="my_upload" file_extensions="pdf"}
"  - Unexpected ";", expected one of: "}"

The same thing happens when I omit a template, so I'm not sure that the error is within my template code. How can I find out exactly what is causing the smarty complier to throw this error? Where is {startform} defined?

This means that you have a syntax error on the page content, not on any particular template. Technically content blocks are still templates as they are parsed by smarty.

For some reason there is a ";" somewhere on that page main content block that is breaking Smarty parsing.

Yes, I understood the meaning of the error message. I suspect that the error is in {startform} but I don't know where to locate it. The trace shows the start of a parse of <h2><span> and that code isn't in my template but it is on the final page as viewed in the previous version, so it can only be contained in {startform}.

Because tags are parsed and replaced recursively I don't think that is the problem. Besides, {startform} is a tag that just renders the <form...> HTML tag eventually with a few additional hidden fields. However you would probably find it on the 'my_upload' template, used explicitly by the Uploads tag call... In any case, make sure you clear the CMSMS cache, just in case.

I've tried with no template and also with the example template and, both times, the same error occurs so I don't think it's my template that is at fault.

Sorry, the fault was mine. I eventually found the error and corrected it. However that then revealed a problem with the Uploads module where the code to detect a mode of 'upload' has been dropped from action_default.php, and all upload requests are treated as 'summary'. I will report this as a possible bug.
