TOPIC: Syntax Error

Re:Syntax Error 17 years, 7 months ago #1921

Hello,

ok, I am really glad you managed to solve that, however neither I can image what .htaccess error might cause what was described here. However, IE sometimes acts strange.

As regards your licencing question, if it is the same site, with same content, just with different language version and country domains, it is okay to run them with 1 license only.

Best regards,

Hi,

I seem to have resolved the problem I am having, for those who are using RocketTheme templates and get this error, please do the following:

Open your templates index.php file and search for slimbox.js and you should find something like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/<?php echo $mainframe->getTemplate(); ?>/js/slimbox.js"></script>
All you need to do, is completely remove that line, and the error should no longer appear.

Thanks, Andrew.

Re:Syntax Error 17 years, 7 months ago #1932

ok

So the culprit seems to be the following line in the htaccess file:

RewriteRule (.*) index.php

Enabling this line whether JoomSEF is installed or not causes my site to show the error. I don't know why so if anyone does know then please post the answer here!

What is interesting is that with the htaccess file as it should be with JoomSEF installed, JoomSEF itself seems to work fine (apart from the error) except when I look for the adware code in the source it isn't there. I haven't modified any of the component's files. So it looks like the error I have encountered DOES seem to interfere with how JoomSEF works.

Strange but true...

Without this issue fixed or at least knowing why it happens I am reluctant to purchase the commercial version. And I really want it to work because it seems like a great extension!

Hi,

could you post the whole .htaccess file of yours please so we can check it? Please use the "code" tags to do so.
Also please, make a note about your webserver version. Also knowing what IE you have might be interesting.

As regards the sponsors links text, this certainly has no connection to it.

You say that even when showing the script error, it works fine. So I believe that is more some IE issue, probably with connection to some JS script or something that you are using. (as e.g. Andrew wrote above)

Best regards,

Re:Syntax Error 17 years, 7 months ago #1937

Hi,

James, also are you using a module called Slimbox by any chance, if so, as I posted before, remove the .js call in the header of the index.php, this doesn't need to be hardcoded, cause Joomla will call it anyway due to the module being used on the site.

I believe IE is kicking up the fuss because 2 duplicate .js are being used.

Thanks, Andrew.

hi Jiří,

htaccess used the same as the example in the component with one exception (the base):

The following line is the only difference between core SEF and third party SEF:

 
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
 


IE version: 7.0.5730.11
Linux i686
PHP 4.4.4
DB 5.0.26
Apache 1.3.33
Joomla 1.0.11

The sponsors text just seemed strange - you would assume if JoomSEF was working then the entries would have been in the source code. Oh well.

Hi Andrew...

I don't have a slimbox implemetation but I due use Highslide JS. I can also confirm that with the following core SEF line activated (and the 3rd party one commented out) everything works fine (i.e. there are no existing js conflicts).

 
RewriteRule ^(content/|component/) index.php
 


I guess there might be some JS relying on the line in the htaccess that we're discussing? I know very little about how htaccess works so I don't know unfortunately.

Thanks all
James
