Anybody.

[Jade Elizabeth]

Those are Eval errors, please do this for me:

This is an eval error, the error might not even be in that file.

you'll have to disable template eval temporarily to get the real file and error line.

To do this, run this query in PHPmyAdmin (What is phpMyAdmin?)

Code Select Expand

INSERT INTO smf_settings VALUES ('disableTemplateEval', 1);

Once that's done, get the error again and copy it (the file and line may have changed), then run this query to re-enable it:

Code Select Expand

DELETE FROM smf_settings WHERE variable = 'disableTemplateEval';

I really didn't notice the error up until recently when I was playing around in the help section, but then again I don't use the help section much myself.

Where are you getting this from?
Is this REALLY in the error log?

[kizer]

8: Undefined index: manual_posting_Change_size

[Jade Elizabeth]

Can I have 5 lines above and below that line please?

[kizer]

From what I can tell this might be the line its pointing out.

Code Select Expand

', $txt['manual_posting_Change_size'], '

But here is the before and after about it.

Code Select Expand

Looks like it might have something to do with this mod.

I think you should search that mods topic, or contact the author .

I don't see anything wrong with it, unless you don't have the text strings from the modification. Check your language files for them (or parse the mod www.sleepycode.com and put them there).

[kizer]

What I don't understand is I only get that error in the help section under posts. I'll tinker with it some or maybe remove that mod and see if it goes away. Thanks and of course I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.

[kizer]

Welp removed the mod entry in the Help.template.php and all is well again. I guess some how it didn't like being there. I removed it and everything is back to normal. Thank you for all your help and giving me that kick in the pants to fix my problem. I was only stumped because I couldn't figure out why the help section would of had a mod in it.

[Jade Elizabeth]

You're welcome

[maihannijat]

You have removed Font Size Drop down mod? and fix this issue

cause i have same errors in my log.

Thanks
