Forum is Down: Syntax Error, Help!

[Uhura!]

I can't even uninstall -

Here's what happens when I visit my forum now:

White screen & error~>

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '$txt' (T_VARIABLE) in /home/ourmo0/public_html/community/Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php on line 219

Here's the mod

Here's line 219:

$txt['avatarselect_error_req'] =  'An avatar is required! Please select one.';

Please tell me how to fix this.

Thank you!

[Oldiesmann]

Sounds like a missing semicolon or an unescaped single quote somewhere. If you can attach that file, I'll be glad to help

[kat]

If you can tell us if you did anything, like a mod install, just before this started happening, so much the better.

[Uhura!]

I did not do anything other than upload & install the mod from the admin panel @ the forum.

Here's the file. I appreciate the help.

Line 219 is this: $txt['avatarselect_error_req'] =  'An avatar is required! Please select one.';

There should a ; at the end of $txt['ContactUs'] = 'Contact Us' a few lines above it.

There's a reason why you're an SMF legend. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[Uhura!]

No avatar on the registration form though... but I am glad my forum is not down!

[Arantor]

I'd take that up with the mod maintainer then, I don't know what's wrong with the mod offhand, and even though there were changes in 2.0.6 that affected registration, I was very careful not to break that mod.

Ok Arantor, thanks again.
