Parse Error when inserting code

[Jimmy058910]

Hi,

 

I tried putting this Viglink code into my custom themes index.template.php on my SMF forum (I should do that right?) and I ended up with this error...

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/androidrtk_rev4n/index.template.php on line 554

545: 				subMenusContainerId:\'admsubMenus\',
546: 				duration:\'150\'
547: 				});
548: 		});
549: 	}
550: 	</script>
551: 
552: <script type="text/javascript">
553:   var vglnk = { api_url: '//api.viglink.com/api',

554:                 key: 'ad93febdf4e33c034d9635037b687fb3' };

555: 
556:   (function(d, t) {
557:     var s = d.createElement(t); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
558:     s.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :

 

I figured since it was a copy paste code that it would work just fine  :-\

 

In any case, how can I fix this?

 

Thanks in advance,

Jimmy

i don't see the php code, just javascript?

[Jimmy058910]

I know that copy/paste code is Javascript, but I thought this was a php error on a php file.

 

Sorry if I shouldnt have posted this here

[spiderwell]

the error is reporting a php error, but i can't see any php as you only posted up javascript, this is why I am confused. is this the 'raw' php file or the output of the php?

seems to be missing the "http:" at the start of the api_url declaration...  Probably nothing to do with it, but I know even less about JS than I do PHP

The first few lines of the code you posted have the single quites escaped:

 

545: 				subMenusContainerId:\'admsubMenus\',
546: 				duration:\'150\'

 

Which might be because the JavaScript is inside a PHP string. If you escape the other single quotes like this:

 

				subMenusContainerId:\'admsubMenus\',
				duration:\'150\'
				});
		});
	}
	</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   var vglnk = { api_url: \'//api.viglink.com/api\',

                 key: \'ad93febdf4e33c034d9635037b687fb3\' };


   (function(d, t) {
     var s = d.createElement(t); s.type =\ 'text/javascript\'; s.async = true;
     s.src = (\'https:\' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :

 

Dose it fix the error?

[Jimmy058910]

It doesn't fix the error, but it changes it to this:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/androidrtk_rev4n/index.template.php on line 556

547:  				});
548:  		});
549:  	}
550:  	</script>
551:  
552:  <script type="text/javascript">
553:    var vglnk = { api_url: \'//api.viglink.com/api\',
554:                  key: \'ad93febdf4e33c034d9635037b687fb3\' }; 
555:    (function(d, t) {
556:      var s = d.createElement(t); s.type =\ 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
557:      s.src = (\'https:\' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :
558:              '//cdn.viglink.com/api') + '/vglnk.js';
559:     var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
560:   }(document, 'script'));

556:      var s = d.createElement(t); s.type =\ 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;

 

The single quote after javascript needs to be escaped as well as the others. Try:

 

556:      var s = d.createElement(t); s.type =\ 'text/javascript\'; s.async = true;
557:      s.src = (\'https:\' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :
558:              \'//cdn.viglink.com/api\') + \'/vglnk.js\';
559:     var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
560:   }(document, \'script\'));

whoops there was a space between the backslash and single quote near text/javascript.

 

Try:

 

556:      var s = d.createElement(t); s.type = \'text/javascript\'; s.async = true;
557:      s.src = (\'https:\' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :
558:              \'//cdn.viglink.com/api\') + \'/vglnk.js\';
559:     var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
560:   }(document, \'script\'));

It worked. Thanks a ton for the help!
