First things first I would like to thank you for such a killer resource site Telli! I have book marked this and once my site is up and running correctly I will be linking and leaving a big ol fat thanks on it!

Now down to my questions. PHP-Nuke 7.0 was just installed today on my site by my provider. I am receiving a few errors and would like to solve one at a time. This is the first one I am receiving. Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in \www\admin\modules\stories.php on line 1182. I pretty much know nothing about PHP so if you can refer me to a great resource book that is very basic that would rock!

Thanks!!!!

Spencer

There is a how to manual here [ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

and for your error i would look in the admin\modules\stories.php on line 1182 for a ")" that looks out of place. Or post line 1100-1300 in here for us to see.

The page looks fine I dont see any errors. Did you pay for the installation meaning should they fix it? I have a couple options but they require uploading over pages already there. You can make backups but still I dont want to hose your site. If they offer any support i would use that first. There are alot of good books out there but for phpnuke i suggest you look into your root directory for a folder called Docs. Tells you everything you want to know about PHP Nuke.

It was installed by the provider but they provide no support for it.... This error happens when I try to post a news story, which is pretty much the bigget reason for using this software due to the fact that my co-news poster can't write HTML or anything at all... Almost wondering if I should just dump this and send him a copy of Dreamweaver and do it that way....

Thank you for the help so far Telli!

For the heck of it download the nuke 6.9 on this site under the PHP downloads and install that page over the 7.0 one make a back up of the original and then try to post a story. Let me know what happens.
