harperk Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Good evening helpful people! I have the add-on 'ask a product question' installed on a 2.3. Very easy to follow simple instructions (so I was to believe!). This add-on does not work. When navigating to a product I get the following error page Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /mounted-storage/home2/sub001/sc17958-FIWR/myfairhands.co.uk/product_info.php on line 207 Please could someone help with this problem. p.s I am grateful to people who are kind enough to contribute and create add-ons that help others but it would be nice if the add-on's worked when instructions are followed correctly.

PupStar Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 for starters a link to the contribution used would be helpful so we can see if you are using a compatible version. Also if the version is compatible then I would recheck your install as you may have put something in the wrong place. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.in.no Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 : syntax error, unexpected '<' in The error message tells you what is wrong, Check the product_info.php for errors or copy back your backed up file and redo the changes as there are some errors in them...

harperk Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Thank you for you replies! I am using add-on http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7781 I already restored product_info.php from a back up and started the changes again. I have used previous add-on successfully, so I have some idea what I am doing :) There is not very much code that was required to be added so all I did was copied and paste and replacing the line I was instructed to. This is the code in my product_info.php <?php /* $Id$ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2010 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ require('includes/application_top.php'); if (!isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) { tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)); } require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language .
