New User throws Parse Error and cannot Publish pages

Hi all,

I’ve just installed the latest version on my Redhat Linux machine and have come across a couple of problems...

The first is: When I go to Manage Users and then click "New user" I get the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /var/www/vhosts/webnerd.com.au/subdomains/eventphotos/httpdocs/manager/actions/dynamic/mutate_user.dynamic.action.php on line 994

The second is: When I create a new page/document I cannot set the status to "Published". I can try to Edit the page, go to Page Settings, check the "Published?" box and Save it.. and it reports "Action was completed successfully!" but then the status is still "Un-published"

PHPInfo

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hm, sounds to me like your installation didn’t go well, perhaps a few files got corrupted in the upload. I’ve had that happen a time or two. Try re-uploading a fresh unzipped copy of the Manager folder. That file only has 994 lines.

Hi scottwell,

The files were uncompressed on the server so there’s no upload problems. Have downloaded and installed it twice with same problem.

Ah, well it was worth considering. Sorry, that’s the only suggestion I have; you’ll get others here soon.

You might wanna try to reupload the files from your comp, and uncompressed the files first before uploading them. Remember, there is sometimes a problem in the compression tools itself. It’s just my two cents, if it’s still happening, I’ll look into the file further.

Hope we can troubleshoot it more on monday maybe

Hi,

I just figured it out... the problems I mentioned occur when

(php.ini)
short_open_tag = Off

Should I report this somewhere?

(btw, just out of curiosity, does modx have coding standards like Pear? e.g. http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.tags.php)

Cheers,

I had the same issue.. in the mutate_user.dynamic.actions.php at line 994
at line 261 replace <? } ?> with <?php } ?>

Thanks for finding this... just committed for 0.9.2. Anyone find any more of those short-tag-suckers floating around?

Hope I found all...
