syntax error, unexpected '<' in /forumdisplay.php(833) eval'd line 1

[MTGDarkness]

Basically, I'm getting this weird new error on forumdisplay. It doesn't crash, it just floats above the forum...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in <x>/forums/forumdisplay.php(833) : eval()'d code on line 1
http://forums.mtgdarkness.com/forumdisplay.php?f=127
I don't know where it came from (I didn't screw around with any templates recently), nor do I know how to fix it (it's been a while since I did any tech work on vBulletin). How do I deal with this?
Lines 830-835 in Forumdisplay is this:
if($thread['sticky'] == "1" && !$donestickysep)
{
eval("\$threads .= \"".$templates->get("forumdisplay_sticky_sep")."\";");
$shownormalsep = true;
$donestickysep = true;
}



Unfortunately I have no idea what to do about this. How do I debug this?

Did you look at the template forumdisplay_sticky_sep to see if it looks OK?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

And also take a look in the template, as suggested above.

I don't have that template. I looked in FORUMDISPLAY, but found nothing out of the ordinary... I'm currently running 3.7.6 PL1.

Nope. Didn't work.

It is looking for that template. it is NOT a default template and that is NOT default code. You have edited your file to add that in.

It looks like that's from MyBB code.

ETA: In Vb's forumdisplay, line 833 is the hook 'forumdisplay_query_threadid' (ETA: in version 3.8.3, anyway), so maybe it's related to that (look in plugin manager and see what's using that hook).

I know you said above that you disabled plugins and it didn't fix it, but if you found the wrong forumdisplay.php maybe you edited the wrong config.php?

Whoops, wouldn't you know it, I was messing with a MyBB install on the wrong site and didn't notice. Good call kh. You'd think that I would pick it up after seeing that the folder "includes" was called "inc"... Derp.

Disabling plugins fixed the issue... Now to see which plugin it was.

EDIT: Fixed it. Stupid jdski.
