Parse error clicking on "Forum manager"

[SlipNslide281]

When I click on "Forum manager" or "Add new forum" I get this error.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ':' in /home/sonafcom/public_html/forums/admincp/forum.php on line 97

does anyone know how to fix this error?

Not without some more info. What was the last hack you installed? What vB version are you using?

MarcoH64, I just wanted to say thank you very much for responding to my question. I have asked many questions on this forum and havn't gotten many answers. Seems a lot of people have learned so much that when they see a noob like me they just roll there eyes and move on to the next.

I fixed it. When I installed the adv banner hack one of the requests was this:
- Below add:
$forum['banner'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['banner']);
$forum['bannerlink'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['bannerlink']);
$forum['banneralt'] = convert_to_valid_html($forum['banneralt']);

and I accidently copied "Below add:" , "Bellow add" was on line 97 and I noticed it after going threw every step of the install.


Again thanks for the response. Very much appreciated.

No problem, glad i helped (well i didn't do much).

Sometimes people don't answer because they don't understand the question, didn't get enough information, or are just short on time and hope someone else will answer.

Best advise to get a quick answer:
- Try searching first
- Post in the correct place (if you have problems with/after installing a hack, post in the thread of that hack, not in general area).
- Provide as much information as you can.
