I finally had some time to do some digging. I still have an issue.

I'm not sure why inline moderation is broken, but it is. I can't move, merge or otherwise affect posts from the thread view. I also have difficulty with inline moderation from the forum view where I can see multiple threads. The moderation tool at the bottom of the page is what is affected. It appears to submit the affected posts to inlinemod.php which blows up on line 3869.

I'm not necessarily wanting someone to solve my problem for me. I am however interested in suggestions on how to troubleshoot this or where to look for the problem.

I have a number of moderations to my templates. I have gone through and one by one disabled them, tested, and re-enabled them with no success.

I have a number of mods installed most of which are supported and I don't believe any of them are the culprit. They are mostly things like twitter hooks.

I'm reasonably confident that this isn't related to my mods. Most of my mods revolved around masking user info from guest users. I just wish I had a more meaningful error message then :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/brianpz/public_html/forums/inlinemod.php on line 3869

That doesn't exactly tell me very much... other then looking at line 3869:

PHP Code:

$edit['parseurl'] = ($vbulletin->GPC['parseurl'] AND $vbulletin->forumcache["$destpost[forumid]"]['allowbbcode']);
    $edit['disablesmilies'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['disablesmilies'];
    $edit['enablesmilies'] = $edit['allowsmilie'] = ($edit['disablesmilies']) ? 0 : 1;
    $edit['reason'] = fetch_censored_text($vbulletin->GPC['reason']);
    $edit['title'] = $vbulletin->GPC['title'];

    // Update First Post
3869--->    $postman =& datamanager_init('Post', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_ARRAY, 'threadpost');
    $postman->set_existing($destpost);
    $postman->set_info('parseurl', $edit['parseurl']);
    $postman->set('pagetext', $edit['message']);
    $postman->set('userid', $userid, true, false); // Bypass verify 


Any suggestions on how I should troubleshoot this?

So far I have:
- checked that template modifications weren't the obvious cause of the issue.
- turned on template tracing to get an idea what templates are involved.
- looked at the offending PHP code and line 3869 and took a glance at the preceding code... although I'm not really a PHP coder. I am very experienced in ASP/vbscript so this isn't that strange.

It seems like the next solution would be to try and backtrack in the code and figure out how it gets to 3869 and check for broken items.

It seems like the basic logic is that checking off the checkboxes on the thread selects the post ID and then sends these to inlinemod.php. From there inlinemod.php checks some security and performs functions. Somewhere along the way it's complaining about the data on page 3869.

I am using the legacy postbits... so there could be a conflict between them and the inlinemod.php.
