ExpandContract Hack Help · **Released**: 10-03-2002

I messed something up and am getting a parse error after installing the expand contract forums hack. I've looked everywhere for an accidental extra space or something and can't seem to find where I screwed up. Will someone who's familiar with this hack please take a look at my index.php for me?

Oops...it's officially called this hack:
Collapsable forums on forum home

You're not going to get much help. To be helped, you need to include the error message and 5 lines before and 5 lines after the line that the error was on.

Sorry about that...here is the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/differen/public_html/board/index.php on line 340

here is the code above and below that line on index.php:

if ($forum['cancontainthreads']==1) {
$tempext = '_post';
} else {
$tempext = '_nopost';
}

// expand collapse hack
if ($BrowserDOM==True) {
if ((!isset($z)) or ($depth==1)) {
$z=0;
} else {
$z++;
}
// get state of collapse
if ($forum[parentid]==-1) {
$collapsedstate=$forum['collapsed'];
}
// auto collapse forums based on forum setting
if ($collapsedstate==1) {
$fhomeexpandstyle="style=\"visibility:hidden; display:none;\"";
} else {
$fhomeexpandstyle="";
}

// auto collapse forums for user

for reference this is line 340 on my index.php:

if ((!isset($z)) or ($depth==1)) {

I'm scared to remove the { on line 340...thinking I'll just make the real problem worse. Any help would be great. My index is is inexcessible until I find my ++++ up.

:speechless: ...I cussed.

That was too many posts at once...sorry about that.

I tried adding what you said and am still getting the same error for the same line 340.

Littlebit: find this code:

PHP Code:


			// expand collapse hack
if ($BrowserDOM==True) {
if ((!isset($z)) or ($depth==1)) {
$z=0;
} else {
$z++;
}

under it add:

}

see if that fixes the problem
