OK, something weird is going on here...

Please replace the function htmlAssetSpriteImage($urlImage, $d) function with:
function htmlAssetSpriteImage($urlImage, $d)
	{
		$image = "<div style='background-image: url(" . $urlImage . ");"
			.	"width:" . $d->w . "px;"
			.	"height:" . $d->h . "px;"
			.	"background-position:-" . $d->x . "px -" . $d->y . "px;'>"
			.	"</div>";

		return $image;
	}

This is sooo, weird... My clipboard WILL NOT paste the correct code...

Hopefully, this time it is OK. Replace the function htmlAssetSpriteImage($urlImage, $d) function (line 984) with:
function htmlAssetSpriteImage($urlImage, $d)
	{
		$image = "<div style='background-image: url(" . $urlImage . ");"
			.	"width:" . $d->w . "px;"
			.	"height:" . $d->h . "px;"
			.	"background-position:-" . $d->x . "px -" . $d->y . "px;'>"
			.	"</div>";

		return $image;
	}

right, this is not working... as soon as I place code tags around it, it's adding single quotes that shouldn't be there...

Download this file attachment, copy and paste it over the function htmlAssetSpriteImage($urlImage, $d) function from line 984:

No it didn't, i even removed the whole function and tested, the error message was still there.
The good news is that i found the problem, i think its some kind of server configuration issue, i installed the component in another server and it worked fine. Do you have any ideas on what kind of PHP configuration may cause this kind of error?

Anyway, i'll compare the PHP configuration in both servers to try to find out what is happening. If i get the problem i'll post the solution here.

Thanks a lot for your help anyway. ;)

When I opened the code you pasted for the whole file, there were syntax errors caused by single quotes(') in the function... This meant that a lot of the PHP that followed was behaving as if it were still part of the quoted string.

Anyway, here's my entire dom.php file attached.

Rename yours dom.php_BACKUP and then unzip this into that directory.

Hope it helps!

If that doesn't work, check that PHP short tags are OK for your PHP version as well as the requirements for closing PHP tags.

Problem solved,

The "asp_tags" option was enabled, i just set it "off" and the components start to work.

Thanks a lot audibleid.

Hi Denardi

Thanks for this post: but can you offer a little more detail on this solution. I am currently faced with the same issue. Do I request a configuration change from my hosting provider or is this done locally? Is it done within the ini files, etc????

Thanks much..

Hi @vlemos,

Depending on your hosting arrangements, you may or may not be able to configure this yourself...

You could achieve it in a htaccess directive though. Please see: stackoverflow.com/questions/14694116/how...thin-a-specific-file

Hope it helps,

Thanks Gez, but so far the 'php_flag asp_tags' setting is just totally breaking my site. I don't know why..

Hi vlemos,

I've just set the "asp_tags" option to "off" on the "php.ini" file in my host. But i don't know if all host allow that kind of setting.

Best regards

H @vlemos,



Also, if you're not able to access the php ini, and/or your host can't, won't or it will cost you to get them to do it, you can override this configuration parameter using a htaccess file. Please see this stackoverflow question for details: stackoverflow.com/questions/14694116/how...thin-a-specific-file

Naturally, if you have a htaccess.txt file in your joomla root, you'll also need to;
  1. rename the file 'htaccess.txt' to '.htaccess'
  2. ensure you have the joomla config set to pickup your .htaccess
Then, from following that post you will be able to add the suggested directive to your file and switch asp tags off inside your joomla installation.

Hope it solves it for you!

Best of luck,

Gez

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
