fatal error when I click on a subcategory

First of all, I can't get my subcategories to display on launch. The root has to be clicked, which I don't like. Second, when I click on a subcategory, I get this fatal error:

Fatal error: Smarty plugin error: [in customer/main/subcategories.tpl line 28]: unknown tag - '"Categories"|lower' in /home/permutat/public_html/xcart/Smarty-2.3.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1993

Please tell me how to solve both these problems.

Hi,

Was this working out of the box or has it stopped working since you modified the templates?

What version are you running?

Same error.

The same thing is happening to me at www.wanderingp.com. I have more info on it though. (Or at least what is going on with mine.)

This error:
Fatal error: Smarty plugin error: [in customer/main/subcategories.tpl line 28]: unknown tag - '"Categories"|lower' in /home2/peddler/public_html/Smarty-2.3.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1993

Happens right after I compiled my templates into Emglish and then reloading my customer front-end and clicking on any category. If i restore the templates and reload the customer frontend, it works fine. Compile again, gives the same error. So I know what caused it, just not how to resolve it. Any help would be appreciated.

More info:
ver. 3.3.3
Also, I just reset my host, and reinstalled xcart. same problem.

Thanks,

make sure under Smarty-2.3.0/plugins/ that the file modifier.lower.php exists, if it doesn't, create it and copy paste the following code in it:

Code:

<?php



/*

 * Smarty plugin

 * -------------------------------------------------------------

 * Type:     modifier

 * Name:     lower

 * Purpose:  convert string to lowercase

 * -------------------------------------------------------------

 */

function smarty_modifier_lower($string)

{

        return strtolower($string);

}



?>

That file exists and contains the correct code.

Fixed it!

Ok. So I finally resolved it.

in /customer/main/subcategories.tpl - Basically it put in {"Categories"|lower}. After compiling, it should be "Categories"|lower - no {}. After i took those out its working like a charm.

the code it put in after compiling to English (about lines 24-30):

Code:

<td align=right nowrap><font class=Text>

{if $subcategories[cat_num].product_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } products

{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } {"Categories"|lower}

{/if}

</font></td>

Code that fixed it:

Code:

<td align=right nowrap><font class=Text>

{if $subcategories[cat_num].product_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].product_count } products

{elseif $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count}

{ $subcategories[cat_num].subcategory_count } "Categories"|lower

{/if}

</font></td>

Thanks everyone for all your help!

[quote="Wanderingp"]Ok. So I finally resolved it.

Thanks again for posting your fix. I had the same situation after compiling to English and your fix fixed it.
