I’m having trouble with a Magento template file. There’s a syntax error in app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/product/new.phtml on line 37. Here’s the problematic code:
<?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, 'short') ?>
This error shows up on the home page. I’m not sure how to fix it. Can anyone help me understand what’s wrong and how to modify it correctly?
I was trying to display product information on the home page, including images, names, prices, and review summaries. The original code was much longer, with loops and conditions for layout. But this particular line is causing issues. Any ideas on what might be causing the unexpected T_STRING error and how to resolve it?
hi luke, sounds like a beast! have u verified if the getReviewsSummaryHtml method exists in ur theme? custom themes might override it. also check if $_product is set correctly. try outputting the product name to see if it works. best of luck!
I’ve encountered similar issues before. The problem might be related to the $_product variable not being properly initialized. Check if it’s defined and populated correctly before this line. Also, ensure that the Reviews module is enabled and up-to-date. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache and recompiling. As a temporary workaround, you could comment out this line to see if it resolves the immediate error. Remember to check your PHP version compatibility with your Magento installation as well.
ooh, interesting problem! have u considered checking the module that handles reviews? sometimes conflicts arise when modules aren’t compatible. maybe try disabling the review module temporarily to see if it resolves the issue? also, whats ur magento version? that could be relevant too!
