I just changed the theme to one which I developed and had these things showing up on the top of the page:

calls without an existing one // to avoid confusion when using the include in different contexts. // Entities without a namespace are deprecated, but widely used. $content = ereg_replace('<' . '% +_t\((\'([^\.\']*)\'|"([^\."]*)")(([^)]|\)[^ ]|\) +[^% ])*)\) +%' . '>', '
$MenuTitle.XML

Hope someone is familiar and can help out. Thanks! :)

any ideas guys? :)

bump!

I too had this when using the Global Theme on SS 2.4 I have also had it on a dev site.

The problem seems to be this code in SSViewer.php

$content = file_get_contents(SSViewer::getTemplateFile($identifier));

// $content = "<!-- getTemplateContent() :: identifier: $identifier -->". $content;
// Adds an i18n namespace to all <% _t(...) %> calls without an existing one
// to avoid confusion when using the include in different contexts.
// Entities without a namespace are deprecated, but widely used.

For some reason when choosing anything other than the default theme in the 2.4 admin the commented code is splatted all over the output. A temporary solution is to remove the commented code entirely.

I forgot to mention that I also got it over the freshly installed admin until the first refresh - then it went away. Very odd.

I was using apache fcgid at the time and have since changed back to mod_php where the page error occurs

My proposal for this problem (which also happend on my site running on gomain*go / PHP 5.2.11):

- has nothing to do with different themes,
- in sapphire/core/SSViewer.php you need to change the leading // of the command block starting at line 317 (V2.4.1) into something :

  ...
/* $content = "<!-- getTemplateContent() :: identifier: $identifier -->". $content; 
  * Adds an i18n namespace to all <% _t(...) %> calls without an existing one
  * to avoid confusion when using the include in different contexts.
  * Entities without a namespace are deprecated, but widely used.
  */

  $content = ereg_replace('<' . '% +_t\((\'([^\.\']*)\'|"([^\."]*)")(([^)]|\)[^ ]|\) +[^% ])*)\) +%' . '>', '<?= _t(\''. $identifier . '.ss' . '.\\2\\3\'\\4) ?>', $content);
  ...

looks like the <% %> symbols can't be mixed with comment blocks indicated by a leading //!

- I would like to ask silverstripe core developers, to change the code accordingly please.

- in addition, one might like to add the following into mysite/_config.php for a productive site:

  // Director::set_environment_type('live');

  error_reporting(E_ERROR);
  ini_set('display_errors', '0');

Anyone knows, how to configure PHP to prevent this behavior maybe?
